The literature distinguishes finite sample studies of seasonal stationarity quite less intensely than it shows for seasonal unit root tests. Therefore, the use of both types of tests for better exploring time series dynamics is seldom noticed in the relative studies on such a topic. Recently,...

By drawing on neurological and psychological theories of learning, our study introduces a new conceptual framework to analyse the role learning plays in knowledge and skill acquisition. Learning is modelled through four mechanisms defined as individuals' participation in formal, non-formal, and...

Assume that two players have strict rankings over an even number of indivisible items. We propose algorithms to find allocations of these items that are maximin—maximize the minimum rank of the items that the players receive—and are envy-free and Pareto-optimal if such allocations exist. We...
