Purpose This case study aims to appraise the financial benefits of green building construction in developing countries. The case study presents, green building's positive net present value (NPV) investment in real terms and potentially enhanced stock market returns at the firm level compared to...

In real-world surveys, non-response and measurement errors are common, therefore studying them together seems rational. Some population mean estimators are modified and studied in the presence of non-response and measurement errors. Bias and mean squared error expressions are derived under...

We first show that the Generalized Least Squares estimator is the best median unbiased estimator of the regression parameters for quite general loss functions, when the parameter space is unrestricted. Of note is the fact that this result holds without moment restrictions. Thus, the errors may...

The combination of graphical models and reference analysis represents a powerful tool for Bayesian inference in highly multivariate settings. It is typically difficult to derive reference priors in complex problems. In this paper we present a suitable mixed parameterisation for a discrete...

The Lee-Carter model, the dominant mortality projection modeling in the literature, was criticized for its homoscedastic error assumption. This was corrected in extensions to the model based on the assumption that the number of deaths follows Poisson or negative binomial distributions. We...

continual acceleration may well be counter-productive and lead to an "acceleration paradox" – more of it not always is better …. Three levels of the emergence and spread of the acceleration phenomenon can be distinguished: the macroeconomic, the … microeconomic, and the motivational and behavioural level, all of them bearing, however, the danger of an "acceleration trap …

Development of civil engineering science has introduced tunneling as an important option in reducing the traffic volume of urban environments. Digging tunnels, in every depth, causes changes in the surface ground structure; tunneling in urban areas, especially when has passed through the...
