Prior studies of information technology (IT) capability mostly focused on dimensions and effects of IT capability at intra-organizational level in western context. This paper extends intra-organizational IT capability to inter-organizational IT capability, specifically examining process-oriented...

This paper employs the Geweke decomposition test on pooled data of 109 developing and industrial countries from 1960 to 1994 to examine the direction of causality between financial development and economic growth. The paper finds that (1) financial development generally leads to economic growth;...

Kehoe2006 advocates that in evaluating an economic model, the Sims-Cogley-Nason (SCN) approach should be adopted in which empirical impulse responses are compared to those obtained from the identical structural VAR run on model generated data of the same length as actual observations. This paper...

This paper uses DEA and cluster analysis method to make research on operating efficiency difference among 28 national business incubators of Southwest China with the data of 2010 to 2012 years. The results show that the operating efficiency of business incubators in Southwest presents the...

Because of the current energy crisis, researchers and governments pay more attention to new and renewable energy. Renewable energy is a new area of development in China, and thus many talents are attracted to pursue research in these directions with the result that the renewable energy field has...

Sustainable development of the new energy industry requires continuous input from professional talents. The new energy industry will continue to grow in importance, and the characteristics of the necessary cross-discipline talents that will promote its development are becoming more and more...

This paper proposed a thermal efficiency model theoretically based on an ideal ORC to analyze the influence of working fluid properties on the thermal efficiency, the optimal operation condition and exergy destruction for various heat source temperatures were also evaluated utilizing pinch point...

We propose a class of general partially linear additive transformation models (GPLATM) with right-censored survival data in this work. The class of models are flexible enough to cover many commonly used parametric and nonparametric survival analysis models as its special cases. Based on the B...

An appropriate evaluation methodology is critical in collecting valid data in complex development intervention contexts. This paper explores this issue by putting forward an appropriate evaluation methodology for development interventions in rural China. It draws on the experience of an impact...

type="main" <title type="main">ABSTRACT</title> <p>We consider a game of endogenous timing with observable delay in a mixed duopoly with endogenous vertical differentiation in the context of sequential quality and price choice. We find that a simultaneous play in the first opportunity at each stage turns out to be the unique...</p>
