Abstract

This work demonstrates the value of the CEO’s background in determining the success of ICOs. The definition of success can differ between entrepreneurs and investors and corresponds to
the maximum amount of money raised for the former, and the listing of the ICO’s tokens for the latter. These outcomes are uncoupled from each other through breaches of contract (frauds), i.e., the fact that ICOs that have reached their hard caps do not list their tokens in up to 26.71% of the cases. As a result, both outcomes are influenced by different sets of ICOs’ characteristics, and some characteristics can influence both outcomes in opposite directions (KYC).
We provide models that help determine both outcomes based on factual, easy-to-gather information, including an easy-to-use RPA predictive model for the likelihood of token listing.

Abstract

In 2009, the Mexican state of Colima implemented a low-stakes accountability intervention with diagnostic feedback among 108 public primary schools with the lowest test scores in the national student assessment. A difference-in-difference and a regression discontinuity design are used to identify the effects of the intervention on learning outcomes. The two alternative strategies consistently show that the intervention increased test scores by 0.12 standard deviations only a few months after the program was launched. When students, teachers, and parents in a school know that their scores are low, and this triggers a process of self-evaluation and analysis, the process itself may lead to an improvement in learning outcomes. Information on quality, without punitive measures but within a supportive and collaborative environment, appears to be sufficient to improve learning outcomes.

Abstract

Parents and students from different socioeconomic backgrounds value differently school characteristics, but the reasons behind this preference heterogeneity are not well understood. In the context of the centralized school assignment system in Mexico City, this study analyzes how a large household income shock affects choices over high school tracks exploiting the discontinuity in the assignment of the welfare program Oportunidades. The income shock significantly increases the probability of choosing the vocational track vis-a-vis the other more academic-oriented tracks. The findings suggest that the transfer relaxes the financial constraints that prevent relatively low-ability students from choosing the schooling option with higher labor market returns.
