Our readings this week address the topic of globalization, crime and terrorism. I selected a reading by Javed Younas titled “Does Globalization Mitigate the Adverse Effects of Terrorism on Growth”. This is an important reading on several fronts since terrorist operations often are motivated to disrupt national economies while making the domestic population wary of international economic interference in domestic affairs. It is a complicated reading given its statistical method but Younas does a good job of explaining his primary findings. The second article by Gregg Barak focuses on globalization’s impact on crime and crime control practices at the domestic and international levels by looking at 15 different nations.

My first question is below:

The study by Younas focuses on 120 developing nations over a period of time from 1976-2008. Paying meticulous attention to the statistical analysis of his panel data, his findings seem consistent regarding this interplay of terrorism, globalization and economic growth. I would like you to state in your own words what you think is his primary finding. What other research findings did you find interesting and explain why they struck you as interesting. Finally, discuss the implications of the U-shaped relationship between globalization and growth in terms of how developing nations might better manage globalization to maximize its effect on both terrorism and growth.

Note: When you are done, I will send you classmates posts, please help me to answer their questions!

I will provide one file and then answer question :

You just learned how to create a correlation matrix and to run a regression analysis in Excel. Now, it’s time to apply your new skills to a new dataset, which appears in the sheet called “Practice” in the Excel workbook. This time, your team is assessing the criterion-related validities for a scored structured interview (StructuredInterview) and work sample assessment (WorkSample) in relation to overall job performance (JobPerformance) for a Software Developer job. You have already established that both selection procedures are significantly associated with job performance by themselves (as evidenced by correlation analyses), and now it’s time assess whether there is any redundancy between the two selection procedure variables (i.e., very large correlation), if both are still significantly associated with job performance when specified in the same regression model, and what the collective criterion-related validity of the selection procedures are in terms of the R-squared value. Respond to the following questions.
