Shoppers were interviewed about their views and actions while engaging in the wayfinding process in large upmarket shopping malls.

Abstract:
Recently, several studies on information systems have applied the Uses and Gratifications theory to investigate individual use of social media, and have reported the role of different gratifications in predicting users’ behaviors. However, no attention was given to the influence of these gratifications on users’ emotional states (satisfaction and emotional commitment). To address this research gap, the current study integrates the Uses and Gratifications theory and the Stimulus-Organism-Response theory to provide a theoretical background for the impacts of gratification on consumers’ emotional

Abstract:
Numerical modeling of snowdrifting is a useful tool for assessing the impact of building design on operations and facility maintenance. Here we outline the theory for the SAGE-PEDD snowdrift model that has application for determining snowdrift accumulation around buildings. This model uses the SAGE computational fluid dynamics code to determine the flow field in the computational domain. A particle entrainment, dispersion, and deposition (PEDD) model is coupled to SAGE to simulate the movement and deposition of the snow within the computational domain. The report also outlines areas of future

Abstract:
We present a heuristic control theory model that describes smoking under restricted and unrestricted access to cigarettes. The model is based on the allostasis theory and uses a formal representation of a multiscale opponent process. The model simulates smoking behavior of an individual and produces both short-term (“loading up” after not smoking for a while) and long-term smoking patterns (e.g., gradual transition from a few cigarettes to one pack a day). By introducing a formal representation of withdrawal- and craving-like processes, the model produces gradual increases over time in withdra

This paper provides an account of how a ‘causal–process–tracing theory of change’ can be very helpful for programme prediction, planning and evaluation. The paper uses case studies as running examples to illustrate how this type of detailed theory of change would be built.

Abstract:
Earmarking taxes for specific expenditure categories is thought to be a crucial factor in the development of the early modern European fiscal states and remains a widespread yet fiscally rigid and often inefficient policy tool. I explore a decidedly political logic to the puzzling prevalence of tax earmarking. In this paper, I test an initial micro-behavioural condition for this political logic of earmarking: that general fund taxation may produce more political mobilisation than earmarking would, threatening the political survival of governments in lowcapacity states. I outline two interrelat

Abstract:
Understanding end-users’ sources, perceptions, uses, and values of weather information is critical to the Weather Enterprise’s efforts to deliver the most accurate, most timely, and most relevant weather information to all 330 Million Americans. In 2006, a survey of the general public of the United States explored a range of issues related to the communication, use, understanding, and value of weather forecasts. In 2022, this survey was reimplemented, revisting questions related to the sources, perceptions, uses, and value of weather information. To the maximum extent possible the exact same s

Abstract:
Bayesian predictive synthesis (BPS) provides a method for combining multiple predictive distributions based on agent/expert opinion analysis theory and encompasses a range of existing density forecast pooling methods. The key ingredient in BPS is a “synthesis” function. This is typically specified parametrically as a dynamic linear regression. In this paper, we develop a nonparametric treatment of the synthesis function using regression trees. We show the advantages of our tree-based approach in two macroeconomic forecasting applications. The first uses density forecasts for GDP growth from th

Abstract:
This paper makes a foundational methodological contribution to the analysis of big data for development studies. Big data has revolutionised the natural and applied sciences (and commerce). However, its use within development studies has been comparatively limited. This is despite a clear potential for devising innovative research methodologies to generate new academic knowledge, theory, and empirical insights of practical relevance to the broad field of international development and humanitarian policy, programming, and action. The paper uses the publicly available Global Database of Events,

Abstract:
Credit constraints are central to development economics theory. However, there is scant direct evidence that supports the existence of such constraints. Traditional tests observe how consumption changes after an unexpected income shock. Such changes can also result from myopic behavior or precautionary savings. This study uses a randomized control trial to explore the effects of enabling savings as a tool to smooth consumption, keeping income constant. The study focuses on community instructors in Mexico. Instructors have to deal with idiosyncratic shocks and shocks related to settling in to n
