The study investigates the effect of external commercial borrowings ( ECB ) on outward foreign direct investment OFDI using data Indian manufacturing firms from 2008 to 2020. Our analysis, Heckman two-step procedure (1979), suggests a positive firms’ . results indicate that more leverage and are with higher intensity.

Using recent econometric developments about causal inference, I examine whether diversification destroys value. I estimate the value effect of diversification by matching diversifying and single-segment firms on their propensity score-the predicted values from a probit model of the propensity to diversify. I also use Heckman 's (1979) two-stage estimator for comparison purposes. Ifind that on a...

The Batalin-Vilkovisky method (BV ) is the most powerful method to analyze functional integrals with (infinite-dimensional) gauge symmetries presently known. It has been invented to fix gauges associated with symmetries that do not close off-shell. Homological Perturbation Theory is introduced and used to develop the integration theory behind BV and to describe the BV quantization of a Lagrangi...

Let G be any triangle-free graph with maximum degree ∆ ≤ 3. Staton proved that the independence number of G is at least 5 14 n. Heckman and Thomas conjectured that Staton’s result can be strengthened into a bound on the fractional chromatic number of G, namely χf (G) ≤ 14 5 . Recently, Hatami and Zhu proved χf (G) ≤ 3− 3 64 . In this paper, we prove χf (G) ≤ 3− 3 43 .

It is shown, that the geometrical objects of Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism– odd symplectic structure and nilpotent operator ∆ can be naturally uncorporated in Duistermaat–Heckman localization procedure. The presence of the supersymmetric bi-Hamiltonian dynamics with even and odd symplectic structure in this procedure is established. These constructions can be straightly generalized for the path-...
