In this paper we focus on a continuously deteriorating two units series equipment which its failure can not be measured by cost criterion. For these types of systems avoiding failure during the actual operation of the system is extremely important. In this paper we determine inspection periods and maintenance policy in such a way that failure probability is limited to a pre-specified value and ...

Weighted Uniform Simulation (WUS) is recently presented as one of the efficient simulation methods to obtain structural failure probability and most probable point (MPP). This method requires initial assumptions of failure probability to obtain results. Besides, it has the problem of variation in results when it conducted with few samples. In the present study three strategies have been present...

The study was conducted to assess the credit utilization pattern and repayment behavior of the fish farmers in Mymensingh and Kishoreganj districts during January to December, 2009. Data were collected from 600 fish farmers, 300 each from each district by employing stratified random sampling technique. Credit utilization rate in Mymensingh district was 49.04%, 56.73% and 70.29% in case of small...

We use repayment data from Grameen Bank groups to study mutual dependence in behavior among participants. Such dependence is a measure of group cohesion, and is interpreted as evidence for the existence of inter-connectedness among members at the group level. Results from a dynamic fixed-effects probit model demonstrate that individual repayment outcomes are significantly influenced by own lagg...

In the context of Malaysian companies’ survival, potential role intended use proceeds as an influential factor remains unfamiliar. This study examines link between IPO and survival 423 listed companies over period 2000–2014. distinguishes into three segregations: growth opportunities, debt repayment, working capital. Employing Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) model, overall evidence shows a stati...

This study was conducted with the objective of identifying the major determinants of loan repayment in Small Scale Enterprises (SSEs) with particular reference to SSEs in one of Kenya’s most dynamic informal business hub, Kariobangi Division in Nairobi. In order to achieve this objective, primarily data were collected from 50 randomly selected respondents by using questionnaires. Descriptive st...

This paper reports the results of an econometric analysis of the borrowing and repayment patterns of Canadian bachelor’s level university graduates, using data from the National Graduates Survey (NGS) of the class of 1990. After confirming the intuition that the level of borrowing is determined by supply-side rather than by demand-side factors, we analyze the repayment experience of the graduat...

supply of credits to farmers seems necessary because of the importance of credits in order to assurance the efficiency of production process. the purpose of this study is identification factors affecting on credits allocation to agricultural activities and factors affecting on probability failure to repay of credits received .for this study, 196 farmers and customers who have received loans fro...
