Meta-Analysis in Marketing when Studies Contain Multiple Measurements

Most meta-analyses in marketing contain studies which themselves contain multiple measurements of the focal effect. This paper compares alternative procedures to deal with multiple measurements through the analysis of synthetic data sets in a Monte Carlo study and a re-analysis of a published marketing data set. We show that the choice of procedure to deal with multiple measurements is by no means trivial and that it has implications for the results and for the validity of the generalizations derived from meta-analyses. Procedures that use the complete set of measurements outperform procedures that represent each study by a single value. The commonly used method of treating all measurements as independent performs reasonably well but is not preferable. We show that the optimal procedure to account for multiple measurements in meta-analysis explicitly deals with the nested error structure, i.e., at the measurement level and at the study level, which has not been practiced before in marketing meta-analyses.

银行监管规则与会计准则协调面临的挑战

强化会计准则与银行监管规则的相互协调不仅有助于提高会计准则的科学性,而且有利于维护全球金融稳定。针对当前两者在协调方面仍然存在的现实困难,该文建议,应继续推进国际会计准则理事会（IASB）的治理结构改革;会计准则制定机构应加快准则趋同步伐,完善准则制定程序;银行监管机构应积极参与概念框架和会计准则的研究制定,并增强与会计准则协调的主动性。     

高速钢共晶碳化物不均匀度定量测定的误差

分析了采用图像分析仪定量测定钼系高速钢共晶碳化物的不均匀度的精度和偏差,探讨了引起偏差的原因。结果表明：由于国家标准高速钢共晶碳化物不均匀度图片在1~2级之间,存在碳化物条带从无到有的突变,采用任何单一特征参数来定量测定其不均匀度,相关系数都不高、测定偏差较大;只有综合考虑碳化物的突变和碳化物的偏聚程度这两种因素之后,才能得到相关系数高、测定偏差小的正确结果。     

Choice of measurement basis and discretionary valuation of real estate: Evidence from Dutch Social Housing Associations

In this study, I examine choice of measurement basis and managerial discretion in accounting for real estate, where I compare measurement on the basis of discounted cash flow (DCF) with measurement based on historical cost (HC). I exploit unique data in the setting of social housing associations (SHAs) in the Netherlands, using data from a supervisory agency which makes an independent assessment of the value of real estate based on comparable assumptions across all SHAs, allowing for a comparison with reported carrying amounts. In line with prior literature, I find that leverage is positively associated with using DCF as measurement basis. In addition, I find evidence that both in case of DCF and HC measurement, carrying amounts increase with leverage, suggesting opportunistic use of managerial discretion in measuring assets. While the degree of opportunism does not differ on average, I find that opportunistic measurement increases as entities switch from HC to DCF measurement. Finally, detailed data on the supervisor’s adjustments allow to investigate the assumptions SHAs use to adjust reported DCF carrying amounts. SHAs mostly use the timing of cash flows, the expected sales revenue, parameters such as inflation and the expected rent increases, and the assumed lifespan of real estate.     

The making of imperfect indicators for biodiversity: A case study of UK biodiversity performance measurement

This paper seeks to understand the process by which biodiversity performance indicators can be developed. In doing so, this paper examines how biodiversity performance measurements are inherently imperfect and reflects on the implications of that imperfectness. Using document analysis and semi-structured interviews, this research outlines the case of the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and their work in developing biodiversity indicators. Based on the concept of imperfect measurements, this paper outlines the conditions under which imperfect biodiversity indicators can be productive measurements leading to fertile debate and constant improvements, rather than flawed measurements that actors ‘make do’ with. This paper concludes the biodiversity indicators construction process requires a collaboration between a broad set of diverse organisations, including NGOs and research centres. Lastly, this paper outlines the need for ongoing and rigorous review of adopted measurements to reduce the potentially harmful nature of imperfect biodiversity performance measurement.
