Discriminability in Multidimensional Performance Evaluations

Gender Bias in Performance Evaluations:

This paper provides new evidence on gender bias in performance evaluations of university teachers. We exploit a quasi-experimental dataset on 19,962 teaching evaluations, where students are randomly allocated to female or male teachers. Despite the fact that neither students’ grades nor self-study hours are affected by the teacher’s gender, we find that in particular male students evaluate fema...

Multidimensional Performance Management

In order to maximize efficiency of an information management platform and to assist in decision making, the collection, storage and analysis of performance-relevant data has become of fundamental importance. This paper addresses the merits and drawbacks provided by the OLAP paradigm for efficiently navigating large volumes of performance measurement data hierarchically. The system managers or d...

Subjective Evaluations with Performance Feedback

This paper models two key roles of subjective performance evaluations: their incentive role and their feedback role. The paper shows that the feedback role makes subjective pay feasible even without repeated interaction, as long as there exists some veri…able measure of performance. It also shows that while subjective pay is helpful, it cannot achieve full e¢ ciency. However, fully e¢ cient inc...

Performance Evaluations of a Multithreaded

We propose handling of external real-time events through multithreading and describe the microarchitecture of our multithreaded Java microcontroller, called Komodo microcontroller. Real-time Java threads are used as interrupt service threads (ISTs) instead of interrupt service routines (ISRs). Our proposed Komodo microcon-troller supports multiple ISTs with zero-cycle context switching overhead...
