No full textThis dataset includes all data used in the analysis described in Jeuland et al. "Preferences and the effectiveness of behavior-change interventions: Evidence from adoption of improved cookstoves in India". The datasets conjoint_mixlogitfinal.dta and JAERE_data.dta are in STATA format and are called by the STATA do-file replications_stata_final.do, where only the path needs to be changed to run the analyses described in the paper. The file conjoint_for_lc.sav is a data file that can be used in Latent Gold, along with the analysis file conjoint_for_lc.lgf. Latent Gold is proprietary software, that is available at: https://www.statisticalinnovations.com/latent-gold-5-1/

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Analysis of the Potential for Treated Wastewater Reuse from the MCC Jordan Compact Investment and Implications for the Compact’s Economic Benefits
No full textThe Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is one of the most water scarce countries in the world. To address water shortage the Government of Jordan seeks to increase the use on non-conventional water sources such as reuse of treated wastewater for agricultural irrigation. Millennium Challenge Corporation Compact investment of US$ 275 million, made in water and wastewater sectors in Zarqa Governorate, is projected to improve water supply and collect additional wastewater from domestic uses. This study applied two-step approach to evaluate the economic benefits associated with the reuse of the additionally collected wastewater: 1) the development of water balance model for Jordan Valley, and 2) the economic analysis of impacts to the agricultural sector in Jordan Valley and municipal water users in Amman and Zarqa. The analysis results show that net benefits associated with the investment are significant and potentially contributing to water conservation in Jordan
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Understanding Patterns and Impacts of Electricity Quality and Access in Northern India
No full textIndians have suffered from rolling outages and blackouts even as millions of citizens have gained access to electricity in recent years, which has led to concerns about electricity quality and its impacts. We conducted an in-person survey of 500 rural households in 40 communities in northern India. We used the World Bank Multi-Tier Framework and Principal Components Analysis to generate indexes of electricity quality, and ran multiple linear regressions to examine the correlations of these measures with socioeconomic indicators. We find that electricity quality varies strongly across zones served by different distribution companies, but is less closely related to the national electrification program Saubhagya. Electricity quality is also positively correlated with legal and older connections that tend to have more safety features, but unexpectedly, not positively correlated with household wealth. We find that access to electricity is strongly correlated with better standard of living, as measured by household consumption, and that better electricity quality is strongly correlated with decreased household fuel consumption
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Mobilizing Domestic Private Capital for Nature-Based Solutions in Emerging Economies
No full textAchieving the Net Zero commitments set by nations requires adequate financing from multiple sources. In developing countries, finance for climate and nature, thus far, has primarily been mobilized from the domestic public sector and international financial institutions. In contrast, contributions from the domestic private sector have been minimal. While equity has been at the core of the argument for mobilizing climate finance primarily from developed countries, the failure to muster a paltry USD 100 billion proves that alternative options must be explored. The domestic private market in many developing countries has the potential to support climate and nature investment, but it remains largely untapped. With the bulk of low-cost Nature Based Solutions (NbS)potential in the global south, investment in NbS provides the rare opportunity to directly impact the lives of low-income communities disproportionately affected by climate change. Mobilizing investment for NbS within the domestic economy has the potential to provide a predictable source of capital for NbS projects, deepen the domestic capital and carbon market, and, more importantly, reduce the country’s reliance on international support anchored on conditionalities
