The Measurement of Child Costs : A Rothbarth-Type Method Consistent with Scale Economies

Bargain, Olivier - 2009

We propose a new methodology to estimate the share of household income accruing to children (i.e., the cost of children). Following the principle of the Rothbarth approach, the identification of the children's share requires the observation of at least one adult-specific good. However, our...

Quantifying Diseconomies Of Scale For Mutual Funds

Jiang, Lei - 2020

The fund size is highly persistent and correlated with risk factor loadings. Hence, it is unrealistic to assume constant diseconomies of scale over a long time. The traditional two-step method underestimates the uncertainty of diseconomies of scale. We propose a one-step procedure with a random...

Specific α-Returns to Scale

Briec, Walter - 2020

Boussemart et al. (2009, 2010, 2018) propose to identify a global α-returns to scale that allows to minimise the inefficiency of the production set. This paper extends this notion to the concept of specific α-returns to scale. In such case, it is possible to identify the impact of each input...

Measuring Economic Growth and Its Relation with Production Possibility Frontier and Returns to Scale

Mert, Merter - 2017

Economic growth is frequently explained by an increase in the quantity of production. However, economic growth is an increase in the productive capacity of an economy and it is explained by an outward shift of production possibility frontier. The aim of this study is to measure economic growth...

Does Scale Matter in Community Bank Performance? Evidence Obtained by Applying Several New Measures of Performance

Hughes, Joseph P. - 2019

We consider how size matters for banks in three size groups: small community banks with assets less than $1 billion, large community banks with assets between $1 billion and $10 billion, and midsize banks with assets between $10 billion and $50 billion. To illustrate the differences between...

Measuring the Scale Efficiency of Agricultural SMEs Exporting in Vietnam

Hang, Trinh Thi Thu - 2019

The paper uses data envelope analysis model to measure the scale effect of agricultural SMEs exporting in Vietnam in the period of 2010 - 2015 and use the Tobit regression model to assess the impact of factors such as region, domain, inventory, salary, capital, tax to affect the scale of...

Big is Fragile : An Attempt at Theorizing Scale

Ansar, Atif - 2017

In this paper we characterise the propensity of big capital investments to systematically deliver poor outcomes as "fragility," a notion suggested by Nassim Taleb. A thing or system that is easily harmed by randomness is fragile. We argue that, contrary to their appearance, big capital...

Scaled PCA : A New Approach to Dimension Reduction

Huang, Dashan - 2020

We propose a novel modification to the popular principal component analysis (PCA) by scaling each predictor with its predictive slope on the target to be forecasted. Unlike the PCA that maximizes the common variation of predictors, our scaled PCA, sPCA, puts more weights on those predictors that...

Mathematization, Not Measurement : A Critique of Stevens’ Scales of Measurement

Thomas, M. A. - 2020

Stevens redefined measurement as “the assignment of numerals to objects and events according to a rule.” Using this … definition, he defined four scales of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio) and set out criteria for the … it is not grounded in either science or mathematics and confuses measurement with labeling and mathematization …
