E-recruitment: Towards an ubiquitous recruitment process and candidate relationship management
Holm, Anna B. - In: Zeitschrift für Personalforschung (ZfP) 26 (2012) 3, pp. 241-259
Up to now, there has been little research on the impact of e-recruitment on the recruitment process as a whole. The … present study fills part of this gap by investigating the effect of e-recruitment on the design of the recruitment process … that e-recruitment transforms the traditional recruitment process into a time- and space-independent, collaborative hiring …

WTO decision-making for the future
Low, Patrick - 2011
Decision making in the WTO has become ever more difficult as the number of members increases and the range of issues … tackled broadens. This paper looks at reasons why aspects of decision-making might be changed and discusses a number of … trading system. It then takes a detailed look at the notion of critical mass decision-making. It argues for this approach …

An Evolutionary Algorithm for the Estimation of Threshold Vector Error Correction Models
El-Shagi, Makram - 2010
We develop an evolutionary algorithm to estimate Threshold Vector Error Correction models (TVECM) with more than two cointegrated variables. Since disregarding a threshold in cointegration models renders standard approaches to the estimation of the cointegration vectors inefficient, TVECM...

Schumpeterian dynamics and financial market anomalies
Merey, Esther; Hanusch, Horst; Grebel, Thomas - 2004
In this paper we try to put together both the dynamics of the endogenous evolution of an industry and the corresponding dynamics on the capital market. The first module of our modelling efforts is the endogenous evolution of the industry based on the micro-behaviour of boundedly rational agents....

How Can Voters Classify an Incumbent under Output Persistence
Caleiro, António - 2008
The literature on electoral cycles has developed in two distinct phases. The first one considered the existence of non-rational (naive) voters whereas the second one considered fully rational voters. In our perspective, an intermediate approach is more interesting, i.e. one that considers...

Improving the pricing of options: a neural network approach
Anders, Ulrich; Korn, Olaf; Schmitt, Christian - 1996
In this paper we apply statistical inference techniques to build neural network models which are able to explain the prices of call options written on the German stock index DAX. By testing for the explanatory power of several input variables serving as network inputs, some insight into the...

Model selection in neural networks
Anders, Ulrich; Korn, Olaf - 1996
In this article we examine how model selection in neural networks can be guided by statistical procedures such as hypotheses tests, information criteria and cross validation. The application of these methods in neural network models is discussed, paying attention especially to the identification...

Closed form integration of artificial neural networks with some applications
Gottschling, Andreas; Haefke, Christian; White, Halbert - 1999
Many economic and econometric applications require the integration of functions lacking a closed form antiderivative, which is therefore a task that can only be solved by numerical methods. We propose a new family of probability densities that can be used as substitutes and have the property of...

Approximation properties of the neuro-fuzzy minimum function
Gottschling, Andreas; Kreuter, Christof - 1999
The integration of fuzzy logic systems and neural networks in data driven nonlinear modeling applications has generally been limited to functions based upon the multiplicative fuzzy implication rule for theoretical and computational reasons. We derive a universal approximation result for the...
