Ilusões cognitivas em tomada de decisão envolvendo risco e incerteza: uma análise comparativa entre estudantes e não-estudantes
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio-Econômico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Administração, Florianópolis, 2014.O uso de estudantes na construção de teorias comportamentais tem sido primordial (ARKES E BLUMER, 1985; KAHNEMAN E TVERSKY, 1979; WEBER E CAMERER, 1998). Entretanto, existe uma lacuna neste campo de pesquisa, pois existem poucos trabalhos explorando a implicação do uso de estudantes nos resultados. Dessa forma, o presente estudo buscou verificar as limitações ao uso de estudantes em experimentos que envolvam tomadas de decisão. Assim sendo, surgem as seguintes questões: (i) estudantes são bons representantes da população em geral nas decisões que envolvem risco? (ii) quais são as diferenças e similaridades envolvendo estudantes e o não-estudantes com relação à tomada de decisão envolvendo risco? A fim de responder estas questões, foi realizada uma comparação entre os resultados encontrados junto aos estudantes e o público geral (não-estudantes), utilizando-se as mesmas condições experimentais (desenho de experimento e ambiente de coleta de dados). Foram investigadas as seguintes ilusões cognitivas: efeito reflexo, efeito certeza e efeito custo irrecuperável. A amostra foi composta por 400 estudantes e 400 indivíduos constituídos da população em geral (não-estudantes), sendo ambas formadas por usuários do software Amazon Mechanical Turk. Os estudantes e o público geral se mostraram distintos com relação a inúmeros aspectos (idade, estado civil, escolaridade, ocupação, ter filhos e conhecimento em finanças comportamentais). Entretanto, ficou evidente que cada aspecto em particular pode ser determinante em influenciar um efeito e não deter qualquer influência sobre outro. Essas observações retratam que o uso de estudantes em finanças comportamentais é válido. Entretanto, deve ser realizado com ressalvas, pois aspectos demográficos podem deter proporções distintas entre populações, de forma a ocasionar superestimações ou subestimações dos efeitos, de acordo com a amostra utilizada.Abstract : The use of students in building behavioral theories has been essential (ARKES E BLUMER, 1985; KAHNEMAN E TVERSKY, 1979; WEBER E CAMERER, 1998). However, there is a gap in this field of research because there are few studies exploring the implication of the use of students in the results. Therefore, this study sought to verify the limitations to the use of students in experiments involving decision making under risk. The following issues arise: (i) are students good representatives of the general population in decisions involving risk? (ii) what are the differences and similarities involving students and non-students with respect to decision-making involving risk? To answer these questions we did a comparison between the results with students and the general public, using the same experimental conditions (design of experiment and data collection environment). We investigated the following cognitive illusions: reflection effect, certainty effect, and sunk cost effect. The sample consisted of 400 students and 400 individuals consisting of ordinary people (non-students), both formed by users of Amazon Mechanical Turk software. Students and non-students presented different characteristics like age, marital status, education, occupation, parenthood, and knowledge in behavioral finance. However, it was evident that every aspect in particular can be decisive in influencing an effect and hold no influence over another. These observations show that the use of students in behavioral finance experiments is valid. However, it should be done with caution because demographics can present different proportions between the two populations, which can lead to over-estimation or underestimation of the effects, depending on the sample used

English literature on the Ottoman Turks in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
Get PDFIn the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century a large and complex English literature on the Ottoman Turks developed, characterised by its diversity in form, content, opinion and context. This was a literature in the sense of a large body of texts sharing a topic, written in a similar time and place and in similar context, but also in the sense of a discourse, sharing literary conventions, citing similar sources, recycling information, accepted ‘facts’, anecdotes and images and drawing upon the same authorities.
I examine this literature from its sixteenth-century roots, tracing its growth at the turn of the seventeenth century and its development into a complex literature, influenced by English religious and political contexts as well as growing Anglo-Ottoman trade and diplomacy, until the dramatic changes brought by diminishing Ottoman power in Europe at the close of that century. I draw these sources together as a ‘literature’, by examining trends, chronological developments and connections between them, while on the other hand I focus upon the contexts of individual works and a nuanced reading of their representations of the Ottomans. Through this I seek to bring a broader and more balanced perspective on both English literature on the Ottomans as a whole and the diversity and complexity of the works of which it was comprised
Growth implosions, debt explosions, and my Aunt Marilyn : do growth slowdowns cause public debt crises?
Get PDFThe worldwide slowdown in growth after 1975 was a major negative fiscal shock. Slower growth lowers the present value of tax revenues and primary surpluses and thus makes a given level of debt more burdensome. Most countries failed to adjust to the negative fiscal consequences of the growth implosion, so public-debt-to-GDP ratios exploded. The growth slowdown therefore played an important role in the debt crisis of the middle-income countries in the 1980s, the crisis of the heavily indebted poor countries (HIPCs) in the 1980s and 1990s, and the increased public debt burden of the industrial countries in the 1980s and 1990s. Moreover, the HIPCs'debt problems were worse than elsewhere because, as a result of poor policies, these countries grew more slowly after 1975 than other low-income countries. Econometric tests and fiscal solvency accounting confirm the important role of growth in debt crises.Economic Theory&Research,Strategic Debt Management,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Conditions and Volatility,Macroeconomic Management

Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia e Gestão do Conhecimento, Florianópolis, 2009.A pesquisa busca aplicar uma ferramenta para testar sua funcionalidade e validade nos materiais didáticos assíncronos na EAD. Apresenta como objetivo identificar e agrupar critérios de qualidade nos materiais didáticos assíncronos. Procura também identificar os critérios de qualidade utilizados por organizações nacionais e internacionais. Como metodologia utiliza-se pesquisa bibliográfica e documental para compor a revisão de literatura e abordagem quantitativa para criação da ferramenta LVCEAD com base em 23 critérios de conteúdo, 19 critérios de linguagem e 22 critérios de estética. Apresenta também abordagem qualitativa para verificação da conformidade nos materiais didáticos assíncronos em 5 Cursos de Licenciatura, Bacharelado e Extensão na modalidade a distância, sendo 2 online de uma Instituição Européia e com acesso livre e 3 impressos de uma IFES com 342 horas de duração das disciplinas. Os resultados da aplicação indicaram que os Cursos apresentaram 70% de conformidade nos critérios de linguagem, destacando a necessidade de uma linguagem clara, pessoal, simples, dialógica e direta para elaboração de um material assíncrono estimulante. Em relação aos critérios de estética os Cursos apresentaram 70% de conformidade, ressaltando a importância de uma boa aparência nas unidades em termos de formato, tamanho das letras, tipologia, fundos e capa da unidade. E no que tange o conteúdo constatou-se que, os Cursos apresentaram mais de 60% de conformidade, identificando que os materiais devem ser elaborados de forma que estimule os alunos a desempenhar um papel ativo em sua própria aprendizagem. Portanto, conclui-se que a ferramenta LVCEAD permite ganhos de tempo e de recursos na produção e elaboração dos materiais didáticos assíncronos em EAD.The study seeks to apply a tool to test its functionality and validity in asynchronous teaching materials in EAD. Shows how to identify and combine the quality criteria related to asynchronous learning materials. It also seeks to identify the quality criteria used by national and international organizations. Methodology is used as bibliographic and documentary research to compose a literature review and quantitative approach for creating the tool LVCEAD based on 23 criteria of content, language of 19 criteria and 22 criteria of aesthetics. Also presents a qualitative approach to verification of compliance in asynchronous learning materials in 5 degree courses, Bachelor and Extension in the distance mode, and 2 online for a European institution, with free access and 3 IFES printed matter with a duration of 342 hours of courses . The results of the application indicated that the courses had 70% compliance of the criteria of language, highlighting the need for clear language, personal, simple, direct dialogue and to develop an asynchronous stimulating material. Regarding the criteria of aesthetics courses showed 70% of compliance, emphasizing the importance of good looks in the units in terms of format, font size, type, funds and cover the unit. And when it comes to content it was found that the courses had more than 60% of compliance, identifying that the material must be drawn up to encourage students to play an active role in their own learning. It was concluded that the tool allows LVCEAD gains of time and resources in the production and preparation of materials in asynchronous teaching materials in the Distance Education
