Implementing the AIFMD: Success or failure? ECMI Commentary No. 34, 28 March 2013
No full textThis commentary considers the implementation of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) by the European Commission. The AIFMD creates an internal market for asset management and as an endeavour to develop market-based finance is an important piece of legislation for the European economy. The author, Mirzha de Manuel Aramendía, considers the implementation of some of the provisions that raised concern among industry participants. He finds that, on balance, a practical and flexible approach to implementation has been followed that should help secure the success of the framework, which at present is still uncertain. The commentary also considers the remuneration guidelines adopted recently by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). It encourages EU and national authorities to commit to the success of the AIFMD framework, as part of a broader effort to develop capital markets and reduce the historical reliance of the European economy on bank finance
Reconsidering the Relationship between Anti-Immigration Attitudes and Radical Right-Wing Party Preferences Using Implicit Attitudes Measures
No full textFor decades, survey research has mostly used explicit measures. However, social psychology has considered implicit attitudes as additional predictors of citizens opinions. This study will adopt the Single Category Implicit Association Test (SC-IAT) to measure preferences for radical right-wing parties (RRP) and anti-immigration attitudes beyond direct self-reports. It is widely accepted, that anti-immigration attitudes are sound predictors of RRP preferences. However, so far it remains unclear how this relationships is altered if implicit attitudes are taken into account. Based on the concepts of social desirability bias and avoidance of cognitive dissonance, it is theorized, that direct measurements may have underestimated (through social desirability) or overestimated (through avoidance of cognitive dissonance) the connection between anti-immigration attitudes and support for RRPs. The present study will test these assumptions using a sample of 400 German citizens completing two SC-IAT, integrated in an online questionnaire.This is a preregistration of the article: Kleinert, M.

Manuel Trillo de Leyva. Obra completa 1964-2005
No full textDenis Diderot is credited with saying that men of the past have a great advantage over us in that they did not know the weight of Antiquity. Something of that authority from a bygone era permeates much of the figure of Manuel Trillo de Leyva, a key figure in Seville\u27s architecture in the second half of the 20th century, who has been the subject of this recent monograph promoted by the COAS. For students in the late 2000s, shortly after his untimely death, Manuel Trillo was the name of the auditorium at the School of Architecture, a name that professors imbued with a halo of admiration and that gradually revealed itself to be a life of its own, that of the author of several of the city\u27s landmark buildings. The first of these was precisely that same stage, designed as a result of a competition won together with José Garrido when they were still students.A Denis Diderot se le atribuye haber dicho que los hombres del pasado tienen sobre nosotros la gran ventaja de no haber conocido el peso de la Antigüedad. Algo de esa autoridad de un tiempo anterior impregna mucho de la figura de Manuel Trillo de Leyva, clave para la arquitectura sevillana de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, que ha sido objeto de esta reciente monografía impulsada por el COAS. Para el alumnado de finales de la década de los 2000, poco después de su temprano fallecimiento, Manuel Trillo era el nombre del salón de actos de la Escuela de Arquitectura, nombre que los profesores imbuían de un halo de admiración y que poco a poco se desvelaba como una vida propia, la del autor de varios de los edificios señeros de la ciudad. El primero de ellos había sido precisamente ese mismo escenario, diseñado a resultas de un concurso ganado junto con José Garrido cuando aún ocupaban la platea como estudiantes

Party sympathy and anti-immigration attitudes measured implicitly and explicitly dataset (PAIED)
No full textThis data set measures two core variables of interest. Party sympathy and anti-immigration attitudes. Both variables are assessed explicitly through direct questions and implicitly through two separated SC-IATs.
More detailed Information can be found in the pre-registered report accompanying this study: https://doi.org/10.23668/psycharchives.5392 or in the supplementary Codebook.The study of demand-side factors for the success of radical right-wing populist parties has highlighted anti-immigration attitudes (AIA) as a particularly important predictor. However, these findings have relied heavily on direct self-report measures. This preregistered study theorises that direct measures may have underestimated, through social desirability bias, or overestimated, through cognitive dissonance avoidance, the relationship between AIA and support for the German radical right-wing party Alternative for Germany (AfD). A direct questionnaire and two Single-Category Implicit Association Tests were administered to a stratified sample of the German population (N = 369) to measure both explicit and implicit preferences for the AfD and AIA. Results reveal that the firm relationship between AIA and AfD voting intentions is strongest in an all-explicit setting, reduced in mixed analyses, and eliminated in the all-implicit model. This provides evidence that the need for respondents to report consistent ideologies may be a more serious threat to valid results in political attitudes research than is generally assumed. Social desirability seems to be less of an issue when assessing the strength of the correlation between right-wing attitudes and AfD preferences. Thorough robustness checks confirmed the reliability of these findings.Dataset for: Kleinert, M. (2023). Reconsidering the Relationship Between Anti-immigration Attitudes and Preferences for the AfD Using Implicit Attitudes Measures. Politische Vierteljahresschrift. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11615-023-00500-3Bisherige Forschung zu den nachfrageseitigen Faktoren für den Erfolg radikaler rechtspopulistischer Parteien (RRPs) hat migrationsfeindliche Einstellungen (AIA) als besonders wichtiger Prädiktor hervorgehoben. Diese Ergebnisse beruhen jedoch ganz überwiegend auf direkten Selbsteinschätzungen. Diese prä-registrierte Studie geht der Frage nach, ob direkte Messungen die Beziehung zwischen migrationsfeindlichen Einstellungen und der Unterstützung für die rechtspopulistische AfD aufgrund von sozialer Erwünschtheit unterschätzt oder aufgrund von Vermeidung kognitiver Dissonanz auf Seiten der Befragten überschätzt haben könnten. Eine Online-Befragung und zwei Single Category Implicit Association Tests (SC-IAT) wurden an einer repräsentativen Stichprobe der deutschen Bevölkerung (N = 369) durchgeführt, um sowohl explizite als auch implizite Präferenzen für die AfD und migrationsfeindliche Einstellungen zu messen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Zusammenhang zwischen migrationsfeindlichen Einstellungen und der Absicht, die AfD zu wählen, in einem rein expliziten Modell am stärksten ist, in gemischten Analysen reduziert ist und in einem rein impliziten Modell verschwindet. Dies wird dahingehend interpretiert, dass die Vermeidung kognitiver Dissonanz eine ernsthafte, aber bisher eher vernachlässigte Bedrohung für valide Ergebnisse in der politischen Einstellungsforschung sein kann. Im Vergleich dazu scheint Soziale Erwünschtheit bei der Bewertung der Stärke des Zusammenhangs zwischen rechten Einstellungen und Sympathie für die AfD eine untergeordnete Rolle zu spielen. Mehrere Robustness-Tests bestätigen die Zuverlässigkeit der Ergebnisse.Payments to all respondents was provided by Leibniz Institute for Psychology, Trier, Germany.unknow
