AHC interview with Trude Lowenthal and Lily Buchwald
No full textTrude Lowenthal was born Trude Rattner in Vienna, 1913. She was the oldest of Hersh Ber and Ryfcia Rattner's four children. Alltogether they lived on Neubagasse in the 7th Viennese district. After attending school, she worked as an accountant, did various office jobs at a department store and later at a store for car- and motorcycle supplies in Vienna. She left Austria for England in 1938 without her first husband, engineer Erwin Basch (who committed suicide in France 1940, when the German Army broke through). Her sister Lily Buchwald had already been in England a few months before her. She emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1949 where she later married Carl Lowenthal, who was originally from Germany. She worked as an accountant until her retirement in 1988. Trude Lowenthal lives in Jackson Heights, Queens, NY.Lily Buchwald was born Lily Rattner, in Vienna 1915 as the second-oldest of Hersh Ber and Ryfcia Rattners four children. After school, she worked as a secretary at a law office in Vienna. In 1937, she got married to the businessman/artist Julius Buchwald. After the "Anschluss", she managed to escape to England, in June 1938. Her husband (and later her mother and sister Trude) followed in fall 1938. In 1945, Lily and Julius Buchwald emigrated to the USA. She worked as an office manageress, secretary and bookkeeper in New York until 1975. Julius Buchwald (1909-1970) was a specialist for chess problems (he won the Chess-Problem-World-Championships of 1946 and 1948) and was also known as a composer and artist. Lily Buchwald's sister-in-law was author/poet/composer Mimi Grossberg (1905-1997), Julius Buchwald's sister. Lily Buchwald lives in Jackson Heights, Queens, NY.Austrian Heritage CollectionSee also Lily Buchwald Collection (AR 11120) and Trude Lowenthal Collection (AR 11121
Russian women in German universities — pioneers of female higher education?
Full text linkFrom the turn of the century till the beginning of World War I students from the Russian Empire
formed the largest group of foreign students in Germany. In recent literature, Russian women have
even been considered the pioneers of university education for women in Germany where the admission
of females as regular students was permitted later that in other European countries. Between
1902 and 1917, 290 Russian women completed their studies at a German university. By discussing
their backgrounds, education, migration trajectory and future careers, this article provides a collective
portrait of this group. At the same time it makes clear that Russian women were preceded by Germans
or other foreigners at all but one university. However, some of these figures were in fact pioneers both
in their scholarly fields and in women’s academic careers in Russia and other countries. Thus, the
article disproves the claim of their pioneering role in Germany, but at the same time opens up new
perspectives on women’s higher courses and university education in Russia. Refs 49.Работа выполнена при поддержке гранта Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft / The author acknowledges Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft for a research grant
Cultural norms and financial incentives: A model of how to fund universities
Full text linkThis paper derives the optimal compensation contract when two asymmetrically verifiable tasks are tied together, a cultural norm of behavior coexists with a financial incentive, and public funding is also a concern. To formulate ideas, we restrict the attention to higher education. The model generates at least three results: First, the monetary incentive for research crowds out the social teaching norm, i.e., peer pressure. Second, increased intrinsic motivation in teaching induces a social multiplier effect on the teaching effort. Third, the government underfunds the university if the teaching standard is lower than that of the government to implement its standard
Gjennomgang av tidligere LÆRERMOD-framskrivinger
Full text linkSiden 1998, da modellen LÆRERMOD ble etablert, har Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB) regelmessig publisert framskrivinger av tilbud og etterspørsel for ulike typer lærere. I dette notatet går vi gjennom tallgrunnlaget og resultatene i de tidligere beregningene. I tillegg sammenstiller vi tidligere framskrivinger med statistikk for årene som sammenfaller med tidligere framskrivingsperioder.KunnskapsdepartementetpublishedVersio
Becoming "We" Instead of "I", Identity Management and Incentives in the Workplace
Full text linkThis paper studies how a firm fosters formal and informal interactions among its employees to create a collective identity and positively influence effort. We develop a model where employees have both a personal and a social ideal for effort, and where the firm can make its workforce more sensitive to this social ideal by allocating part of the work time to social interactions. We show that by investing in social capital, the firm can increase the power of peer pressure, make screening among heterogeneous employees less costly and, finally, augment the effectiveness of
monetary incentives
Should Economists Listen to Educational Psychologists? : Some Economics of Student Motivation
Full text linkThis paper sheds light on the role of student motivation in the success of schooling. We develop a model in which a teacher engages in the management of student motivation through the choice of the classroom environment. We show that the teacher is able to motivate high-ability students, at least in the short run, by designing a competitive environment. For students with low ability, risk aversion, or when engaged in a long-term relationship, the teacher designs a classroom environment that is more focused on mastery and self-referenced standards. In doing so, the teacher helps to develop the intrinsic motivation of students and their capacity to overcome failures

LÆRERMOD: Forutsetninger og likninger
Full text linkDette notatet omtaler forutsetninger og likninger i framskrivningsmodellen LÆRERMOD. LÆRERMOD framskriver tilbud av og etterspørsel etter fem typer lærere: Barnehagelærere, grunnskolelærere, faglærere og andre lærere, samt lærere med praktisk-pedagogisk utdanning (PPU) innenfor allmennfag (PPU-A) og yrkesfag (PPU-Y).
Lærere utgjør kjernen blant ansatte i barnehager og skoler, og kvaliteten på de ansatte er en viktig faktor for barns og elevers læring. Videre utgjør lærere den største andelen av utgifter til barnehager og skoler, og deres arbeidsmarked er av betydelig størrelse i de fleste land.
Effektiviteten i utdanningssystemet avhenger i stor grad av muligheten til å forbedre kvaliteten på de som jobber som lærere. Et viktig premiss for kvaliteten i barnehager og skoler er å ha nok individer med lærerutdanning.
LÆRERMOD er en framskrivningsmodell som beregner om vi i fremtiden kommer til å ha nok utdannende lærere på nasjonalt nivå. Framtidig tilbud og etterspørsel er i modellen beregnet separat for fem typer lærere: Barnehagelærere, grunnskolelærere, faglærere og andre lærere, samt lærere med praktisk-pedagogisk utdanning (PPU) innenfor allmennfag (PPU-A) og yrkesfag (PPU-Y).KunnskapsdepartementetpublishedVersio
LÆRERMOD 2016-2040 : Fremtidig tilbud og etterspørsel for fem typer lærere
Full text linkI denne rapporten tar vi utgangspunkt i utdanning- og arbeidsmarkedsstatistikk fra 2017 og framskriver tilbud og etterspørsel separat for fem ulike lærerutdanninger basert på framskrivingsmodellen LÆRERMOD.
Vi tar utgangspunkt i utdanning- og arbeidsmarkedsstatistikk fra 2017 og framskriver tilbud og etterspørsel separat for fem ulike lærerutdanninger basert på framskrivings¬modellen LÆRERMOD. De lærerutdannede som inngår i modellen er:
Barnehagelærere
Grunnskolelærere
Faglærere og andre lærere (heriblant lektorer)
Lærere med praktisk-pedagogisk utdanning (PPU)
Lærere med praktisk-pedagogisk utdanning yrkesfag (PPU-Y)
Av disse fem lærergruppene er det er bare blant grunnskolelærere at vi framskriver et underskudd, dvs. høyere etterspørsel enn tilbud. Vi har en underdekning av grunnskolelærere i startåret for beregningene på rundt 1 000 årsverk. Dette underskuddet øker til rundt 3 000 årsverk i 2020, 4000 årsverk i 2030 og videre til rundt 6 700 årsverk i 2040
