Migrant Remittances and Information Flows: Evidence from a Field Experiment
Migrant Remittances and Information Flows: Evidence from a Field Experiment Do information flows matter for remittance behavior? We design and implement a randomized control trial to quantitatively assess the role of communication between migrants and their contacts abroad on the extent and value of remittance flows. In the experiment, a random sample of 1,500 migrants residing in Ireland was o...
متن کاملentropy, negentropy, and information
evaluation criteria for different versions of the same database the concept of information, during its development, is connected to the concept of entropy created by the 19th century termodynamics scholars. information means, in this view point, order or negentropy. on the other hand, entropy is connected to the concepts as chaos and noise, which cause, in turn, disorder. in the present paper, ...
متن کاملUsing transfer entropy to measure information flows between financial markets
We use transfer entropy to quantify information flows between financial markets and propose a suitable bootstrap procedure for statistical inference. Transfer entropy is a model-free measure designed as the Kullback-Leibler distance of transition probabilities. Our approach allows to determine, measure and test for information transfer without being restricted to linear dynamics. In our empiric...
متن کاملAlgebraic flows and their entropy
A flow in a category X is an object X of X provided with an endomorphism T : X → X in X. In most of the cases X will be the category of (topological) groups and (continuous) group homomorphisms, the category of right modules over a ring R and the R-module homomorphisms, or just the category of topological (resp., measure) spaces and continuous (resp., measure preserving) maps. An isomorphism be...
متن کاملglobalization, geopolitics and the flows of information
introduction: for the understanding of the geopolitics of information, we need to use a geographical approach in the flows and processes of information. in this way, it is necessary that put the westphalian territorialism away and equipped by new approach called polycentrism to information and its geopolitics. it does not mean that we cannot analyze every thing according to territorial walls an...
