In the literature technical change is mostly assumed to be exogenous and specified as a function of time. However, some exogenous external factors other than time can also affect technical change. In this paper we model technical change via time trend (purely external non-economic) as well as...

Index Decomposition Analysis (IDA) has been extensively applied in studies of energy consumption and energy-related emissions. Most have focused on the impacts of industrial structural change and technology progress and a few have also looked at inter-fuel substitution. There has been no study...

The most popular general univariate polarization indices for discrete (Esteban and Ray 1994), and continuous (Duclos, Esteban and Ray 2004) variables are combined and extended to describe the extent of polarization between agents in a distribution defined over a collection of many discrete and...

The most popular general univariate polarization indexes for discrete and continuous variables are extended and combined to describe the extent of polarization between agents in a distribution defined over a collection of many discrete and continuous agent characteristics. A formula for the...

This paper develops a new risk meter specifically for China - FRM@China - to detect systemic financial risk as well as tail-event (TE) dependencies among major financial institutions (FIs). Compared with the CBOE FIX VIX, which is currently the most popular financial risk measure, FRM@China has...

On the background of cultural industries development, the study on spatial agglomeration of China's cultural industries has theoretical and practical significance. In this paper, the spatial agglomeration degree of eleven cultural industries of 31 provinces in China is estimated and analyzed...
