Leadership and productivity in transition: employees’ view in Serbia
Pecujlija, Mladen; Azemovic, Nedzad; Azemovic, Resad; … - In: Journal for East European Management Studies 16 (2011) 3, pp. 251-263
became a shareholders’ association. The study aims to find out the preferred pattern of leader’s behaviour as a predictor of … employees’ productive behaviour. Obtained results suggest that it is essential for increased productivity that the employees … production quality, leader’s helpfulness and expectations have proved variables in their behaviour that directly influence …

Optimal choice of k n -records in the extreme value index estimation
El Arrouchi, Mohamed; Imlahi, Abdelouahid - In: Statistics & Decisions 23 (2005) 2, pp. 101-115
Summary We propose an estimate for the index of extreme value distribution which based on k n -record values and show its consistency and asymptotic normality. The problem of specifying the optimal value of k  =  k n involved in our estimator is investigated. Some simulation results are also...

Approximate Maximum-Likelihood Estimation Of Circle Parameters Using A Phase-Coded Kernel
Zelniker, Emanuel; Clarkson, Ian Vaughan L. - 2004
The accurate fitting of a circle to noisy measurements of points on its circumference is an important and much-studied problem in statistics. Atherton & Kerbyson (Image and Vision Computing 17, 1999, 795-803) have proposed a complex convolutional circle parameter estimator. One of the estimators...

Statistical Methods for Nonlinear Dynamic Models with Measurement Error Using the Ricker Model
Resendes, David Joseph - 2011
In ecological population management, years of animal counts are fit to nonlinear, dynamic models (e.g. the Ricker model) because the values of the parameters are of interest. The yearly counts are subject to measurement error, which inevitably leads to biased estimates and adversely affects...

Estimation of Sector Sales and Employment Changes Associated with Solar Space and Water Heating Development
Petersen, H. Craig - 1979
There is little available information on sector-specific sales and employment impacts of a large-scale solar space and water heating industry. This study identifies those sectors of the economy which would be most affected by increased solar utilization and estimates the magnitude of the...

Empirical Essays on the Elasticity of Substitution, Technical Change, and Economic Growth
Pereira, Claudiney M - 2003
We estimate the elasticity of substitution using two different production functions. The usual Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) production function and a Box-Cox production function for Japan (1890-1991), UK (1870-1991), and US (1890-1992; 1929-2000). The main results are that we find the...

Dynamic Pricing with Financial Milestones: Feedback-Form Policies
Besbes, Omar; Maglaras, Costis - In: Management Science 58 (2012) 9, pp. 1715-1731
We study a seller that starts with an initial inventory of goods, has a target horizon over which to sell the goods, and is subject to a set of financial <i>milestone</i> constraints on the revenues and sales that need to be achieved at different time points along the sales horizon. We characterize the...
