Abstract:

The paper examines effects of individual characteristics, household characteristics and impact of having a child in a household on usage of formal savings services in Malawi. The result of the paper suggests that individuals with certain characteristics do increase their chance of having at least one formal savings account and total amount in the saving account. Typically, males and household head have positive correlation. In addition, having a stable income occupation increases individuals’ usage of formal savings services. Lastly, there is negative effect on formal savings account if an ind

Abstract:

This project was a step forward in developing a reliable, economical and accurate real-time warning system for rainfall-induced individual landslides based on physical-based, optimised slope monitoring and statistical and numerical approaches. The physical-based system involved experimental and numerical analyses in implementing a low-cost slope monitoring system in critical slopes in North Maleny, evaluating parameters of tilt angle (and tilt rate), the volumetric water content of soil and rainfall. The thesis further investigated auxiliary landslide prediction approaches, including rainfall

Abstract:

This thesis aims to answer questions on heterogeneity found in individual decision making owing to differences in preferences and motives. In the first chapter I examine how individual's gender affects bargaining behaviour in an Ultimatum Game. I use a method of priming to make differences in gender roles salient. The results show that due to the prime, both men and women responder ask for a lower minimum acceptable offer when they are partnered with a male proposer, after controlling for personality traits, intelligence and risk preferences. Regardless of their gender, the prime influences be

This thesis is a collection of studies about the link between individual and group characteristics and economic outcomes. The firstt chapter investigates the link between declared trusting attitudes and trust choices in an infinitely repeated trust game after controlling for subjective beliefs. It is found that intrinsic trust influences the probability of trusting in a trust game. Moreover, intrinsic trust seems to operate through the fact that more trusting individuals are more likely to forgive or offer the bene t of doubt to others and show trust even after a disappointing outcome.

Thesis advisor: Donnah Canavan<br>This study examines the relationship between shyness/social phobia and other personality traits, as manifested in college students. Very few studies have compared shyness and social phobia, and even fewer have contrasted them. However, we believe that there are several important differences between the two. Mainly, one hypothesis is that social phobics long to be more extroverted and, thus, are more conflicted in many aspects of their personalities. Moreover, very few studies have found a conclusive link between shyness or social phobia and self-esteem. One of

Abstract:

Narcissism refers to persistent feelings of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy (American Psychiatric Association 2013). The literature has found narcissism to be associated with individuals making decisions for a firm that fulfill their egos rather than maximize firm value. The literature in psychology, however, suggests that when firms face financial distress, narcissism could be a desirable trait in an individual, enabling the CEO to take the necessary risks and make the necessary decisions for the firm to recover.

To reduce the acoustic mismatch, predictive modeling based on spectral speech transformation is applied. Follow- ing this approach, a model suitable for a target s

Early life experiences impose long lasting effects on health and wellbeing. The early development of eating habits and flavour preferences associated with a healthy diet can help to extend and improve the quality of life. A variety of factors contribute to this process and the resulting early feeding choices have an impact on parents and infants alike. Initially, nutritional factors provide the key influence, with maternal diet affecting the flavour profile of amniotic fluid and breast milk. In doing so, these factors shape the type of flavours recognised as “familiar” and “safe” by the infant
