Holes in the Dike: The Global Savings Glut, U.S. House Prices and the Long Shadow of Banking Deregulation
2016
We explore empirically how capital inflows into the US and financial deregulation within the United States interacted in driving the run-up (and subsequent decline) in US housing prices over the period 1990-2010. To obtain an ex ante measure of financial liberalization, we focus on the history of interstate-banking deregulation during the 1980s, i.e. prior to the large net capital inflows into the US from China and other emerging economies. Our results suggest a long shadow of deregulation: in states that opened their banking markets to out-of-state banks earlier, house prices were more sensitive to capital inflows. We provide evidence that global imbalances were a major positive funding sh…
The term structure of volatility predictability
2020
Volatility forecasting is crucial for portfolio management, risk management, and pricing of derivative securities. Still, little is known about the accuracy of volatility forecasts and the horizon of volatility predictability. This paper aims to fill these gaps in the literature. We begin this paper by introducing the notions of the spot and forward predicted volatilities and propose to describe the term structure of volatility predictability by the spot and forward forecast accuracy curves. Then we perform a comprehensive study on the term structure of volatility predictability in the stock and foreign exchange markets. Our results quantify the volatility forecast accuracy across horizons …
Practitioners’ Experiences of Social Media in Career Services
2015
A growing number of career practitioners and career centers are reaching out to individuals and community members in new ways by integrating various social media tools, such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, into their professional practices (e.g., Dyson, 2012; Osborn & LoFrisco, 2012). To many, social media are simply online tools to share information and to communicate and socialize with one another. In the broader sense, social media is defined as a process whereby individuals and groups build a common understanding and meaning with contents, communities, and Web 2.0 technology (e.g., Ahlqvist, Back, Heinonen, & Halonen, 2010; Kangas, Toivonen, & Back, 2007).An extensive body of litera…
Competenze docimologiche degli insegnanti di scuola primaria e dell’infanzia
2008
Nel contributo si mette in luce come, attraverso il modo di valutare, sia possibile orientare e dare autonomia al processo di apprendimento, il che significa: rilevare l’interesse e la motivazione dello studente verso particolari argomenti; responsabilizzarlo nel suo processo di apprendimento; orientarlo nelle scelte formative; valorizzare i suoi processi metacognitivi; promuovere la motivazione intrinseca allo studio. Le competenze preludono al diritto all’apprendimento e alla formazione in termini di lunga durata; richiamano processi di pensiero complessi in cui, attraverso idee, concetti e paradigmi, si promuove la personalizzazione delle esperienze conoscitive. Preludono, altresì, ad un…
Scenario modeling for the management of international bond portfolios
1998
We address the problem of portfolio management in the international bond markets. Interest rate risk in the local market, exchange rate volatility across markets, and decisions for hedging currency risk are integral parts of this problem. The paper develops a stochastic programming optimization model for integrating these decisions in a common framework. Monte Carlo simulation procedures, calibrated using historical observations of volatility and correlation data, generate jointly scenarios of interest and exchange rates. The decision maker's risk tolerance is incorporated through a utility function, and additional views on market outlook can also be incorporated in the form of user specifi…

Análisis sobre el e-portfolio en la formación inicial del grado de Magisterio
2018
En la sociedad del siglo XXI es necesaria la utilización de herramientas en la formación básica de los maestros que potencien el desarrollo de competencias clave para favorecer su éxito en los procesos de aprendizaje durante sus estudios universitarios y en su carrera profesional. Desde este enfoque se introdujo el uso del e-portfolio en una materia de la formación básica del Grado de Maestro/a de Educación Infantil. Se utilizó en el estudio un breve cuestionario, elaborado con la herramienta de Google, en el que se preguntó sobre las ventajas, inconvenientes, su utilidad y recomendación de generalización de su aplicación, y sobre el uso previo de esta herramienta durante su formación unive…

The role of the European Society of Human Genetics in delivering genomic education
2021
The European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) was founded in 1967 as a professional organisation for members working in genetics in clinical practice, research and education. The Society seeks the integration of scientific research and its implementation into clinical practice and the education of specialists and the public in all areas of medical and human genetics. The Society works to do this through many approaches, including educational sessions at the annual conference; training courses in general and specialist areas of genetics; an online resource of educational materials (EuroGEMS); and a mentorship scheme. The ESHG Education Committee is implementing new approaches to expand the r…
Yhteisövoimainen oppimisprosessi : substantiivinen teoria aikuisten ryhmässä oppimisen kokemuksista
2018
The aim of this study was to build a conception as well as a substantive theory of adult learners’ group learning. The framework for this study is andragogy, which places the life context of adult learners at the center of the learning process (Knowles 1990). This study has been carried out using grounded theory as a research methodology. Hermeneutics offers a broad scientific paradigm for the understanding of group learning as a phenomenon, whereas grounded theory offers a concrete tool for analyzing data and developing a substantive theory. In this approach, the theory emerges gradually in open interaction between a researcher and the data (Glaser 1992). The informants for this study were…
