Biased Humans, (Un)Biased Algorithms? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Business Ethics, 2022
AbstractPrevious research has shown that algorithmic decisions can reflect gender bias. The increasingly widespread utilization of algorithms in critical decision-making domains (e.g., healthcare or hiring) can thus lead to broad and structural disadvantages for women.

From competition to cooperation: Paradigm shifts in trait-based ecology change our understanding of the processes that structure microbial communities

open access: yesEcología Austral, 2023
Prevailing social, economic and political ideas and paradigms constitute the lens through which scientists observe, assess, and understand the world. This affects how we interpret and understand the mechanisms governing the interaction between organisms

Whither Now, Opinion Modelers?

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2020
The article describes the current status and potential directions of development of agent-based models of social opinion dynamics. Despite extensive effort, the models achieve, at best, only qualitative agreement with social observations.

Developing biases [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
German nouns may alternate from singular to plural in two different ways. Some singular forms that end in a voiceless obstruent have a plural in which this obstruent is voiced. Another alternation concerns the vowel. Some singular forms with a back vowel have a plural form in which this back vowel is front.

Biased Auctioneers

open access: yesThe Journal of Finance, 2023
ABSTRACTWe construct a neural network algorithm that generates price predictions for art at auction, relying on both visual and nonvisual object characteristics. We find that higher automated valuations relative to auction house presale estimates are associated with substantially higher price‐to‐estimate ratios and lower buy‐in rates, pointing to ...

Biasing Phenomenon [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy Reports, 2021
We study biasing as a physical phenomenon by analysing power spectra (PS) and correlation functions (CF) of simulated galaxy samples and dark matter (DM) samples. We apply an algorithm based on the local densities of particles, $ $, to form populations of simulated galaxies, using particles with $ \ge _0$. We calculate two-point CF of projected (2D)

Core Self-Evaluations, Self-Leadership, and the Self-Serving Bias in Managerial Decision Making: A Laboratory Experiment

open access: yesAdministrative Sciences, 2020
The self-leadership construct has received great attention from scholars over the last 40 years due to its capacity to influence personal effectiveness. However, despite strongly influencing individuals’ self-efficacy, performed studies did not determine

Biased supervision [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2014
Organizations can use subjective performance pay when verifiable performance measures are imperfect. However, this gives supervisors the power to direct employees toward tasks that mainly benefit the supervisor rather than the organization. We cast a principal–supervisor–agent model in a multitask setting, where the supervisor has an intrinsic ...
