Abstract:
This paper studies algorithmic decision-making under human strategic behavior, where a decision-maker uses an algorithm to make decisions about human agents, and the latter with information about the algorithm may exert effort strategically and improve to receive favorable decisions. Unlike prior works that assume agents benefit from their efforts immediately, we consider realistic scenarios where the impacts of these efforts are persistent and agents benefit from efforts by making improvements gradually. We first develop a dynamic model to characterize persistent improvements and based on thi

Abstract:
In multi-level decision making (DM) approaches, the final decision is reached by going through a finite number of DM levels. Usually, in each level, a raw decision is produced first and then a suitable decision fusion technique is employed to merge the lower level decisions with the raw decision in the construction of the final decision of the present level. The basic difficulty in these approaches is the determination of how the consecutive levels should interact with each other. In this thesis, two different multi-level DM models have been proposed.

This dissertation presents essays on the relationship between judgment and de- cision making and public policy, with a focus on gender diversity. The gender difference in career advancement is the likely result both of decisions made on the supply side (i.e. female and male job candidates) as well as decisions on the demand side (i.e. evaluators). These essays explore the behavioral foundations of decision making processes on both sides, and also make recommendations on how to use these behavioral insights to improve decisions, as well as increase gender diversity.

Behavioral biases often lead to suboptimal decisions, a vulnerability that extends to policymakers who operate under conditions of fatigue, stress, and time constraints and with significant implications for public welfare.

Thus, enhancing the quality of policy decision-making is crucial, and evidence suggests that targeted training can boost job performance among policymakers.

Abstract:
Approximately 90% of agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa is rainfed, making it highly vulnerable to impacts of climate change and variability, with significant implications for agrarian communities. If effectively implemented, the African Union's Framework for Irrigation Development and Agricultural Water Management (IDAWM) has the potential to catalyse food systems transformation by fostering systems integration, mitigating environmental trade-offs and enhancing climate change adaptation and mitigation. Addressing and balancing trade-offs that may arise from irrigation expansion - such as reduc

Abstract:
Investments in transportation have the potential to significantly affect public health outcomes. Decisions to build highways, transit, or bikeways, for example, influence how residents and visitors move around a metropolitan area. Personal travel habits and proximity to transportation infrastructure play a role in how likely people are to be physically active or be exposed to dangerous traffic and toxic pollution. For this study, the research team reviewed the literature that links transportation infrastructure, the surrounding built environment context, and public health outcomes such as chro

Full text
Abstract:
The new renewable sources, such as sun or wind, show a specific set of characteristics such as geographical and temporal variability that challenge their integration into traditional energy systems to supply electricity. These aspects have a great impact in the operation of electricity systems that go from the need for generation reserve in the system in order to guarantee operational reliability to possible changes in network and electricity infrastructure planning. The report is structured as follows: Section 1 provides an overview of renewables in Latin America; Section 2 includes a concept

Abstract:
In modern public management the use of statistics for decision making is essential. Evidence-based policy, as well as results-based public management, cannot operate effectively without reliable and timely data. Likewise, without more specialized, quality statistics, the achievement of development objectives cannot be appropriately monitored, or the effectiveness of development plans evaluated. In the specific context of Belize, the importance of a well-functioning statistical system is essential to the process of economic and social development of the country. Yet, according to the evidence c
