Should Central Banks Care About Text Mining? That's the question that Banque de France have been asking. To help answer the question, they have cited a paper written by Sheffield Business School Senior Lecturer Drew Woodhouse. "Being cited in the policy work of Banque de France (the central bank of France) is quite a big achievement. It's great to be recognised in central banking policy making and thinking." The full policy work is available here WP950.pdf (banque-france.fr) #Finance #Economics #Economy #TextMining

Collaboration is vital to retaining graduate talent in Yorkshire Key figures from the county’s 12 universities, local councils, employers and organisations invested in graduate employment came together to discuss how they can collectively support graduates to stay and thrive in Yorkshire.

Forging a joined-up, collaborative approach to retaining the regions’ ready supply of highly skilled graduates is key to driving innovation and enterprise and absolutely critical to stimulate economic growth across our cities and towns.   “Success is utterly reliant on strong partnership working, and I was delighted to welcome business, civic and education leaders from across the region to discuss the key challenges and opportunities employers and graduates face.

Why is an MBA relevant today and how might it evolve? Senior Lecturer and Global MBA Lead Dr Cindy Wang-Cowham shares their thoughts with EFMD Global "In my view, having business acumen is important to everyone.

This contradicts studies in the UK which showed reduced energy intakes in baby-led weaning. Senior Lecturer in Nutrition, Jo Pearce, has contributed to an article in New Scientist: “We need more research into baby-led weaning to see if the approach leads to positive health outcomes in babies who follow this style of complementary feeding, and to understand if these outcomes are really down to baby-led weaning or the socioeconomic status of parents who are more likely to follow this style of weaning,” Read the full article below. https://lnkd.in/edm37pnZ
