TL;DR: This paper introduced the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR-16) to assess social desirability when time is limited, which incorporates Self-Deceptive Enhancement (honest but overly positive responding) and Impression Management (bias toward pleasing others).
Abstract: Self-report studies often call for assessment of socially desirable responding. Many researchers use the Marlowe–Crowne Scale for its brief versions; however, this scale is outdated, and contemporary models of social desirability emphasize its multi-dimensional nature. The 40-item Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR) incorporates Self-Deceptive Enhancement (honest but overly positive responding) and Impression Management (bias toward pleasing others). However, its length limits its practicality. This article introduces the BIDR-16. In four studies, we shorten the BIDR from 40 items to 16 items, while retaining its two-factor structure, reliability, and validity. This short form will be invaluable to researchers wanting to assess social desirability when time is limited.

TL;DR: This paper develops a comprehensive framework for evaluating the quality of standard rating systems and suggests a number of principles that ought to be met by 'good rating practice', potentially relevant for the improvement of existing rating systems.
Abstract: Bank internal ratings of corporate clients are intended to quantify the expected likelihood of future borrower defaults. This paper develops a comprehensive framework for evaluating the quality of standard rating systems. We suggest a number of principles that ought to be met by “good rating practice”. These “generally accepted rating principles” are potentially relevant for the improvement of existing rating systems. They are also relevant for the development of certification standards for internal rating systems, as currently discussed in a consultative paper issued by the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, entitled “A new capital adequacy framework”. We would very much appreciate any comments by readers that help to develop these rating standards further.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the link between the cross-functional dispersion of influence on marketing activities and performance at the SBU level and considered dynamism of the market, which may moderate the strength of this relationship.

TL;DR: This paper analyzed both matching and choice behavior and found that violations of the stationarity axiom are restricted to matching behavior, both for certainty and risk, and also compared the discounting of certain and risky outcomes as well as the discounteding of gains and losses.
Abstract: This study compares time preference in the cases of certainty and risk. We analyze both matching and choice behavior. We find that violations of the stationarity axiom are restricted to matching behavior, both for certainty and risk. We also compare the discounting of certain and risky outcomes as well as the discounting of gains and losses. In matching tasks, certain outcomes are discounted more than risky ones. We could not confirm these results in a choice task. Gains and losses are not found to be discounted at different rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that Hampel's classical notion of qualitative robustness is not suitable for risk measurement, and propose and analyze a refined notion of robustness that applies to tail-dependent law-invariant convex risk measures on Orlicz spaces.
Abstract: When estimating the risk of a P&L from historical data or Monte Carlo simulation, the robustness of the estimate is important. We argue here that Hampel’s classical notion of qualitative robustness is not suitable for risk measurement, and we propose and analyze a refined notion of robustness that applies to tail-dependent law-invariant convex risk measures on Orlicz spaces. This concept captures the tradeoff between robustness and sensitivity and can be quantified by an index of qualitative robustness. By means of this index, we can compare various risk measures, such as distortion risk measures, in regard to their degree of robustness. Our analysis also yields results of independent interest such as continuity properties and consistency of estimators for risk measures, or a Skorohod representation theorem for ψ-weak convergence.
