Neighborhood Income Distribution Analysispolicy map

Results are presented showing the percentage of tracts that fall into each concentration category by state, with some states having over 20% of tracts with low incomes and high concentration.

Face to face - Integrating facial coding and survey responsesKantar
This document discusses integrating facial expression analysis with survey tools to better understand emotional responses to advertising. It summarizes:
1) Facial coding technology from Affectiva enables automatically coding facial reactions to marketing stimuli for emotional and cognitive states like enjoyment, confusion, and attention without relying on verbal reports.
2) The system works by identifying panelists' facial features, recognizing expressions, aggregating and analyzing emotions experienced as they view ads as part of an online interview.
3) Integrating these "funky data" insights with standard survey responses provides a more holistic understanding of what drives reactions, but challenges remain to ensure the approach is responsible, reliable and can be repeated by others.

While some advertising can transfer across borders, cultural and market differences make transference difficult. According to an analysis of over 6,000 ads, on average only 52% of ads transferred successfully to other markets. Africa in particular shows low transference at 43% due to strong cultural variations within the continent. Key factors that impact an ad's ability to travel include the category's development stage, the brand's meaning and recognition in different markets, differences in media environments and advertising norms, and cultural response to messaging. A checklist is suggested to evaluate these factors when considering transferring ads between markets.

Redistributive fairness is the concept that inequality is inherently unfair and it is fair to equalize rewards. Meritocratic fairness means fairness is matching reward to merit, and forced equality is inherently unfair. The real question is not whether fairness matters, which it does, but which definition - redistributive or meritocratic fairness - is correct for guiding public policy.

Combustion requires three elements: a fuel, oxygen, and heat. During combustion, oxygen combines with the fuel through a process called oxidation where the elements chemically rearrange and release heat and light. Oxidation can also occur without combustion through slower reactions like iron rusting. The end products of combustion are exhaust as the oxygen and fuel have chemically combined.

Attitude Towards Risk-Risk Lover, Risk Nuetral, Risk AverterJaheer Mukthar
- There are three types of attitudes towards risk: risk averse, risk seeking, and risk neutral.
- Risk averse individuals prefer less risk and have diminishing marginal utility of money. Risk seeking individuals prefer more risk and have increasing marginal utility of money. Risk neutral individuals are indifferent to risk as their marginal utility remains constant.
- Whether an individual chooses a risky or certain option depends on if the expected utility of the risky option is greater than the utility of the certain option, given their individual risk preferences and utility curves.
