What Drives Social Returns to Education? A Meta-Analysis
Education can generate important externalities that contribute towards economic growth and convergence. In this paper, we study such externalities and their drivers by conducting the first meta-analysis of the social returns to education literature. We analyse over 1,000 estimates from 32 journal articles published since 1993, covering 15 countries of different levels of development. Our results indicate that: (1) there is publication bias (but n…
Striving and thriving
This paper examines women's position in the Chinese sports administration by studying three national sport organizations (NSOs). It is argued that the so-called gender-neutral promotion process is biased against female candidates and in the end serves the purpose of reinforcing a male-dominated upper management. Several key qualifications in evaluating candidates for promotion, such as a strategic vision, higher education and English ability, wer…

The Goal of Advertisement Translation
Advertisements have a clear goal to promote a product or service by appealing to the audience, so the conditions of target readers must be considered. Thus, there are various restrictions for advertising, including people’s habits and customs, religion and beliefs, morals and ethics, laws in the target place, and linguistic or stylistic requirement. A translated advertisement is supposed to promote a product or service in the target culture. In t…
Using Cochran’s Z Statistic to Test the Kernel-Smoothed Item Response Function Differences Between Focal and Reference Groups

Simulation studies were conducted to investigate the Type I error and power of the proposed kernel-smoothed Cochran’s Z. For the purpose of comparison, the Type I error and power rates with no correction an…
Differences in the Transference of Humor and Personification in Advertisement Translation
This study analyses the transference of humor in translating advertising texts and, based on research in a prior study, proposes that the transference of humor is quite flexible in the practice of advertisement translation. The humorous expressions in original texts may be faithfully translated, or deleted, or in some cases humor may be added in translated texts. Compared with such flexible ways of dealing with humor, the translation of personify…

The prevalence data on schistosomiasis infection from 2007 to 2012 in the 30 most endemic counties of Hubei Province, Central China, were appended to the…
The Effect of Person Misfit on Item Parameter Estimation and Classification Accuracy
Often, important decisions regarding accountability and placement of students in performance categories are made on the basis of test scores generated from tests, therefore, it is important to evaluate the validity of the inferences derived from test results. One of the threats to the validity of such inferences is aberrant responding. Several person fit indices were developed to detect aberrant responding on educational and psychological tests. …
Key Information Processes for Thinking Critically in Data-Rich Environments
The objective of the present paper is to propose a refined conception of critical thinking in data-rich environments. The rationale for refining critical thinking stems from the need to identify specific information processes that direct the suspension of prior beliefs and activate broader interpretations of data. Established definitions of critical thinking, many of them originating in philosophy, do not include such processes. A refinement of c…
