    Content: This paper documents the positive link between the noncognitive skills of women farmers and the adoption of a cash crop. The context is Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world, where the majority of rural households practice subsistence farming. The analysis finds that a one standard deviation increase in noncognitive ability related to perseverance is associated with a five percentage point (or 33 percent) increase in the probability of adoption of the main cash crop. This link is not explained by differences across women in education and cognitive skills. It is also not explained by the fact that women with higher noncognitive ability tend to be married to husbands of higher noncognitive ability and education. The effect of female noncognitive skills on adoption is concentrated in patrilocal communities, where women face greater adversity and thus where it would be expected that the returns to such skills would be highest. One main channel through which noncognitive skills seem to work is through the use of productive inputs, including higher levels of labor, fertilizer, and agricultural advice services

    Note: Ein Ansatz zur Benutzerqualifizierung liegt darin, dem Benutzer ein möglichst breites Unterstützungsspektrum innerhalb von Anwendungssoftware zur Verfügung zu stellen. Hierzu wurde ein generisches Modell erarbeitet, mit dem versucht wird, zwei zentrale Probleme zu lösen: Die Integration einer weitestgehenden Benutzerunterstützung von der klassischen Hilfe bis hin zum Anbieten interaktiver kontext-sensitiver Lemeinheiten, direkt und unteilbar verbunden mit der Applikation und die Möglichkeit, Software auf unterschiedliche Arbeitsprozesse abzustimmen. Dies bedeutet, daß aus dem Spektrum der Gesamtfunktionalität jeweils nur ein dem Arbeitsprozess zugeordneter Ausschnitt an Funktionalität dem Benutzer zur Verfügung gestellt wird. 5 Literatur Chin D N (1989) KNOME: Modeling What the User Knows in UC.

    Content: Is there a mindset gap holding women back in business? Can entrepreneurship training instill a set of attitudes, behaviors, and strategies that are thought to underpin success in business such as motivation, perseverance, and self-confidence? This study conducted two randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effect of mindset-oriented business trainings on the performance of women-owned micro and small enterprises in Ethiopia. The trainings were underpinned by psychology with a mission to foster self-esteem and entrepreneurial spirit. Despite a similar approach, however, the quality of delivery seemed to matter as impacts of the trainings on business performance were mixed. A key channel for an impact on profits is if the training can actually effectuate the mindset change, with only one training transferring higher levels of entrepreneurial self-efficacy, personal initiative, and entrepreneurial locus of control to the women, relative to a control group. The study finds suggestive evidence that psychological skills and mindset are better inspired by a trainer who previously owned a business themselves and therefore may have a better understanding of the entrepreneurs' specific challenges. The study concludes that psychological skills are important for women's business success, and these skills can indeed be transferred using training, assuming a shared identity match between trainer and student. Service delivery appears to be critical for inculcating these important skills

    Series Statement: Hart studies in competition law volume 6
    Content: General introduction -- The decentralisation of EU competition law -- The economics of decentralisation -- Uncovering EU sanctioning principles -- The development of domestic sanctioning powers -- Economies and diseconomies in the division of sanctioning competencies -- General conclusions.
    Content: In the early decades of European integration the enforcement of EU competition law was highly centralised. Virtually all enforcement actions under Articles 101 and 102 TFEU were initiated by the European Commission. More recently the enforcement of EU competition law has become less centralised - many would say even decentralised. In 2004, essentially in an effort to increase enforcement capacity in the wake of EU enlargement, the involvement of Member State competition authorities was significantly reinforced by national authorities being given power to pursue infringements of EU competition law largely on the basis of their domestic enforcement regimes. This combination of decentralisation and enforcement autonomy raises questions about the relationship between EU law and national law, as well as about the costs of enforcement. This new book links these questions by analysing how competences in the area of sanctions are distributed between EU and national law, and how this influences the costs of enforcement. The author's conclusions, which highlight the economic implications of the choices made by competition authorities, courts and legislators, will be of use to all the above in further developing EU competition policy. The PhD thesis on which this book is based was declared runner-up in the 2013 Concurrences Awards
