Abstract:
The following document was created in order to promote intonation consensus in ensembles and to better facilitate learning in educational settings. Non-keyboard instruments provide musicians an opportunity to make nearly infinitesimal adjustments to pitch while performing; this creates difficulties for students and challenges even the most seasoned professionals. Non-keyboard musicians struggle their whole lives to play in tune, and even when one knows exactly where they want to place a pitch, technical difficulties can foul any musician's performance. When performing solo, the musician must c

Abstract:
In any actual forecast, the future evolution of the system is uncertain and the forecasting model is mathematically imperfect. Both, ontic uncertainties in the future (due to true stochasticity) and epistemic uncertainty of the model (reflecting structural imperfections) complicate the construction and evaluation of probabilistic forecast. In almost all nonlinear forecast models, the evolution of uncertainty in time is not tractable analytically and Monte Carlo approaches (”ensemble forecasting”) are widely used.

This thesis consists of four essays. In the first essay, I examine how the historical planter elite of the Southern US affected economic development at the county level between 1840 and 1960. I find that counties with a relatively wealthier planter elite before the Civil War performed significantly worse in the post-war decades and even after World War II. In the second essay we investigate the link between religious membership and rainfall risk across US counties in the second half of the nineteenth century.

This thesis provides an empirical investigation of externalities and social interaction mechanisms in various settings. In the first chapter, I show how input heterogeneity triggers productivity spillovers at the workplace. I find that the exogenous assignment of inputs of heterogeneous quality allows workers to free ride on each other, yielding negative productivity spillovers. In the second chapter, I investigate the impact of violent conflict on firm behavior. I show how conflictinduced distortions in the accessibility of foreign markets force Palestinian firms to substitute imported

This thesis is composed of three self-contained chapters. In the first chapter, I propose a theoretical model that shows that trusting strangers is one of the channels through which institutions determine positive economic outcomes, such as entrepreneurship, but also negative ones, like corruption. The model predicts that the individual-level relationship between honesty and trust changes depending on institutional quality. I present empirical evidence in support of this prediction.

The thesis is a collection of three self-contained essays. In the first chapter, I present evidence that the effects of US tax changes on output depend on the level of economic slack. Tax cuts have large effects in good times, but only small effects in bad times. To explain the finding, I develop a search model of unemployment, in which the effect of a tax cut is small when unemployment is high. In the second chapter, we show that adverse financial shocks have large and persistent effects on output, while favorable financial shocks have little effects.

In order to ensure reliable parameter estimates, appropriate restrictions are imposed on the distribution of unobservables. Significant state dependence is present in both full-time and part-time employment. State dependencies are overestimated if persistent unobservables are ignored, and underestimated if an

This thesis addresses three questions using the same tool of microeconomic modelling. In the first chapter (joint with Emily Farchy), I examine the role of individual’s decision to acquire broad versus specialist knowledge. I show that a worker can afford to become more specialized on a narrower set of skills by relying on other workers for missing skills. This yields a new explanation of the urban wage premium, and in particular of why workers tend to be more productive in bigger cities, where the existence of better networks of workers provides more incentives to acquire specialized skills.

Partindo do cenÃrio interdisciplinar em que a MatemÃtica se encontra, este trabalho se resume a apresentar aplicaÃÃes oriundos da Geografia dentro da contextualizaÃÃo matemÃtica. Os PCNâs (1998), documentos que regem a educaÃÃo atual brasileira, deixa clara importÃncia do trabalho interdisciplinar no ensino, bem como a relevÃncia de um ensinamento contextualizado baseado na pratica e vivÃncia histÃrica do homem. Por sua vez, na Geografia foi visto que a cartografia traz contribuiÃÃes relevantes à matemÃtica, e que a trigonometria à uma das ferramentas principais utilizadas nesta conjuntura, ta

Abstract:
This thesis consists of three chapters that belong to the realm of Applied Microeconomics. The first two chapters are empirical projects that assess the role of time for human capital development of immigrants in the U.S. The third one is a theory project that studies how managerial career concerns and experimentation influence risk-taking behaviours. Chapter 1 studies how age at arrival in the U.S. affects the skill development of young immigrants in the U.S. Using the within family variation across siblings entered in the U.S. at different ages, I document a cognitive/non-cognitive tradeoff

Abstract:
This thesis studies the role of policies aimed at facilitating communication on economic and political development. In the first chapter, I explore the relationship between long-term spatial persistence and trade. Using a reduced form approach combined with a dynamic spatial general equilibrium model, I show that an important determinant of the importance of trade in shaping the location of economic activity is the level of development as a country experiences reductions in international trade costs. The second chapter studies the role of change in the communication network in Norway on

Abstract:
This thesis consists of three chapters, examining the interrelation between human capital and country-level outcomes from different perspectives. Chapter 1, co-authored with Marta De Philippis, studies the contribution of parental influence to cross-country gaps in human capital performance. We compare the school performance of second-generation immigrants from different nationalities but educated in the same school, and find that those whose parents come from high-scoring countries in international standardized tests do better than their peers. The gap is larger when parents have little educa
