Following the framework in Oliva et al. 1987, GEMCAT II implements a flexible method to test catastrophe models containing multivariate (i.e., latent) variables while allowing for a priori variable specifications. The system uses an efficient hybrid minimization algorithm combining the Downhill...

The current study contributes to the already substantial scholarly literature on telecommuting by estimating a joint model of three dimensions—option, choice and frequency of telecommuting. In doing so, we focus on workers who are not self-employed workers and who have a primary work place...

Estimating the spatial organization of cities yields insights into interactions over a spatial structure, and thus creating efficient subcenters with more balanced distribution of travel patterns over urban agglomerations can be exercised via models which support an evidence-based spatial...

Twenty years ago, in my third thesis (Degos, 1991), I mentioned the problem of the formation of the opinion of the statutory auditor, and I used the catastrophe theory of René Thom. I persisted in this way with a working paper (1995) and a book [Degos, (1996), pp.171-183]. I regret not being...

This paper uses a response surface based on catastrophe theory to examine the interaction of information and profitability estimates on the firm's adoption of a new technology or innovation. As such, the paper builds on the conceptual ideas behind McCardle's (1985) work. An illustrative example...
