Who becomes a jihadist in Australia? A comparative analysis

This paper compares jihadist radicalisation in Australia with that in other Western countries. It identifies similarities and differences in both the nature of the jihadist activity undertaken and the demographic characteristics of the people who became involved. From this, the paper examines the utility of various theories of violent radicalisation for explaining jihadism in Australia. This op...

Who Becomes A Stockholder? Expectations, Subjective Uncertainty, and Asset Allocation

We develop a model of portfolio selection with subjective uncertainty and learning in order to explain why some people hold stocks while others don’t. We model heterogeneity in information directly, which is an alternative to the existing explanations that emphasized heterogeneity in transaction costs of investment. Our approach leads to a model of learning with new implications such as zero op...

A Digital Pathway to Financial Inclusion

Payments are the connective tissue of an economic system. They enable people to buy goods, purchase water and electricity, and send money to friends, family, and business partners. They enable governments to collect taxes and disburse social payments. And they enable suppliers to collect payments from buyers. When these transactions are costly and inconvenient, economic activity is impeded. Wea...

A Novel Algorithm for Digital Distance Relaying

Distance relays are used to protect EHV and HV Transmission lines. Over the past decades many algorithms have emerged for digital distance relays. These are based on the calculation of the transmission line impedance from the relaying to fault points. In this paper a novel method for digital distance relaying is proposed. In the method the tracking procedure is implemented. The method uses the ...
