This paper empirically examines the relationship between growth (and recessions) and current account imbalances at global country level. The results suggest that are strongly pro-cyclical, strong positive correlation is not driven exclusively by major slowdowns. We also find past recessions financial crises, both country-specific ones, tend to be preceded a building up in followed sharp persist...

Visual position and velocity cues improve human standing balance, reducing sway responses to external disturbances and sway variability. Previous work suggested that human balancing is based on sensory estimates of external disturbances and their compensation using feedback mechanisms (Disturbance Estimation and Compensation, DEC model). This study investigates the visual effects on sway respon...

Data distributions can be represented using different external representations, such as histograms and boxplots. Although the role of external representations has been extensively studied in mathematics, this is less the case in statistics. This study helps to fill this gap by systematically varying the representation that accompanies a task between participants, and assessing how university st...
