Personality assessment and self-other rating agreement : moderators and implications of agreement
2017
One essential aspect of personality test validation is to estimate the magnitude of self-other agreement of personality ratings. In this method, external observers form their personality judgements of the target person. The self-other agreement coefficients obtained provide approximations of the validity of the measure used. The magnitude of self-other agreement on personality has also proven to be useful in explaining real-life criteria, such as managerial performance. The main aim in this research was to study self-other agreement of personality ratings in various organizational contexts. First, the overall magnitude of self-other agreement was examined in a personnel selection sample; se…
On Capturing Oil Rents with a National Excise Tax Revisited
2004
In this paper the scope of Bergstrom’s (1982) results is studied. Moreover, his analysis is extended assuming that extraction cost is directly related to accumulated extractions. For the case of a competitive market it is found that the optimal policy is a constant tariff if extraction is costless. However, with depletion effects, the optimal tariff must ultimately be decreasing. For the case of a monopolistic market the results depend crucially on the kind of strategies the importing country governments can play and on whether the monopolist chooses the price or extraction rate. For a price-setting monopolist it is shown that the importing countries cannot use a tariff to capture monopoly …
Are Energy Market Integrations a Green Light for FDI?
2015
This paper studies the effect of energy market integration (EMI) on foreign direct investment (FDI). EMIs diminish energy uncertainty and price volatility in the host country and affect FDI through two channels: first, by harmonizing energy prices and, second, by reducing price dispersion. FDI may, as a result, increase both within and outside the EMI area, through energy stability mechanisms and price mechanisms, respectively. An empirical application on a global dataset including bilateral FDI data, during 2003-2012, using the gravity equation, shows that the integration of Portugal and Spain's electricity market in 2007 increased the amount of FDI's participants. Additionally, a positive…
Voluntary agreements for the achievement of sustainable development goals : Dutch Green Deals and WRAP agreements
2016
Voluntary environmental agreements (VEAs) are attracting considerable attention due to the complexity of the current environmental issues. Fostering collaboration between public and private parties is considered an effective means for achieving sustainable development goals. Even though VEAs have been studied in the past, little research has focused on the novel and successful agreements from the Netherlands (Green Deals) and the UK (WRAP agreements). Thus, this study aims at filling this gap of knowledge by exploring the way the Dutch Green Deals and WRAP agreements work and how their efficiency is measured. The data in this qualitative study was collected through theme interviews. In tota…
Klauzula wyłączności branży w umowie najmu lokalu w centrum handlowym
2019
The article deals with the issue of admissibility and validity of including a clause in a lease agreement. As part of this clause the lessor agrees to give the lessee, on certain conditions, the exclusivity right to conduct a specific type of business activities within the whole area of the shopping centre. The clause can be defined as an industry exclusivity clause. Antimonopoly regulations introducing bans on agreements restricting competition and exceptions to this rule have been analysed.
Multi-informant evaluation in autism spectrum disorder: a review study.
2020
In order to establish a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), assessment by different informants is required. Sometimes, however, there are certain discrepancies between evaluators. With the aim of shedding light on possible discrepancies between informants, this work includes an updated review of the literature to examine the degree of agreement between different informants regarding the characteristic symptomatology of ASD in children and adolescents (up to 17 years of age). A total of 20 studies were analyzed, in which the levels of correlation between the evaluations carried out by different informants were moderate or low. A large part of the studies included in this review foun…
Relationship Between the Critical Power Test and a 20-min Functional Threshold Power Test in Cycling.
2021
To investigate the agreement between critical power (CP) and functional threshold power (FTP), 17 trained cyclists and triathletes (mean ± SD: age 31 ± 9 years, body mass 80 ± 10 kg, maximal aerobic power 350 ± 56 W, peak oxygen consumption 51 ± 10 mL⋅min–1⋅kg–1) performed a maximal incremental ramp test, a single-visit CP test and a 20-min time trial (TT) test in randomized order on three different days. CP was determined using a time-trial (TT) protocol of three durations (12, 7, and 3 min) interspersed by 30 min passive rest. FTP was calculated as 95% of 20-min mean power achieved during the TT. Differences between means were examined using magnitude-based inferences and a paired-samples…
La ignorada acción directa del arrendatario-usuario en el contrato de leasing
2020
En los contratos de leasing cuando el usuario resuelve la compraventa del bien arrendado por inhabilidad absoluta “aliud pro alio” se producen daños patrimoniales personales del actor. Estos daños no tienen cabida en la cesión de acciones que efectúa la sociedad de leasing. La acción directa es el único mecanismo jurídico que permite reclamar esos daños. In leasing contracts when the user resolves the sale of the leased property by absolute inability “aliud pro alio”, damages usually take place in its patrimony
Jurisdiction in cases of divorce, legal separation or marriage annulment
2021
The subject of coordination is fundamental for the functioning of jurisdictional rules of the Regulation n.2016/1103 on matrimonial property regimes and Regulation n.2016/1104 on the property consequences of registered partnerships. Both Property Regimes Regulations have the purpose of gathering litigation before the courts of one Member State and have the related procedures managed by the courts of the same Member State. Recital 34 of Regulation No. 2016/1103 specifies that matters of matrimonial property regime related to proceedings pending before the court of a member state hearing an application for divorce, legal separation or marriage annulment should be dealt with by the courts of t…
Wines and spirits in the comprehensive and economic trade agreement (CETA): an analysis
2021
Il saggio analizza l’accordo commerciale globale ed economico (CETA) tra l’Unione Europea e il Canada limitatamente al commercio di vino e spiriti. L’Accordo, avente l’obiettivo di rilanciare il commercio e aumentare la crescita del mercato e l’occupazione, nonostante sia stato ratificato dalla maggioranza dei Paesi dell’Unione, non è ancora stato ratificato dall’Italia. Si guarda, quindi, in modo critico alle modi che che il CETA ha apportato all’accordo CE – Canada del 2003 volto a creare condizioni più favorevoli per lo sviluppo armonioso del commercio di vino e bevande spiritose sulla base dei principi di uguaglianza e vantaggio reciproco. The paper analyzed the Annex dedicated to win…
