Saying Hello World with GReTL - A Solution to the TTC 2011 Instructive Case
This paper discusses the GReTL solution of the TTC 2011 Hello World case. The
submitted solution covers all tasks including the optional ones.Comment: In Proceedings TTC 2011, arXiv:1111.440
Solving the TTC 2011 Reengineering Case with GReTL
This paper discusses the GReTL reference solution of the TTC 2011
Reengineering case. Given a Java syntax graph, a simple state machine model has
to be extracted. The submitted solution covers both the core task and the two
extension tasks.Comment: In Proceedings TTC 2011, arXiv:1111.440
Solving the TTC 2011 Compiler Optimization Case with GReTL
This paper discusses the GReTL solution of the TTC 2011 Compiler Optimization
case. The submitted solution covers both the constant folding task and the
instruction selection task. The verifier for checking the validity of the graph
is also implemented, and some additional test graphs are provided as requested
by the extension.Comment: In Proceedings TTC 2011, arXiv:1111.440
Income, consumption and remittances: Evidence from immigrants to Australia
For many countries, remittance behaviour by migrants is an important component of their overall international financial flows. To date, the empirical literature has analysed the propensity to remit as a function of migrants' socio-economic characteristics. However, no studies have fully addressed the empirical implications of remittance behaviour being determined in the broader context of migrants' labour, income and consumption allocation strategy. On the contrary, the migrant's income has almost always been treated as exogenous in this context. The aim of this study is to estimate a remittance equation that detects the main determinants of remittance behaviour while addressing endogeneity and reverse causality relationships between remittances, income, consumption and savings. Moreover, since a large share of individuals do not remit money at all, an instrumental variable variant of the double-hurdle selection model is proposed and estimated by LIML. A sending country perspective is adopted in the empirical analysis by considering the first cohort of the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Australia. We find that endogeneity is substantial and that estimates obtained by the methods previously employed in the literature may be very misleading if given a behavioural interpretation. Our results confirm some theoretical predictions and shed light on others; notably, we show that selfish motives in remitters are at least as important as altruistic motives. --Double-hurdle model,migration,remittances

Program Understanding: A Reengineering Case for the Transformation Tool Contest
In Software Reengineering, one of the central artifacts is the source code of
the legacy system in question. In fact, in most cases it is the only definitive
artifact, because over the time the code has diverged from the original
architecture and design documents. The first task of any reengineering project
is to gather an understanding of the system's architecture. Therefore, a common
approach is to use parsers to translate the source code into a model conforming
to the abstract syntax of the programming language the system is implemented in
which can then be subject to querying. Despite querying, transformations can be
used to generate more abstract views on the system's architecture. This
transformation case deals with the creation of a state machine model out of a
Java syntax graph. It is derived from a task that originates from a real
reengineering project.Comment: In Proceedings TTC 2011, arXiv:1111.440
