Meanwhile, those with average ability (50th percentile IQ) exhibited the second strongest impact, and followed by the non-intellectual class (5th percentile IQ). In addition, the researchers discovered that only the intellectual class was significant for technological progress. As such, this article re-analysed the dataset employed in prior study via robust regression. As a result, after eliminating several outliers, the levels of IQ for the intellectual class and the average ability group displayed equal impacts on economic growth, and the impacts were larger than that of non-intellectual. Furthermore, the IQ of the average ability group was significant for technological achievement, although not as strong as the intellectual class. Besides, the number of professional researchers employed in the research and development (R&D) sector did not reflect similar paramount effects as the impact of the average ability IQ in generating technological development. Thus, based on the conclusions drawn, this study suggests that the R&D sector should employ professionals who possess not only high academic qualifications, but also exceptional levels of cognitive skills, especially to spark new innovations.

On the basis of his Theory of Moral Sentiments and other writings, it becomes clear that Smith views education, conceived broadly to include both the learning of ‘wisdom’ and ‘moral sentiments’, as central to a prosperous or flourishing society. Education, in Smith’s view, is not restricted to formal institutions of education but also includes social learning—that between parents and children, and the learning arising from friendships. For Smith, education is a social process. Smith also discusses the important role of wonder and surprise in the process of education. The provision of education, as outlined in his Wealth of Nations, largely supports the public provision of education with partial contributions from the enrolled students. Smith favoured education for all because he believed that it would offset the harmful effects of division of labour on the workers, and therefore, education had to be accessible to the workers. The essay concludes by reiterating Smith’s position that education for all is necessary to create a prosperous society.

This is an approach used by psychoanalysts and psychiatrists to investigate human minds. The investigation is facilitated by interdisciplinary theories, namely (a) bounded rationality theory which differentiates intuition and reasoning, (b) prospect theory which explains framing and valuation and (c) theory of mind which divides behavioural risks into cognitive heuristics and affective biases. These theories collectively explain the origin of irrational behaviours. Additionally, (d) the ABC (Activating–Beliefs–Consequences) model is also used to interpret the causes and effects of irrational behaviours on investors and market behaviour. Last theory, (e) the dual system model of preference is used to conceptualize the bounded human mind that contains both rational and irrational elements. The proposed theoretical framework provides the theoretical foundation of investors’ irrational origin, forces, causes as well as their systematic effects on investors, asset prices and stock market behaviours dynamism. The validity of the theoretical framework is supported by empirical test using a representative of emerging stock market data and behavioural risk proxies.","PeriodicalId":42664,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interdisciplinary Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0260107917697504","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47737485","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}

A simple model is created to describe the interview process and draw some conclusion as to why people might misreport their true status despite given the assurance of institutional and statistical confidentiality. By looking at the relationship between firm-specific reticence and other firm-specific and industry-location-specific variables, it is found that (mis)trust (proxied by the proportion of contracts arranged before delivery) is a significant predictor of reticence. Underreporting does not seem to be significantly related to a misunderstanding of the procedure, education, profit levels or guilt. This seems to suggest that firms which are more cautious in their business dealings are also more cautious with the randomized response (RR) technique. In such cases, weighted estimates of the prevalence of sensitive traits might be derived without the use of the RR technique but through the use of variables relating to the nature of firm-level contracts. Moreover, more accurate data on sensitive topics can be extracted from large homogeneous populations.

To this end, the article proceeds by providing a series of terminological definitions that are useful to properly classify these phenomena and then it lists the main methodologies used for their quantification. Although such methods and their strengths and weaknesses are well known in economic studies, it is useful to recall them in order to underline some questions connected with the development of a model aimed at describing the approach to the shadow economy and tax evasion from a microeconomic perspective. The first question is if the underground economy can exist in absence of tax evasion and, in that case, which are the factors that allow it. A related question is how is it possible from a microeconomic perspective to estimate in percentage the overall disadvantage (fiscal and non-fiscal) deriving from the total declaration of economic activities to public authorities compared to firms that work in the underground economy? On this matter, reference to case law and regulatory measures, performed in order to create an economic-juridical parallel on the shadow economy and tax evasion, has been made with regard to the Italian legal system, so as to fit the mathematical model as much as possible to observed facts.
