Value Added Modeling

In this article, the authors provide a methodological critique of the current standard of value-added modeling forwarded in educational policy contexts as a means of measuring teacher effectiveness. Conventional value-added estimates of teacher quality are attempts to determine to what degree a teacher would theoretically contribute, on average, to the test score gains of any student in the accountability population (i.e., district or state). Everson, Feinauer, and Sudweeks suggest an alternative statistical methodology, propensity score matching, which allows estimation of how well a teacher performs relative to teachers assigned comparable classes of students. This approach more closely fits the appropriate role of an accountability system: to estimate how well employees perform in the job to which they are actually assigned. It also has the benefit of requiring fewer statistical assumptions—assumptions that are frequently violated in value-added modeling. The authors conclude that this alternative method allows for more appropriate and policy-relevant inferences about the performance of teachers.

Over Time

The article considers the tax potential of the composition of GDP by type of primary incomes in 2000—2010 by main economic activities and branches of industry. The analysis has shown that the components of GDP, which decline (net income), comprise the basis of the tax system; meanwhile the proportion of the components, hardly covered by taxation (hidden salary), or those, which taxation is difficult to control (net mixed income), increases. The author comes to the conclusion that the proportion of the industry tax burden and the share of gross value added in GDP should be balanced. Otherwise, the tax system becomes ineffective. The analysis of the structure of industry tax revenues over time suggests a high differentiation of taxes on economic activities and industries.

And Control

The main proposal of the Smart Banking System by using IoT is to develop a System that could be easy to use and accessible. IoT solutions make certain Banking & Financial Services (BFS) companies for improved tracking and analysis of client’s behaviors and requirements. In the dominion of interconnected "things", banks are testing better approaches for associating with clients to give them exhortation, and might exhibit money related offers through their cell phone as they stroll past specific stores. They could use a similar way to deal with give direction on sending a notice to "skip Starbucks" as the client overspent on sundries the current month's savings. In the coming future, banks will have an extensive task to perform in managing and control of payments. IoT helps banks in many ways ,ie: facilitating consumers by communicating with right information about different offers especially in banking/finance, and solve different day to day issues of consumers and retain them for longer period. The customer data available through the IoT will identify the financial needs of the client and its value chain that also helps banks provide the value added services and customized financial products to ensure Win-Win situation .This banking system enabled with IoT improves customer loyalty by playing as a powerful facilitator .It transforms the business in the future. Banks must convert IoT data into valuable information that helps in increases their market share and provides better solutions to their customers. As the banking system has become part of a human day to day activity, it efficiently offers many benefits, such as operating a payment system, granting loans, taking deposits and helping with investments etc

Abstract This work, developed as a case study, propose, describe, and evaluates an implementation of a pull system in a SME company producing polymeric components for the automotive industry. The production system of the company was based on the push paradigm, which creates high stock levels and high lead times. The main purpose was to develop a pull production system controlled by Kanbans in the painting line. To achieve this goal, this case study demonstrates the application of relevant lean tools, such as, VSM, SMED, Kanban System, Supermarkets and Leveling. Through the SMED’s application, it was possible to reduce the setup times in 38% and make annual earnings of approximately 83000€. The application of a Kanban System, Leveling and Supermarket enabled the WIP’s reduction between injection and painting in 56% and, also, between painting and expedition in 45%. Also, the lead time decreased and the value-added time increased. Thus, this is an exemplary case study for the implementation of a pull system and can be used both by practitioners and researchers interested in this theme.

Hierarchy Process

Economic value added (EVA) systems and the balanced scorecard (BSC) havegenerated a tremendous interest in corporate America recently as approachesto performance management. Implementation of these methodologies has notproven to be easy. This paper introduces the analytical hierarchy process andshows how this methodology addresses the limitations of EVA and BSC by integratingthem into one comprehensive system. A case study is used to illustratethis methodology.

New Evidence

While numerous studies have found that school accountability boosts test scores, it is uncertain whether estimated test score gains reflect genuine improvements or merely “gaming” behaviors. This paper brings to bear new evidence from a unique five-year, three-round survey conducted of a census of public elementary schools in Florida that is linked with detailed administrative data on student performance. We show that schools facing accountability pressure changed their instructional practices in meaningful ways, and that these responses can explain a portion of the test score gains associated with the Florida school accountability system.
