Determinants of Human Development: Capturing the Role of Institutions
No full textIn this paper, we study development in a panel of 87 countries from 1970 to 2005. We focus on characterizing institutionally driven heterogeneities in the development effects of macroeconomic policies and on comparing the development process as measured by GDP to that measured by the Human Development Index (HDI). We do so within a novel dynamic panel modelling framework that can account for crucial aspects of both the cross-sectional and intertemporal features of the observed process of development, and that can capture the dependence of the development effects of macroeconomic policies on differences in countries’ persistent characteristics, such as their institutions. Among our findings are that macroeconomic policies affect development with less delay than suggested by conventional econometric frameworks, yet impact HDI with longer delay and overall less strongly than GDP. Differences in countries’ persistent characteristics may even affect the sign of the long-run development effects of a given macroeconomic policy: Fiscal stimuli in the form of government consumption expansions positively affect long-run GDP in countries with low institutional quality, but negatively affect long-run GDP in countries with high institutional quality.human development, institutions, dynamic panel modelling

Adapting data protection impact assessment for big data analytics : a GDPR-aligned framework for data privacy compliance
No full textBig data analytics (BDA) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have become integral to modern
decision-making, transforming industries and organisations by enabling the analysis of vast datasets to
uncover patterns, forecast trends, and optimise processes. However, the increasing adoption of these
technologies has raised significant concerns about data privacy and ethical considerations (Howe &
Elenberg, 2020). The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was among the first
global frameworks to establish legal guidelines for the collection, storage, and processing of personal data.
It mandates organisations to conduct data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) to identify and mitigate
risks to individuals’ rights and freedoms (EU, 2016). Similarly, the California Consumer Privacy Act in the
United States requires organisations to perform privacy impact assessments (PIAs), which serve as
proactive tools for evaluating and addressing data processing risks (CA.GOV, 2018). Both DPIAs and PIAs
provide a structured approach that enables organisations to systematically identify and manage privacy
risks associated with processing personal data. Beyond risk management, these assessments are essential
for demonstrating compliance and accountability (Butin & Le Metayer, 2015; Demetzou, 2019).
Our research, conducted in multiple stages, explored how BDA operations can adhere to stringent
principles and regulations governing the handling of personal data, with a particular emphasis on sensitive
data. Specifically, we examined the extent to which the current DPIA framework enables organisations to
proactively identify and address vulnerabilities in BDA-driven personal data processing, mitigating risks
before they escalate into critical issues (WP29, 2017).
Building on the findings of a systematic review (Georgiadis & Poels, 2022), we identified nine privacy touch
points (PTPs), representing key risks and harms specific to BDA. These PTPs became the focus of in-depth
research, which investigated their real-world manifestations through the perspectives and practical
experiences of domain experts. This phase of the study employed a comprehensive Delphi study,
complemented by semi-structured interviews, to gather expert insights on necessary changes and
enhancements to the DPIA framework. The goal was to adapt the framework to better address the unique
challenges and complexities of environments where BDA is used to process personal data.
In this paper, we present the findings from our Delphi study and expert interviews, addressing these points
in detail. Portions of these results were previously shared at the SIG BD Workshop, held in conjunction with
ICIS 2023 (Georgiadis & Poels, 2023)

Der griechische Gelehrte Georgios Zachariadis und sein Beitrag zum slawischen Schrifttum im 19. Jahrhundert
No full textAmong the Greek scholars who lived during the 19th century in the north-eastern Balkans, and also in Central Europe, and by their work contributed to the spiritual development of the Balkan Slavs, pride of place must be given to Georgios Zachariadis. Unfortunately, however, no detailed monograph on Zachariadis exists. On this account the problems that arise concerning the life and activities of this Greek scholar are still many and varied. In his study the author tries to fill one part of this lacuna. At the beginning of the work the following are examined, on the basis of new historical evidence: the date and place of Georgios Zachariadis’ birth, his studies and tenure as teacher in the Greek school at Zemun, the Serbian school at Šabac, and the Greek school in Vienna. The author continues his study by analyzing the various works of Zachariadis, which are written on Old Church^Slavonic, and the translations this Greek scholar made from Greek into Old Church Slavonic. Finally, the extent of Georgios Zachariadis’ contribution to Slavonic letters is made clear
