The potential of inter-organisational alliances is well recognised but not always realised. An appropriate governance structure has been identified as an important contributor to success. However governance research has typically not examined influences on the coverage of an alliance and how they are reflected in the governance structure put in place. Based on resource dependency theory it is s...

Developments in risk-transfer instruments and risk management techniques in the last two decades have fundamentally changed how banks manage their assets and liabilities. In this document we show that, for all three sectors of German universal banks (private commercial banks, savings banks, and cooperative banks), asset-liability dependency declined over the period 1994-2007, the decline was st...

We examine the dynamic interaction of the population age structure, economic dependency, and fertility, paying particular attention to the role of intergenerational transfers. In the short run, a reduction in fertility produces a “demographic dividend” that allows for higher consumption. In the long run, however, higher old-age dependency can more than offset this effect. To analyze these dynam...

Changes in population structure can have a great impact on savings rates. This study investigated the relationship that exists between aging and rate South Africa. The gross of Africa from 1995 to 2017 was analysed. A fixed effect model random were used as baselines for arbitrary correlations unobserved heterogeneity independent variables. Hausman test utilized find more efficient consistent pr...

What is the status of claims about effects minimum wage laws? Empirical or praxeological? We claim latter. How can effect such legislation be best analyzed under assumption mis-behaving supply (backward bending) and demand (positively sloped, based on positing Giffen goods) curves? In usual manner: resource misallocation still occurs. But this only arguendo. More radically, curves are themselve...

The Dependency Graph pattern handles the recursive dependency of resources by introducing dependency descriptions, which model a resources’ dependencies on other resources. Before a resource is acquired, its dependencies and recursively the dependencies of required resources are evaluated by a resource manager to set up a graph of recursively dependent resources. 1 Example Using one resource of...

We compare different word embeddings from a standard window based skipgram model, a skipgram model trained using dependency context features and a novel skipgram variant that utilizes additional information from dependency graphs. We explore the effectiveness of the different types of word embeddings for word similarity and sentence classification tasks. We consider three common sentence classi...

abstract the purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesis first proposed by romer (1993); suggesting that inflation is lower in more open economies. according to this hypothesis, central banks have a lower incentive to engineer surprise inflations in more-open economies because the phillips curve is steeper. furthermore, comparing with other empirical studies, this paper has used the new kof...
