    Causal Inference for Statistics, Social, and Biomedical Sciences
    Most questions in social and biomedical sciences are causal in nature: what would happen to individuals, or to groups, if part of their environment were changed? In this groundbreaking text, two world-renowned experts present statistical methods for studying such questions. This book starts with the notion of potential outcomes, each corresponding to the outcome that would be realized if a subject were exposed to a particular treatment or regime. In this approach, causal effects are comparisons of such potential outcomes. The fundamental problem of causal inference is that we can only observe one of the potential outcomes for a particular subject. The authors discuss how randomized experiments allow us to assess causal effects and then turn to observational studies. They lay out the assumptions needed for causal inference and describe the leading analysis methods, including matching, propensity-score methods, and instrumental variables. Many detailed applications are included, with special focus on practical aspects for the empirical researcher.

    The Human Person
    A philosophical work that addresses the validity of the question: What is it for the human being to be an animal, and for this animal to be a spirit? Braine argues that the perspectives of materialism and dualism are different casts of the same flawed mold and offers a holistic alternative. Braine further argues that perception is inseparable from behavior and that the human propensity to produce language separates us from other animals. Culminating in a discussion of the meaning of death, this is rich and passionate philosophical argument for the human being as animal and soul. David Braine (1940-2017) was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford. From 1965-89 he was a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen He was awarded a Gifford Fellowship from 1982-1988. Following complications after his spinal injury of 1977, he took medical retirement in 1989, becoming Honorary Lecturer 1989-2002, and Honorary Research Fellow in 2002.

    A Companion to Javier Marías
    This book provides the most comprehensive study to date of the full range of Marías' writing, including discussion and analysis of his literary and intellectual formation, his development as a novelist and short story writer, andhis unique perspective offered in nearly twenty-five years of newspaper columns on topics ranging from religion to football. Above all, Marías is examined as a writer of fictions. As a translator of several canonical works from English to Spanish, Marías came to appreciate the preciseness of words as well as their ambiguity, their capacity to represent as well as their propensity to distort. The author examines Marías's constant awareness of how languagecan be used to construct stories as the foundation for engaging the world as well as for imagining it. The nature of Marías's storytelling, and the way in which he imagines, form the principal focus of this Companion. David K. Herzberger is Professor and Chair of the Department of Hispanic Studies at the University of California, Riverside.

    The Killing of Monday Brown , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
    When Monday Brown disappears and circumstances point to murder, few people in Billings, Montana, are surprised or think it undeserved.

Wolf's family comes to private investigator Phoebe Siegel for help. But she turns them down - until the body of a young Indian man shows up virtually in her backyard. Phoebe begins an investigation that takes her from the comfort and security of her world and onto the Crow reservation where the color of her skin makes her the enemy. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    BUDGETARY PRESSURE, ATTITUDINAL DYSFUNCTION AND INVOLVEMENT
    A number of criticisms characterize the budgetary procedure. On a technical level, the budget is criticized for its difficulties in translating strategy into operational decisions, in finalizing and facilitating the steering of the organization. On the human level, the subject of the book, the use of the budget to evaluate performance is said to lead to harmful individual behaviors such as budget slack and data manipulation.The differences between "agency theorists" and "behaviorists from the School of Human Relations" indicate that the issue has only been approached from the psychosocial aspect and has not focused much on the operational side.Two objectives therefore characterize this paper. The first is to determine the cognitive process by which budgetary evaluation influences the propensity to slack and the intention to manipulate data via the theories of reasoned action, planned behavior, and the technology acceptance model. The second is to analyze, through social exchanges, the role of organizational involvement on the direct and indirect links between budget pressure, slack and intention to manipulate data.

    Analyse der Bedingungen der Empfänger von Mikrokrediten nach der Kreditvergabe
    Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Auswirkungen der von Mikrofinanzinstituten gewährten Kredite auf die sozialen Bedingungen der Begünstigten zu analysieren. Sie verwendet Daten aus der Erhebung des Instituts für empirische Forschung in politischer Ökonomie, die 2009 im Departement Plateau durchgeführt wurde. Nach der Bestimmung des Profils der Kreditempfänger zeigte eine Analyse, dass die Ausrichtung auf die Armen fehlschlägt. Zur Messung der Auswirkungen von Krediten wurden zwei Methoden verwendet: die Propensity-Score- und die Matching-Methode. Bei der ersten Methode wird eine Vergleichsgruppe gebildet, die die Situation der begünstigten Haushalte vor der Kreditvergabe auf der Grundlage beobachtbarer Merkmale erfasst. Mit der zweiten Methode wird die Wirkung von Mikrokrediten auf die Begünstigten erfasst. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Auswirkungen der gewährten Kredite weitgehend unter den Erwartungen liegen. Insgesamt trägt der Zugang zu Mikrokrediten nicht zu einer Erhöhung des Einkommens bei, und seine Auswirkungen auf die Verbesserung des Lebensstandards bleiben ungewiss. Andererseits ermöglichen die Mikrokredite den Begünstigten (100 %), einkommensschaffende Maßnahmen zu entwickeln, auch wenn die meisten im informellen Sektor und bei den Ausgaben für Lebensmittel tätig sind.
