This paper is (over the formulas) self explaining . The measurement of economies no longer by GDP alone, but by an Index that includes other important factors as well, a So-cial factors relativized GDP. This index cuts out the part of the GDP that is long term fro-zen up by social transfers...

This paper aims at clarifying the notion "overall distributive effect" of an income component or a policy proposal and moreover discusses various approaches for assessing the distributional impact of the components of total income. We pay particular attention to the problem of evaluating the...

This study uses a sample of 71 countries and nonparametric quantile and partial regressions to model a number of threatened species (reptiles, mammals, fish, birds, trees, plants) in relation to various economic and environmental variables (GDPc, CO¬2 emissions, agricultural production, energy...

This book approaches the elementary statistical concepts. It presents also some statistical methods of collecting and analysis of data.

In this article we give a necessary and su±cient condition for a selfnormalized weak invariance principle, in the case of a strictly stationary Á-mixing sequence fXjgj¸1. This is obtained under the assumptions that the function L(x) = EX2 1 1fjX1·xg is slowly varying at 1 and the mixing...

In this paper we study strong approximations (invariance principles) of the sequential uniform and general Bahadur-Kiefer processes of long-range dependent sequences. We also investigate the strong and weak asymptotic behavior of the sequential Vervaat process, i.e., the integrated sequential...

Statistics is commonly taught as a set of techniques to aid in decision making, by extracting information from data. It is argued here that the underlying purpose, often implicit rather than explicit, of every statistical analysis is to establish a set of probability models which can be used to...

Recent research has shown that there appears to be real opportunities for less developed countries to obtain high yields to their investments in technoogy licensing agreements. Using a unique data set on all foreign technology licensing agreements entered into by India's largest 485 private...

The financial economics literature proposes dozens of performance measures to be used, for instance, to compare, analyse, rank and select assets. There is thus a problem: which measures should be considered? We extend the current literature by comparing a large set of performance measures over...
