It is shown that starting with a certain meaningful problem of the type “ranking of populations”, a need arises to employ functions which we call “Schur-convex of 2nd order with respect to two variables”. These functions L(v1,v2,v3,…,vn) are symmetric, and they are characterized in...

An alternative is proposed to the Weibull cumulative exposure model in step‐stress testing, that we call the transformed exponential model. The proposed model comes from a natural transformation of the exponential cumulative exposure model. It is as flexible as the cumulative exposure model...

Many lower‐level management jobs do not allow managerial talent to manifest itself. Management training exercises are required to identify and develop this talent. These exercises are invariably handicapped by participants providing what they think is the required response rather than their...

This paper investigates the small sample performance of four well-known cointegration tests when a system has been …, Johansen's (1991) trace and the Boswijk (1989) Wald tests are examined. The Johansen trace test adjusted by the finite sample …

This paper reexamines the dynamic relation between intraday trading volume and return volatility of large and small NYSE stocks in two partitioned samples, with and without identifiable public news. We argue that the sequential information arrival hypothesis (SIAH) can be tested only in periods...

This study examines the extent to which software diffusion and infusion affect the decision to replace 'off-the-shelf' software, using the example of spreadsheet software. Transaction cost economics motivates the propositions that higher levels of software diffusion and higher levels of software...
