In this paper we show that the widely used normalization constraint SUM(i=1,n) wi = 1 does not apply to the priority … of this type of normalization may lead to unsatisfactory results and we give some examples from the literature. Then, we … propose an alternative normalization procedure which is compatible with additive transitivity and leads to better results. …

Some recent work on economic growth considers the aggregate elasticity of substitution between capital and labor as a measure of economic flexibility. It is thought to depend on technological and institutional determinants. I study how a openness to trade affects the aggregate elasticity of...

In this paper we propose an approach to Social Network Analysis (SNA) based on fuzzy m-ary adjacency relations. In particular, we show that the dimension of the analysis can naturally be increased and interesting results can be derived. Therefore, fuzzy m-ary adjacency relations can be computed...

Normalization is an important step in the analysis of microarray data of transcription profiles as systematic non … normalization often assume that there are few or symmetric differential expression, but this assumption does not always hold …. Alternatively, non-differentially expressed genes may be used for array normalization. However, it is unknown at the outset which …

The double-dividend hypothesisclaims that green taxes will both improve the environment andreduce the distortions of existing taxes. According to the earlierliterature on the double dividend the tax rate for pollutinggoods should be higher than the Pigovian tax which fully internalizesthe...

Information obtained by microarray studies frequently cause discrepancies between projects, laboratories and/or even repeated experiments. Such inconsistencies may be due to the lack of generality in the intellectual frameworks that form the basis for understanding the data. This article...

Implementing international and domestic accounting standards is very difficult. This calls for a discussion referring to the opportunity of adopting standards from other cultures- mentalities deeply rooted into principles- hence the difficulty to implement. Implementing IFRS means more than a...
