We manually assign each tweet its market sentiment, i.e., the investor's anticipation of a stock's future return. Using this data, we show that all existing sentiment models trained on adjacent domains struggle with accurate market sentiment analysis due to the task's specialized vocabulary. Consequently, we design, train, and deploy our own sentiment model. It outperforms all previous models (VADER, NTUSD-Fin, FinBERT, TwitterRoBERTa) when evaluated on Twitter posts. On posts from a different platform, our model performs on par with BERT-based large language models. We achieve this result at a fraction of the training and inference costs due to the model's simple design. We publish the artifact as a python library to facilitate its use by future researchers and practitioners.}, language = {en} } @article{UthVanrell2023, author = {Uth, Melanie and Vanrell, Maria del Mar}, title = {Multiling{\"u}ismo y turismo}, series = {Energeia : online journal for linguistics, language philosophy and history of linguistics}, volume = {VIII}, journal = {Energeia : online journal for linguistics, language philosophy and history of linguistics}, publisher = {Romanisches Seminar der Universit{\"a}t Z{\"u}rich}, address = {Z{\"u}rich}, issn = {1869-4233}, pages = {104 -- 130}, year = {2023}, abstract = {El turismo es un fen{\´o}meno territorial de contacto ling{\"u}{\´i}stico-cultural que tiene impactos significativos tanto en las sociedades receptoras como, aunque en menor medida, en las sociedades de origen de los turistas.

To keep global warming to 2 degrees, people also need to reduce their consumption. At present, however, many who would be able to do so seem unwilling to comply. Given the threats of a runaway climate change, urgent measures are needed to promote less personal consumption. This study, therefore, examines whether social marketing consume-less appeals can be used to encourage consumers to voluntarily abstain from consumption. As part of an online experiment with nearly 2000 randomly sampled users of an online platform for sustainable consumption, we tested the effectiveness of five different "consume-less" appeals based on traditional advertising formats (including emotional, informational, and social claims). The study shows that consume-less appeals are capable of limiting personal desire to buy. However, significant differences in the effectiveness of the appeal formats used in this study were observed. In addition, we found evidence of rebound effects, which leads us to critically evaluate the overall potential of social marketing to promote more resource-conserving lifestyles. While commercial consumer-free appeals have previously been studied (e.g., Patagonia's "Don't Buy This Jacked"), this study on the effectiveness of non-commercial consume-free appeals is novel and provides new insights.}, language = {en} } @article{Pinkas2023, author = {Pinkas, Ronen}, title = {Erich Fromm und das freie j{\"u}dische Lehrhaus in Frankfurt}, series = {Judaica: Neue Digitale Folge}, volume = {4}, journal = {Judaica: Neue Digitale Folge}, number = {1}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Bern}, address = {Bern}, issn = {2673-4273}, doi = {10.36950/jndf.2023.1.1}, pages = {1 -- 28}, year = {2023}, abstract = {This article examines Erich Fromm (1900-1980) within the context of the so-called "renaissance of Jewish religious thought" in Germany during the early 20th century. It is well known that Fromm was a member of the Institute for Social Research, later called the Frankfurt School. The focus of this study, however, is on what has received little attention in research, namely Fromm's involvement in founding the Freies j{\"u}disches Lehrhaus (the Jewish House of Free Study) in Frankfurt. Fromm participated in the founding of the Lehrhaus as a student and later as a lecturer. During this time, Fromm also wrote his dissertation on Judaism at Heidelberg University. Methodologically, this paper intertwines the historical-biographical axis, which deals with Fromm's connections to several thinkers: Rabbi Nehemia Nobel, Rabbi Georg Salzberger, Baruch Salman Rabinkow, Franz Rosenzweig, Ernest Simon and others, and the philosophical axis, which focuses on his dissertation, The Jewish Law. The Freies j{\"u}disches Lehrhaus in Frankfurt is primarily associated with Franz Rosenzweig and other thinkers who worked there, such as Gershom Scholem, Ernest Simon, Leo L{\"o}wenthal and Martin Buber, who wrote Ich und Du during the years he taught there. With the exception of Buber, the Lehrhaus was their first official teaching venue. The Lehrhaus was characterized by its dialogical atmosphere, and symmetrical relationships between teachers and students, which softened some of the rigidity that was the norm at German educational frameworks at the time. This atmosphere continued to influence Fromm in his adult life, in terms of his attitude towards religion, questioning of authority and his understanding of human nature. Finally, it later played a role in his departure from Freudian libido theory. This study presents some key ideas from his dissertation, including his position on religious dogma, particularly concerning the Karaite sect, a subject that he later taught as a lecturer at the Lehrhaus. Fromm's dissertation expresses his preoccupation with his Jewish identity and his examination of the complex theopolitical reality in which the Jews of Germany found themselves at the beginning of the 20th century, including the debates between Orthodox Jews and reformers, and between Zionists and anti-Zionists. This article supports the claim that Fromm's position that religious factors play a central role in the historical process, which he held throughout his life, was formed in these early years. The article strengthens the scholarly position that Fromm's Jewish background is relevant to understanding his thought in general.}, language = {de} } @article{Wrohlich2023, author = {Wrohlich, Katharina}, title = {Reformen bei Elterngeld und Ehegattensplitting k{\"o}nnten gleichstellungspolitische Impulse setzen}, series = {Wirtschaftsdienst}, volume = {103}, journal = {Wirtschaftsdienst}, number = {9}, publisher = {ZBW}, address = {Hamburg}, issn = {0043-6275}, doi = {10.2478/wd-2023-0169}, pages = {600 -- 602}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Germany is characterised by large gender gaps in the labour market.

We here present DOSE — the MCC-PIK Database Of Sub-national Economic Output. DOSE contains harmonised data on reported economic output from 1,661 sub-national regions across 83 countries from 1960 to 2020. To avoid interpolation, values are assembled from numerous statistical agencies, yearbooks and the literature and harmonised for both aggregate and sectoral output.

We show that in 26 of 28 countries that have peaked emissions, the peak occurred just before or during a recession through the combined effect of lower economic growth (1.5 median percentage points per year) and decreasing energy and/or carbon intensity (0.7) during and after the crisis. In peak-and-decline countries, crises have typically magnified pre-existing improvements in structural change. In non-peaking countries, economic growth was less affected, and structural change effects were weaker or increased emissions.
