Eredoctoraat prof. mr. Geert Corstens
No full textOn October 17, 2023, during the 100th Dies Natalis of Radboud University, Geert Corstens received an honorary doctorate from Radboud University. This honorary doctorate was awarded to him because of his tireless efforts for a strong, fair and equal constitutional state. This edition includes the laudation of honorary supervisor Roel Schutgens, the acceptance speech of Geert Corstens and the Van der Grint lecture given by Geert Corstens during the week of the Dies Natalis.
Geert Corstens was president of the Supreme Court of the Netherlands from 2008 to 2014. Immediately after his appointment, he was known for his assertive attitude towards the political apparatus. The independence of the constitutional state should not be threatened by the wishes and needs of politicians and other outsiders, Corstens believed. He has also made a formidable contribution to public-oriented communication and explanation of the rule of law. Corstens also wrote, among other things, the books Our constitutional state and The judge seizes power: And other misconceptions about the democratic constitutional state to promote general communication about rights and democracy in the Netherlands. Corstens is also the author of the standard work Dutch criminal procedural law and was professor of criminal law at Radboud University from 1982 to 1995

Dimensionalizing Cultures: The Hofstede Model in Context
Get PDFThis article describes briefly the Hofstede model of six dimensions of national cultures: Power Distance, Uncertainty Avoidance, Individualism/Collectivism, Masculinity/Femininity, Long/Short Term Orientation, and Indulgence/Restraint. It shows the conceptual and research efforts that preceded it and led up to it, and once it had become a paradigm for comparing cultures, research efforts that followed and built on it. The article stresses that dimensions depend on the level of aggregation; it describes the six entirely different dimensions found in the Hofstede et al. (2010) research into organizational cultures. It warns against confusion with value differences at the individual level. It concludes with a look ahead in what the study of dimensions of national cultures and the position of countries on them may still bring

Essays in Macroeconometrics
No full textThe thesis consists of three chapters on macroeconometric analysis with heterogeneity. Chapter 1 introduces an efficient data-driven clustering methodology for grouping heterogeneous responses within the local projection-IV framework. The proposed group local projection (GLP) estimator consistently recovers the latent group structure and the group-specific impulse responses. Chapter 2 introduces a quasi-Bayesian framework that combines general classes of loss functions and priors for joint inference on the latent group structures, including group-level parameters and group assignments. Simulation results demonstrate significant improvements in bias and coverage for group-level parameters compared to existing methods, particularly when group assignments cannot be precisely estimated. Chapter 3 models the joint dynamics of macro aggregates and functional variables within the Structural VAR framework. The proposed functional VAR (FVAR) is easy to implement and fully compatible with conventional SVAR tools. Simulation evidence shows that it performs satisfactorily in finite samples.La tesi consta de tres capítols sobre anàlisi macroeconomètrica amb heterogeneïtat. El capítol 1 presenta una metodologia eficient de clustering basada en dades per agrupar respostes heterogènies dins del marc de projecció local-IV. L’estimador de projecció local de grup (GLP) proposat recupera constantment l’estructura del grup latent i les respostes d’impuls específics del grup. El capítol 2 introdueix un marc quasi bayesià que combina classes generals de funcions de pèrdua i priors per a la inferència conjunta sobre les estructures de grup latents, incloent paràmetres a nivell de grup i assignacions de grup. Els resultats de la simulació demostren millores significatives en el biaix i la cobertura dels paràmetres a nivell de grup en comparació amb els mètodes existents, especialment quan les assignacions de grup no es poden estimar amb precisió. El capítol 3 modela la dinàmica conjunta dels macroagregats i les variables funcionals dins del marc VAR estructural. El VAR funcional proposat (FVAR) és fàcil d’implementar i totalment compatible amb les eines SVAR convencionals. L’evidència de simulació mostra que funciona satisfactòriament en mostres finites.Programa de Doctorat en Economia, Finances i Empres
