We discuss the importance of a sustainable education policy for the prosperity and stability of society. Early childhood education, schools and vocational training must all be seen as a lifelong learning project in order to promote equal opportunities. Despite the expansion of day care centres...

Shimer documents that the search-and-matching model driven by productivity shocks explains only a small share of the observed volatility of unemployment and vacancies, which is known as the Shimer puzzle. We revisit this evidence by replacing the representative firm's optimization with a deep...

Organizational learning theory has long recognized the advantages of sequential repetition, since successive events allow organizations multiple opportunities to iteratively refine their approaches. In many situations, though, events unfold so quickly that they can overlap, becoming more...

Insurance fraud detection is a significant problem in the insurance industry, producing immeasurable losses. Conventional insurance fraud detection models depend heavily on experts' knowledge, and accurately estimating fraud when the data and the claim data are enormous is a complex and...

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and the broad adoption of distance learning over the past few years have caused a remarkable shift in the educational landscape. However, the vast majority of available MOOCs often challenge learners in selecting courses that align with their academic goals,...

Context: This study uses a social space approach to investigate Virtual Reality (VR)-based workplace learning in the context of apprenticeship training in the electronics industry in Switzerland. It was one part of a project which developed a prototype VR environment that enables apprentices to...

Purpose: In the evolving landscape of the 21st century, characterized by dynamic global challenges such as health crises, climate change, and rapid technological advancements, the imperative of lifelong learning has become more pronounced than ever. Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) plays a pivotal...

In today's globalised trade, supply chains form complex networks spanning multiple organisations and even countries, making them highly vulnerable to disruptions. These vulnerabilities, highlighted by recent global crises, underscore the urgent need for improved visibility and resilience of the...

The integration of IoT and Big Data in education has significantly improved digital learning effectiveness and students' digital literacy. This study examines their impact on sustainability awareness among university students in Indonesia using a quantitative approach with PLS-SEM analysis. The...

This working paper explores the multifaceted role of learning outcomes across the continuum of teacher education, spanning initial teacher education, induction, and continuing professional development. Drawing on a literature review and data from 10 case studies conducted as part of Cedefop's...

We study how AI tutoring affects learning in higher education through a randomized experiment with 334 university students preparing for an incentivized exam. Students either received only textbook material, restricted access to an AI tutor requiring initial independent reading, or unrestricted...

The purpose of this study is to identify the most effective supervised machine learning models for predicting the financial performance of companies listed on the BIST100 index. In the rapidly evolving field of financial forecasting, machine learning techniques offer robust predictive...

We examine the urban learning and schooling premium in Peru using two approaches: 1) estimating the effect of local population density on pupils' value-added in learning between grades two to eight, 2) quasi-experimental Census estimations on the effects of the duration of urban exposure in...

Knowledge spillovers among firms are widely viewed as a key driver of agglomeration and growth, but are difficult to estimate cleanly. We randomly allocated an energy-efficient motor - a "servo'" motor - among leather-goods firms in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and tracked adoption, information flows,...
