List of MPhil theses of the cohorts 2010 and 2011 311 v Introduction The Tinbergen Institute Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Economics program is the joint program in economics, econometrics and finance of Erasmus University Rotterdam, University of Amsterdam and VU University Amsterdam. It is organized by and at Tinbergen Institute (TI), the graduate school and research institute in economics of these three universities. Tinbergen Institute was formally accredited as a research school (in Dutch: onderzoeksschool) by the KNAW in 1996, 2001, 2006 and 2010. The TI MPhil program was accredited by the NVAO in 2003 and 2009. In 2011 TI was awarded the NWO Graduate Program block grant. Tinbergen Institute’s activities are fully dedicated to enhancing research and graduate training at the three participating economics faculties, but are organized at arm’s length from these faculties. Tinbergen Institute has its own Board, directors and staff, as well as its own Examination Board, Educational Board and Admission Board. Tinbergen Institute’s Board selects faculty members, based on their academic merit, to be involved in the Institute as research fellows. TI’s Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) draws up the curriculum of the TI research masters’ program. Tinbergen Institute has its own offices and classrooms in Rotterdam and Amsterdam, and dedicated budgets for seminars, conferences, MPhil scholarships and lecturer compensation. An organization chart of the governance of TI’s educational program is given below. For its quality assurance, TI is subject to the rules and regulations of Erasmus University. This includes regular midterm reviews of the research masters’ program. The most recent midterm review dates from 2011. The MPhil in Economics primarily aims to prepare students for PhD research in economics, econometrics and finance. To this end, it attracts and selects students from the international pool of potential PhD students in economics, and offers them two years of PhD-level coursework and research training. The program provides students with ample opportunity to explore the wide variety of research groups and researchers in the three faculties participating in Tinbergen Institute before they settle down for MPhil thesis research. At the faculties, PhD positions are allocated to the graduates of the TI MPhil program; this allows graduates, under certain limitations, to transfer to a PhD position with a supervisor of their choice. These limitations include the student’s performance (a minimum grade for the MPhil thesis), financial constraints of the faculties and the distribution of PhD positions over research groups and supervisors within the faculties. The subsequent pages of this report will reflect upon the TI MPhil program in line with the NVAO assessment framework for the limited program assessment for research masters’ programs (November 2011). Chapter 1 explicates the intended learning outcomes of the TI program. 1 Chapter 2 elaborates upon how the TI MPhil program enables the students to accomplish the learning outcomes. This chapter also summarizes how students and lecturers are selected and how the program is embedded in an excellent research environment where students have ample opportunities to attend seminars, workshops and conferences. Chapter 3 reflects upon the achieved learning outcomes, reporting on how the MPhil theses are valued in the discipline, and how the MPhil graduates perform in the PhD track. Chapter 4 discusses how Tinbergen Institute has responded to the outcomes of the KNAW/NVAO assessment of 2009 and of the mid-term review of 2011. Attention is also given to a survey we held among TI MPhil graduates in

Coverpicture: View on Delft, painted by Daniel Vosmaer, Erfgoed Delft. Delft’s history revisited Author: Martijn van Egdom Student id: 1174444 Email: [email protected] Abstract While at one side there is an ever increasing movement within cultural heritage organizations to offer public access to their collection-data using the Web, on the other the Semantic Web, fueled by ongoing research, is growing up to be a mature and successful addition to the Web. Nowadays, these two sides are join- ing forces, combining the large collections of mostly public data of the cultural heritage institutions with the revolutionary methods and techniques developed by the Semantic Web researchers. This thesis is the result of this rather symbiotic collaboration, providing mul- tiple contributions for both the side of the cultural heritage institutions as well as the side of the Semantic Web researchers. Of special note are: the descrip- tion of search techniques currently applied by cultural heritage organizations on their published data; the discussion of a generic method to transform legacy data to linked data, including a detailed analysis of each step of the process; and the development of a prototype of a faceted browser which utilizes the transformed data.

  • Experimental Practices in Economics: a Methodological Challenge for Psychologists?

    Experimental Practices in Economics: a Methodological Challenge for Psychologists?

    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2001) 24, 383–451 Printed in the United States of America Experimental practices in economics: A methodological challenge for psychologists? Ralph Hertwig Center for Adaptive Behavior and Cognition, Max Planck Institute for Human Development, 14195 Berlin, Germany. [email protected] Andreas Ortmann Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education, Charles University, and Economics Institute, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, 111 21 Prague 1, Czech Republic. [email protected] Abstract: This target article is concerned with the implications of the surprisingly different experimental practices in economics and in areas of psychology relevant to both economists and psychologists, such as behavioral decision making. We consider four features of ex- perimentation in economics, namely, script enactment, repeated trials, performance-based monetary payments, and the proscription against deception, and compare them to experimental practices in psychology, primarily in the area of behavioral decision making. Whereas economists bring a precisely defined “script” to experiments for participants to enact, psychologists often do not provide such a script, leaving participants to infer what choices the situation affords. By often using repeated experimental trials, economists allow participants to learn about the task and the environment; psychologists typically do not. Economists generally pay participants on the ba- sis of clearly defined performance criteria; psychologists usually pay a flat fee or grant a fixed amount of course credit. Economists vir- tually never deceive participants; psychologists, especially in some areas of inquiry, often do. We argue that experimental standards in economics are regulatory in that they allow for little variation between the experimental practices of individual researchers.

    Course Handout

    Using the Dutch Website Wiewaswie Fritz Juengling, PhD, AG® [email protected] Wiewaswie is a free, collective database drawn from numerous provincial, regional, and city archives in the Netherlands and some of its former territories; it includes information about 85 million persons from many types of records. The most important record types for beginning researchers include baptism, birth, marriage, death, and burial records. These records cover the period from the 17th to the 20th centuries. However, not all records from this period are included. A critical date for Dutch research is 1811, when civil registration was imposed on the Netherlands by the French. Before that time, church records were the primary source of records, although a few areas had already begun civil registration. Wiewaswie is available only in Dutch; there is no English interface. Therefore, researchers must know some Dutch terms. (See the wordlist at the end of this handout.) Dutch Names Dutch names are characterized by a wide variety of items that might be unfamiliar to some researchers. One of the most common is an additional element called a tussenvoegsel (or prefix). For example, in the name Dick Van Dyke, ”van” is the tussenvoegsel. When searching in Dutch websites, be aware that there is a separate search box for the tussenvoegsel in addition to the given name and surname search boxes. The Dutch also sometimes used a patronym, sometimes as a last name, such as in Jan Willems, and sometimes as a middle name, as in Jan Willems Zijlstra. (In these examples, Willems comes from Jan’s father’s name—Willem.) Keep in mind that not everyone had a tussenvoegsel or patronym.

Its inquiries are broadly defined, but concentrate on the evolution- ary, social, historical, and institutional contexts of human development, as well as examining it from life-span and life-course perspectives. The disci- plines of education, psychology, and sociology reflect the current directors’ backgrounds, but the Institute’s scholarly spectrum is enriched by the work of colleagues from such fields as mathematics, economics, computer sci- ence, evolutionary biology, and the humanities. The Institute is one of about 80 research facilities financed by the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V.), the core support for which is pro- vided by the Federal Republic of Germany and its 16 states.

    Going Dutch Finding Families in Online Records of the Netherlands Daniel R

    Going Dutch Finding Families in Online Records of the Netherlands Daniel R. Jones, MS, AG® FamilySearch The majority of post-1811 records for the Netherlands have now been indexed; and these indexes are available in multiple places online. Not all records for the Netherlands are indexed Not all indexes are the same; you should consider looking at each website. A note on Dutch names: There are four possible elements: given name, patronymic, tussenvoegsel, and surname. A patronymic is a sort of middle name taken from the father’s given name (i.e. children of Jan would have a patronym of Janse). A tussenvoegsel is an element that is not part of the surname, but is a descriptive element attached to the surname. Example: Jan van Dijk. The tussenvoegsel is van, mean of (literally, Jan of the dike). In the telephone book, Jan van Dijk would be listed under D rather than V. The van is attached to the surname and is lower case. Other tussenvoegsels include de, het, van de, and others. Further reading: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Netherlands_Names,_Personal RECORD TYPES There are two main record types in the Netherlands: Church Records (depending on location, late 1500s to 1811) Church records form the earliest nearly complete listing of vital events (baptism, marriage, and some burial) that occurred in a church. The building block of jurisdictions in the Netherlands is by church parish. These records are handwritten and may be in Dutch or Latin. Early records can be difficult to read. Records were kept after 1811, but most digitally available records and indexes only go to 1811, as their use pales in comparison to civil registration records.

    Annual Research Report 2018

    Annual Research report 2018 Amsterdam School of Economics PREFACE The 2018 annual research report of the Amsterdam School of Economics (ASE) documents the organisation, activities and results of its research institute ASE-RI. The funding of the institute provides the financial means for its staff members to write scientific papers and dissertations, attend and organise international workshops and conferences and supervise PhD students. The ambition of the ASE-RI is for the Amsterdam School of Economics to become a European top 10 Economics department based on its research output in Micro-Economics, Macro-Economics and Quantitative Economics. The research time allocation of the members of ASE-RI is made in line with this ambition. It is therefore aligned with the Research Fellow criteria of the Tinbergen Institute. Newly recruited junior faculty start out as tenure-track assistant professors. The criteria for receiving tenure parallel those for becoming a Tinbergen Institute research fellow. The Amsterdam School of Economics and therefore also ASE-RI pride themselves with their large number of highly qualified successful researchers whose research is documented in this yearly report.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis examines the historical formation and contemporary circulation of competing variants of Turkish Cypriot nationalisms as they are realised in different Turkish Cypriot radio news outlets. Unlike North Atlantic models of journalism, these media are not governed by the values of neutrality nor of a fourth estate role, being closely aligned to political interests. Presently, there is an ideological struggle between two versions of Turkish Cypriot nationalism in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). Turkish nationalism’ se es TRNC as part of a pan-Turkish nation. Within this ideology, TRNC’s future is linked to Turkey and independent of the Republic of Cyprus. ‘Pro-federation’ nationalism sees TRNC as part of an inclusive Cypriot identity.
