Replication Data for: Social Capital, Racial Context and Incarcerations in the American States
No full textThis paper examines the differential effects of social capital on policy equity in state outcomes. Specifically, it explores the relationship between social capital and incarceration rates in the American states paying particular attention to racial disparities in incarcerations rates. Building on work by Hero (2003, 2007), I present a theoretical explanation and empirical support for how social capital operates differently under different racial contexts. I argue that social capital enhances social empathy in homogenous contexts and social controls in diverse contexts. Using state-level longitudinal data on the contiguous states, I find that social capital is positively associated with incarcerations, but only for African Americans. Furthermore, the effects of social capital appear to be conditional on racial context where this relationship is stronger as minority group size increases
Neuroeconomic studies on personality and decision making
Get PDFUniversity of Minnesota Ph.D. dissertation. July 2013. Major: Applied Economics. Advisors: Terry Hurley, Aldo Rustichini. 1 computer file (PDF); viii, 77 pages.Neural activity causally underlies human cognition and behavior. Investigating the neurobiological principles and computational mechanisms governing brain activity during decision-making provides a way to improve theories of human behavior in the natural as well as social sciences (Glimcher & Rustichini 2004; Rustichini, 2009; Fehr & Rangel, 2009). In this context, the discipline of Neuroeconomics was originally conceived as an endeavor to interrogate neural activity during economic decision-making with the aim of evaluating competing decision theories (Rustichini, 2008; Glimcher, Camerer, Fehr & Poldrack 2009). From this origin, Neuroeconomics has evolved into a full-fledged enterprise of consilience; an attempt to not only test and bridge, but truly unify natural science and social science explanations of human behavior (Wilson, 1998; Glimcher & Rustichini, 2004; Rangel, Camerer & Montague, 2008).This dissertation binds two neuroeconomic studies of decision-making with an introduction and concluding commentary. The introduction presents a brief introduction to Neuroeconomics, meant to locate both research studies in the existing literature and philosophy of this field. The conclusion provides a brief appraisal of the role of Neuroeconomics in further advancing the kind of research into decision-making reported here. Both studies in this dissertation comprise investigations of human behavior during experience-based decision-making, with a special focus on the fundamental value computations that underlie such choice behavior.Study 1 investigates the role of neural reinforcement signals during learning of a strategic decision task from experience.Study 2 investigates the moderating effect of intelligence on neural reinforcement signals during a sequential binary choice task.Study 1 is reproduced from (Hawes, Vostroknutov & Rustichini 2013), and study 2 is reproduced from (Hawes, DeYoung, Gray & Rustichini; under review).Hawes, Daniel R..

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
