This paper addresses this question by causally estimating average and heterogeneous effects of colonial-era Christian missions on schooling, fertility, and household wealth in Nigeria. Our identification strategy exploits discontinuities in mission stations around the borders of the Emirates of Northern Nigeria, where missionary activities were restricted by the colonial administration. We find that areas with greater historical missionary activities have higher levels of schooling, lower levels of fertility, and higher household wealth today. Consistent with the predictions of a simple model, the long-run effect of missions on current schooling is not found in areas with early access to government schools, and is larger for population subgroups---women and Muslims---that have historically suffered disadvantages in access to education. Importantly, we show that the restriction of missions from the Emirates of Northern Nigeria has led to a reversal of fortunes, wherein areas that were more prosperous and institutionally developed in the past are relatively poorer today.","PeriodicalId":158767,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Social Sciences Education (Topic)","volume":"306 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116227868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to investigate S&T indicators of Turkey in a comparative and more hitherto comprehensive study and to present a guiding reference for researchers and decision makers working on innovation and technology policies. This study was carried out using online databases such as those of the OECD, World Bank, Eurostat, and TÜİK considering the criteria used in the literature to measure countries’ R&D and innovation performances, and Turkey’s innovative performance is presented in comparison with the world’s by summarizations within the scope of the study. The results demonstrate that Turkey has made significant progress in the last 20 years in terms of R&D and innovation, but it is still far from reaching the indicators of developed countries. In particular, the increase in R&D and innovation performance has decreased due to the economic difficulties experienced in the world and in Turkey after 2012 and 2013. Based on the indicators evaluated in this study, some suggestions are given and prioritized to increase Turkey’s innovation performance.","PeriodicalId":158767,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Social Sciences Education (Topic)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131581032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The case raises classic issues about how a stabilized business can reignite its growth. It poses the questions: How does a business increase customers, increase spend per customer, create more reasons to buy, bundle complementary products or services, and expand selling locations with little capital outlays? Excerpt UVA-ENT-0142 Nov. 27, 2009 Hass Shoes Hass Shoes (Hass), an independent shoe retailer located in Charlottesville, Virginia, had been in business for more than 15 years. In its freestanding store, Hass primarily carried quality shoes for men and women and accessories such as socks and hosiery. The store provided parking for its customers and, to better serve its working customers, was open from 12:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday; 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, and 12:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. Conscious of its membership in the community, Hass contributed to local charities and belonged to several civic and business clubs. In 2008, Hass joined the National Shoe Retailers Association (NSRA) and had been using the association's benchmarking process to track products, services, expenses, and inventory turns of its current performance against past performance and other best practices. Hass now operated above NSRA averages. From its approximately 10,000 transactions per year, Hass grossed $ 800,000, averaging $ 80 per sale. The business turned its inventory 2.7 times a year and, after paying its owner's salary, netted a 7% before-tax profit. Hass did not try to compete on price but focused instead on service, selection of shoes, and maintaining a stock of hard-to-find sizes; however, Hass did not collect the usual data on individual customers such as number of visits, number of purchases, or the total average cost of purchases per year. Hass had weathered the 2007 recession well, but its business had basically been flat since 2001. Now the shoe retailer wanted to grow its revenue by at least 10% per year and increase its net margin. . . .","PeriodicalId":158767,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Social Sciences Education (Topic)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131891326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trying to find a research idea that could bring together various research subjects and experiences from all fields of economics and business, allowing students to work on a common agenda, looking also for a pragmatic aim, we decided to use previous research backgrounds and results to make the city in which they all studied a more innovative one. Considering the huge importance and amount of previous work on innovation, the societal challenges with which we are confronted, requiring an interdisciplinary perspective, as well as the need to transform our cities in better living and working places, the research question was raised: what does it take to innovate a city, from the people’s (human resource) perspective? It is a subject at the intersection of several fields and streams of research: inter and transdisciplinary research, public administration, innovative cities in terms of governance and e-government, civic participation and citizen science, researchers’ skills and competencies - a complex array of intertwined challenges. The research objective was twofold: to find out doctoral and postdoctoral students’ (generally addressed throughout the paper as researchers) perceptions about the intangible human innovation required for innovating a city and to find out their orientation towards interdisciplinarity. We conducted a semi-structured group interview with 18 researchers, to identify the most important traits of human innovation, followed by a survey with 30 researchers to measure perceptions towards interdisciplinary research.","PeriodicalId":158767,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Social Sciences Education (Topic)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125442732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
