▼ The primary goal of this dissertation is to find answers to the big question: Why are public employees commonly criticized for being less innovative, more risk-averse, and more unwilling to change? Prior research has indicated that public sector employees are indeed different from their private peers. For example, previous researchers have found that public employees are more concerned with job security and less concerned with higher pay. In addition, they found that public sector is more change resistant than private sector. However, little is known about the source of such differences. While the differences may arise from various constraints inherent in the private vs. public employment settings, they may also reflect underlying personality or preference dissimilarities. One likely source of preference heterogeneity involves individual’s risk preferences. Since public employment is considered relatively secure in comparison with employment in other sectors, this study hypothesizes that more risk-averse individuals may self-select into the public sector. Then, if risk preference is associated with other characteristics that may lead to criticism, such as more unwilling to change, findings may explain why public employees are less innovative and more risk-averse. This study uses the “relative risk tolerance” as a quantitative proxy for people’s risk preferences. To minimize the potential for endogeneity bias, this study uses individuals’ early-stage risk tolerance responses to predict their future sector choices. Using data from the NLSY79, this study finds that higher levels of risk aversion are predictive of greater propensity to pursue careers in the public sector. An individual whose level of risk tolerance is one standard deviation below the mean is 11% more likely to seek employment in the government relative to someone with average risk tolerance. Individuals do have tendencies to “self-select” into different sectors according to their risk preferences. In addition, this study finds a positive relationship between risk preference and innovativeness. However, such a relationship is only significant for the non-extreme risk-seeking subgroup. For risk-seeking individuals, the relationship between risk preference and innovativeness is simply undetermined. Several important policy and managerial implications are discussed in this dissertation. Advisors/Committee Members: Barry Bozeman.

▼ In the first condition six hens responded on concurrent schedule with two variable interval 60-s schedules leading to 2 s of access to wheat. This gave estimates of bias resulting from any uncontrolled differences between the two schedules (i.e., inherent bias). Then the same hens responded on concurrent chain schedules of reinforcement for two different durations of access to food: 2 s and 8 s. The initial links were both variable interval 60-s schedules and the terminal links were equal fixed ratio schedules. Over Conditions 2 to 8, the response requirement in the terminal links was varied over 1 to 128. Response and time ratios in the initial links showed responding and time allocation was greater on the key associated with the 8 s duration reinforcer, showing a preference for that terminal link, even when any inherent bias was removed. These preferences were generally greater the larger the response requirement. Preference followed the 8-s reinforcer when the key associated with that reinforcer was changed in Conditions 9 and 10, and was greater the larger the response requirement in these conditions. Thus increases in response requirement increased preference for the longer duration reinforcer. The terminal-link length increased equally for both food durations with increases in response requirement up to fixed ratio 32 for most hens. With fixed ratios of 64 and 128 there were some unequal length terminal links and these were associated with preference changes, with greater inequality between the terminal link lengths giving greater preference for the shorter terminal link. The study cannot separate out the effects of terminal link length and response requirement on preference, both most likely contributed to the preference changes. In the terminal links there were higher overall response rates and shorter post-entry pauses with the shorter duration of reinforcer (2 s) at the smaller fixed ratio values. These data follow the pattern seen in studies of fixed ratio performance, where less preferred reinforcers have given higher overall response rates and shorter post-reinforcement pauses at smaller fixed ratio values. These data indicate that differences in overall response rate in do not reflect the preference seen in the initial links. Advisors/Committee Members: Foster, T.

▼ Thesis submitted by Jinrui Pan for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Manchester, and entitled, “Time and Risk Preferences: Theoretical Models and Applications.” Date of submission 2014.This thesis makes contributions to two important areas of behavioural economics, namely individual decision making over time and under risk.Following the Introduction, Chapter 2 presents a new discounting function for analysing intertemporal choice. Liminal discounting, the model developed here, generalises exponential discounting in a parsimonious way. It allows for well-known departures, whilst maintaining its elegance and tractability. It also can be seen as an extension of quasi-hyperbolic discounting to continuous time. A liminal discounter has a constant rate of time preference before and after some threshold time; the liminal point. A preference foundation is provided, showing that the liminal point is derived endogenously from behaviour.Chapter 3 proposes an axiomatic model featuring a differential treatment of attitudes towards risk and time. Such distinction has been strongly suggested by experimental research when studying intertemporal choice, since the future is inherently risky. In the proposed model, non-linear probability distortions are incorporated into a dynamic model with discounted utility. Time is captured by a general discounting function independent of probabilities and outcomes. Utility of outcomes is captured by standard vNM utility independent of time. A two-parameter probability weighting function captures intertemporal probabilistic risk attitudes, with one parameter being constant over time, the other being time-dependent. An index of optimism is derived that depends on both parameters, which allows to model the observed high risk tolerance for delayed lotteries. Further, a preference foundation is provided. Interestingly, the model allows behaviour to be consistent with discounted expected utility, when risk is sufficiently distant from the present.

▼ Functional recovery of the upper limb after stroke is influenced by many factors, one being amount of affected arm and hand use following stroke. In the healthy population, amount of hand use is influenced by degree of hand dominance. Depending on side of stroke and previous hand dominance, these preferences may be altered, consequently affecting the amount of upper limb use. Determining hand preference in patients after stroke, when measured, is commonly assessed with questionnaires; however, these reports are subjective and patients may have difficulty recalling from memory which hand they use for the numerous activities on the questionnaire. A preferential reaching task has been shown to correlate with the degree of hand dominance as determined by the Waterloo Handedness Questionnaire, providing an objective performance-based method to assess the continuum of hand dominance in healthy subjects. A modified version of this preferential reaching task, with varying degrees of proximal to distal control, was used to investigate the influence of impairment, pre-stroke dominance and task difficulty on affected arm reach percentage. Results of the study revealed that it is feasible to administer a modified preferential reaching task in the stroke population, as the test could be completed in less than 10 minutes with no adverse effects reported from the patients. Heterogeneity made it difficult to detect statistical effects of task difficulty and pre-stroke dominance on post-stroke preference; however, there were trends observed indicating that patients with their dominant arm affected may have greater preference for the affected arm compared to those with their non-dominant arm affected. This was despite similar impairment levels between these patient groups. Preference for the dominant arm (whether affected or unaffected) was stronger when the task was at midline or in contralateral space, and when tasks required the greatest degree of distal control. In future, the degree of hand preference measured with this tool will have important implications for identifying areas in therapy requiring greater focus as well as identifying individuals who would most benefit from therapies that promote affected arm use, such as constraint induced movement therapy

▼ The waters off the west coast of Scotland have one of the highest densities of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in Europe. Harbour porpoise are listed under Annex II of the EU Habitats Directive, requiring the designation of Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) for the species’ protection and conservation. The main aim of this thesis is to identify habitat preferences for harbour porpoise, and key regions that embody these preferences, which could therefore be suitable as SACs; and to determine how harbour porpoise use these regions over time and space. Designed visual and acoustic line-transect surveys were conducted between 2003 and 2008. Generalised Estimating Equations (GEEs) were used to determine relationships between the relative density of harbour porpoise and temporally and spatially variable oceanographic covariates. Predictive models showed that depth, slope, distance to land and spring tidal range were all important in explaining porpoise distribution. There were also significant temporal variations in habitat use. However, whilst some variation was observed among years and months, consistent preferences for water depths between 50 and 150 m and highly sloped regions were observed across the temporal models. Predicted surfaces revealed a consistent inshore distribution for the species throughout the west coast of Scotland. Regional models revealed similar habitat preferences to the full-extent models, and indicated that the Small Isles and Sound of Jura were the most consistently important regions for harbour porpoise, and that these regions could be suitable as SACs. The impacts of seal scarers on distribution and habitat use were also investigated, and there were indications that these devices have the potential to displace harbour porpoise. These results should be considered in the assessment of sites for SAC designation, and in implementing appropriate conservation measures for harbour porpoise.

▼ Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) characteristically demonstrate interest in a restricted range of activities and often fail to respond to alternative environmental stimuli. These characteristics act as a barrier to learning important life skills. Strategies that motivate learners with ASD to engage in alternative activities warrant development and exploration. One such strategy is embedding interests into the learning environment to establish motivation and promote participation. While a number of studies in this area exist, the literature has yet to be synthesized. This dissertation contains two reviews and a single-case research evaluation to determine the evidence of embedding interests for individuals with ASD. The first study is a systematic review of quality and evidence for 20 single-case and group-based research studies. Studies were gated by quality to synthesize the evidence overall and within categories of dependent variables. This review shows limited or insufficient support for use of this intervention according to one rubric and mixed but sufficient support according to an alternative rubric. The majority of research support targets social/communication skills. The quality review identifies priorities for continued research. The second review is a meta-analysis of 18 single-case research studies on embedding interests of individuals with ASD. The literature suggests that embedding interest for learners with ASD can either be highly beneficial or highly distractible. Effects from moderator categories ranged from neutral to high, with several moderating variables identified. Threats to the internal validity of this meta-analysis are evaluated. Practitioners should take caution when using this intervention with students that display self-stimulatory or ritualistic behaviors when their interests are present. The third study is an original single-case research evaluation of the use of interests as receptive identification targets for children with ASD in the context of an intervention with added components. Overall outcomes demonstrate added effects of the embedded interest condition that correspond to increases in various indicators of engagement for two participants, while a third participant?s data is inconclusive. The outcomes of this study have implications for sequencing educational objectives and adding intervention components to promote skill acquisition in early language learning programs for children with ASD.

▼ The goal of this dissertation is to contribute in three ways to the literature on son preference and fertility through a comparative perspective. First, I examine the impact of son preference on fertility in China and South Korea compared with the United States. The impact that a female birth has on the likelihood of a woman having another birth is of the most concern: Women who have one or two daughter(s) as previous child(ren) are expected to be more likely to experience the hazard of having a second or a third birth. Second, my dissertation attempts to examine the effects of women?s status on son preference if women?s education reduces son preference. Third, my dissertation examines son preference and fertility in the U.S. Even though the U.S. has never shown son preference regarding sex ratios at birth, recent research has shown this association to exist among poor Hispanics. My dissertation used data from a national sample, 2002 National Survey of Family Growth. The results showed that women in China and South Korea who had a daughter instead of a son as their first child had a higher hazard of having a second birth as expected. Moreover, the results showed that the hazard ratio of having a third birth for Chinese and South Korean women was almost four and five times more, respectively. As expected, the hazard ratios for the U.S. were not significant and thus did not support the hypothesis. And the more educated women who had a daughter(s) instead of a son(s) as their previous child(ren) were less likely to have a second birth, but not in the third birth. This means women?s education apparently does not reduce son preference in the case of the third birth. Thus, women?s education apparently has limited or no influence on the childbearing decision where son preference is strong. Third, Hispanic women with low socioeconomic status did not have a significant hazard ratio of having a higher order birth. Accordingly, the dissertation does not find any statistical evidence of American son preference at the national level. Advisors/Committee Members: Poston, Jr., Dudley L. (advisor), Albrecht, Don E. (committee member), Finlay, Barbara (committee member), Saenz, Rogelio (committee member).

▼ An unprecedented development of various kinds of social media platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare, has been witnessed in recent years. This huge amount of user generated data are multi-dimensional in nature. Some dimensions are explicitly observed such as user profiles, text of social media posts, time, and location information. Others can be implicit and need to be inferred, reflecting the inherent structures of social media data. Examples include popular topics discussed in Twitter or Facebook, or the geographical clusters based on user check-in activities from Foursquare. It is of great interest to both research communities and commercial organizations to understand such heterogeneous data and leverage available information from multiple dimensions to facilitate social media applications, such as user preference modeling and event summarization. This dissertation first presents a general discriminative learning approach for modeling multi-dimensional knowledge in a supervised setting. A learning protocol is established to model both explicit and implicit knowledge in a unified manner, which applies to general classification/prediction tasks. This approach accommodates heterogeneous data dimensions with a significant boosted expressiveness of existing discriminative learning approaches. It stands out with its capability to model latent features, for which arbitrary generative assumptions are allowed. Besides the multi-dimensional nature, social media data are unstructured, fragmented and noisy. It makes social media data mining even more challenging that a lot of real applications come with no available annotation in an unsupervised setting. This dissertation addresses this issue from a novel angle: external sources such as news media and knowledge bases are exploited to provide supervision. I describe a unified framework which links traditional news data to Twitter and enables effective knowledge discovery such as event detection and summarization.

▼ Half a million girls a year are sex-selectively aborted in India (Jha et al., 2006); many others never reach their fifth birthday due to infanticide or sex-selective neglect. The Indian government has tried to curb discrimination against girls by adopting different policies, such as banning sex-selective abortions. However, based on the 2001 census, the ratio of girls to boys aged less than six years old keeps decreasing. Even putting moral considerations to one side, the importance of curbing this trend is considerable. Social unrest, violence, kidnapping of women and the like have been documented to occur whenever the sex ratio becomes too skewed among young adults (Hudson and Den Boer, 2002). It should, therefore, be a priority for the Indian government to halt these social practices leading to discrimination against and to the elimination of female foetuses and female toddlers. In this thesis, it is hypothesised that parents perform a cost-benefit analysis while deciding the allocation of vital resources among their children. This cost-benefit analysis is based on many factors. The economic system, the cultural system including, notably, religion, and household characteristics are believed to have an impact on parents’ willingness to discriminate against some of their daughters. Parents, however, have limited resources and, therefore, cannot implement perfectly their desire to keep, or not, all their children. The focus of this thesis is on the impact of religion on gender inequality in child mortality and its proximate determinants, namely, height-for-age z-score, weight-for-age z-score, vaccination, treatment/advice for diarrhoea and access to oral rehydration salts. Chapters two and three discuss the factors which lead parents to discriminate against some of their children; chapter two is devoted to religion while chapter three summarizes other key arguments from the literature. After discussing the data—mainly from the National Family and Health Survey (NFHS)—and the model specification in chapter four, chapter five uses a model-based approach to determine empirically what leads some parents to discriminate against their daughters. Using different techniques, that is, OLS, logit, Poisson, the Heckman correction for sample selection and the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition, this chapter reaches some interesting conclusions. First, Indian girls are clearly more at risk of dying during infancy, relative to boys, than would be expected based only on biological differences. The difference in mortality between boys and girls seems to be caused mainly by differences in access to health care. We also conclude that the Sikhs are the religious group with the highest level of gender inequality among their children. One other interesting conclusion of this chapter is that even if we find evidence of selection bias in the data in the case of vaccination, correcting for this bias does not change markedly our qualitative results. In other words, even after accounting for the fact that some girls may have been… Advisors/Committee Members: Knowles, Stephen (advisor).

The present work was aimed at the evaluation of the sensory and liking responses induced by dry white wine modified with increasing flavor concentrations. The tasting panel was composed by 34 trained subjects which were characterized according to gender, smoking habits, vinotype, 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) status, saliva flow, sodium chloride sensitivity, tartaric acid, tannic acid sensitivity and sweet liking. Tasters scored the intensity elicited by white wine spiked with different tastants (tartaric acid, sucrose or tannic acid) or increasing levels of a fruity flavor mixture together with their liking evaluation. The wines with different flavor concentrations were perceived increasingly sweet with constant sourness and saltiness. The tasting panel showed two groups responding differently to orthonasal flavor intensity measured as the longest distance, in cm, from the glass top where the smell is sensed. High and low smell sensitivity individuals showed equal (p<0.05) response to wine sweetness and wine liking while the former group provided lower sourness and saltiness scores. In addition, tasters highly sensitive to all tastes or to sucrose in wine scored aroma intensity with higher values (p<0.05). Given that the increasingly flavored white wines were perceived different only in their sweetness, the liking scores could only be attributed to congruent perception of fruity flavors and sweet mouthfeel. The preference for white wine was constant across all flavor concentrations, being dependent on some taster categories. Males, non-smokers, PROP medium tasters and low saliva producers yielded higher (p<0.05) liking scores than the respective counterparts. The sensitivities to sourness, sweetness or astringency did not influence preference scores. The Vinotype Sensitive individuals provided higher (p<0.05) liking scores than hypersensitives or tolerants. In conclusion, the results suggested that taste sensitivity had only a minor role on shaping the individual preferences of white wine
