Measuring giants and dwarfs: Assessing the quality of economists
Scientometrics, 1997Co-Authors: H. P. DalenAbstract:The emergence of ideas in economic science is dominated by scientists situated in the US. The brain drain to the US after de Second World War gave economic scientists who stayed behind a chance to obtain a monopoly position in determining the Development of Economics in their home country. These facts are illustrated by a citations study of economic science in the Netherlands. Especially one man, the Nobel laureate Jan Tinbergen, has left an indelible mark on the way Dutch economic science has developed. The Development of Dutch Economics shows strong path-dependence.

Environmental Impact of Coal Mining: A Case Study on the Barapukuria Coal Mining Industry, Dinajpur, Bangladesh
Middle-East Journal of Scientific Research, 2014Co-Authors: Harun Rashid, Sanower Hossain, Zannat Urbi, Sirajul IslamAbstract:The study was performed on the Barapukuria coal mining project in northwestern Bangladesh to evaluate the impacts of coal mining on the surrounding environment specifically on soil and water. Coal potentially contributes to the Development of Economics of a country but coal mining deteriorates the environment by polluting air, water and soil. Besides this, it also impacts on the surrounding agricultural land that limits the production of crops. The analyses of coal, coal water and soil were carried out using standard methods. The findings of coal analysis indicate that the Barapukuria coal is under bituminous coal and it consists high energy values due to low amount of ash (12.04%) and moisture (2.83%) contents. The pH of coal water was found slightly acidic and available nutrients/heavy metal, organic carbon, exchangeable cations of coal water treated farmland soil suggest that coal mining changes the surrounding water and soil quality. Sulfur (0.64%) and ash content were found in the satisfactory concentration. However, there were no significant differences in trace metal content in sedimentation tank soil, coal water treated farmland soil and normal farmland soil.

The crucial first year: a longitudinal study of students’ motivational Development at a Swiss Business School
Higher Education, 2017Co-Authors: Taiga Brahm, Tobias Jenert, Dietrich WagnerAbstract:In Switzerland, every student graduating from grammar school can begin to study at a university. This leads to high dropout rates. Although students’ motivation is considered a strong predictor of performance, the Development of motivation during students’ transition from high school to university has rarely been investigated. Additionally, little is known about the relation of motivational aspects with other influences on study performance. The present longitudinal study addresses this research gap and examines the Development of Economics and management students’ study motivation. It encompasses four waves of data collected throughout the first year, using quantitative online surveys. In total, the sample consists of 820 students. Data is analysed using latent change modelling. Results indicate that students start at a higher level of intrinsic motivation compared to extrinsic motivation. The variability of the starting value of the two constructs is also differing. The analysis also shows a gradual decline in students’ motivation. Above all, the transition from secondary to higher education seems to be a driver for this decline.
