This paper adopts a literary theory perspective to depict accounting reports and information as texts rather than as … economic commodities and so available for analysis from the vantage point of semiotic linguistic theory. In doing so it takes … dominant genres of literary theory – expressive realism, the new criticism, structuralism, and deconstructionism – to …

All textbooks and articles dealing with classical tests in the context of linear models stress the implications of a significantly large F-ratio since it indicates that the mean square for whatever effect is being evaluated contains significantly more than just error variation. In general,...

This article presents analytical expressions that can be used in the evaluation of the effects of a non-linear mobile (multi-path) channel on the spectrum of MIMO-OFDM communications systems, such as 4G systems (LTE, WiMax) and probably the future 5G systems. The channel is modeled by a...

Purpose This study investigates whether the artificial neural network approach, when used on a large organizational soft HR performance dataset, results in a better (R 2 /RMSE) model compared to the linear regression. With the use of predictive modelling, a more informed base for managerial...

Purpose – This paper investigates whether mean reversion holds for a panel of 16 OECD stock price indices for the period 1970 to 2011. Design/methodology/approach – We employ seemingly unrelated regression (SUR)-based linear and non-linear unit root tests which are not only able to exploit...

The annual structure of real output in the G7 countries is investigated in this article by means of fractional integration techniques. However, instead of using the classical ARMA specifications for describing the short-run components of the series, we use an approach due to Bloomfield (1973)....

By design a wavelet's strength rests in its ability to localize a process simultaneously in time-scalespace. The wavelet's ability to localize a time series in time-scale space directly leads to the computationalefficiency of the wavelet representation of a N £ N matrix operator by allowing the...

The debate on the order of integration of interest rates has long focused on the I(1) versus I(0) distinction. In this paper we instead use the wavelet OLS estimator of Jensen (1999) to estimate the fractional integration parameters of several interest rates for the United States and Canada from...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report on a sequential three-stage analysis of inflation persistence using monthly data from 11 inflation targeting (IT) countries and, for comparison, the USA, a non-IT country with a history of credible monetary policy. Design/methodology/approach First,...
