Canadian sustainability indicators (dimou, upward) (final v3.3)Antony Upward
A presentation, with embedded excel, reviewing Accounting Standards which could replace GDP - for example Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) and Gross National Happiness (GNH).
For my York University / Schulich School of Business Graduate Degree in Environmental Studies / Graduate Diploma in Business and the Environment.
I note SlideShare doesn't do a very good job of the PowerPoint animations which makes some of the slides more comprehensible - so suggest you download it. Also allows you to see the speakers notes on many of the slides as well as an embedded excel sheet with lots more details of each of the possible alternatives to GDP.

Irrelevant at Best: Celebrity Endorsements and Voter Mobilization in the Run-...Thorsten Faas
Celebrity Endorsements are a standard feature of modern election campaigns. Mostly used to boost turnout, we test to what extent such endorsed campaigns are effective. Our experimental findings indicate that they are irrelevant at best.
Recent European Elections were plagued by a notoriously low turnout, throughout Europe, but especially in Germany. In 2004, only 43 per cent of eligible voters actually turned out to vote there – the lowest turnout ever reported in a nationwide German election. A strategy to boost turnout in the 2009 European election (employed – among others – by the European Parliament) was the endorsement of turnout by celebrities. Some scattered findings from the U.S. suggest that such endorsed GOTV-campaigns have the potential to mobilize voters, but the designs usually employed is far from optimal and hence, the issue of the effectiveness of such campaigns (and their underlying mechanisms) is far from settled. Making use of design combining an experimental element with a three-wave panel design (based on an online access panel), we put the effectiveness of endorsed GOTV-campaign to a rigorous test (employing a total of eight experimental conditions) – and we find, that they are irrelevant at best. In one case (based on a “polarizing” celebrity), we even find some detrimental effects on turnout. Hence, GOTV-campaigns endorsed by celebrities are by no means a perfect solution to boost turnout.
Fragestellungen: Nehmen die Bürger die Wirtschaftslage ihres Bundeslandes separat wahr? Was sind die Folgen davon für die Zufriedenheit mit der Bundes- und Landesregierung?
Im Rahmen des Seminars “Wahlen und Wahlkampagnen in der Kommune” (Beschreibung: “Alle reden vom Superwahljahr 2009 und meinen zumeist nur die Bundestags- und Europawahl. Aber es stehen auch wichtige Kommunalwahlen an.”) habe ich heute einen Vortrag mit dem Titel “Wer wählt wen? Kommunales Wahlverhalten am Beispiel einer Großstadt” gehalten. Die Ergebnisse basierten zum größten Teil auf der Studie “Kommunale Wahlbeteiligung. Eine Fallstudie anlässlich der Kommunalwahl 2004 in Nordrhein-Westfalen”, die Rüdiger Schmitt-Beck und ich anlässlich der Kommunalwahl 2004 in Duisburg durchgeführt haben.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

2. Attributions of Responsibility
1
• Important …
– … from an individual’s point of view
– … but also from the point of view of the political system as a
whole
• Studying such attributions – their determinants, but also their effects
– as an important task for political science
• However, this task has not been extensively met for a long time
• Only recently have attributions of responsibility become a matter of
interest, e.g. in the field of economic voting
3. Determinants of Attributions of Responsibility
2
• ÊDefensive attributions“
• ÊMorselizing“
• ÊContextualization“
• Political sophistication, partisan rationalizations and
cultural predispositions
• Campaigns
4. Data

• Rolling Cross-Section Survey covering the final 41 days of
the 2005 German Federal Election campaign (n=3,583)
• Items:
– “What do you think, to what extent is the ruling
government responsible for the development of this
economic situation: to a large extent, to some extent or
not at all?”
– Êthis economic situation“ refers to
• Individual’s own economic situation
• Situation of the national economy

• Do attributions of responsibilities moderate effects of
economic perceptions (pertaining to one’s own economic
situation) on feeling thermometers for Germany’s major
parties?
