The purpose of this article is to generate mixed-level unbalanced or non-U-type supersaturated designs using computer intensive procedures. Lower bounds to modified E(fUNOD) and criteria have been used to measure the efficiency of the generated non-U-type mixed-level supersaturated designs. The...

Chan et al. (1998a) obtained A-optimal designs for an additive quadratic mixture model for q=3 mixture components. In this paper, we obtain the A-optimal designs for an additive cubic model for q=3 mixture components using the class of symmetric weighted centroid designs based on barycentres of...

The literature on competition policy in emerging markets is divided into two conflicting schools of thought. One school argues in favour of convergence with the efficiency-based policy, framework in advanced countries. The other school advocates a broad competition policy specific to the...

Quality of institutions has been found to positively affect Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows. This, however, fails to explain the flow of FDI into countries with poor quality of institutions like India and China. This article shows that FDI flows in the form of cross-border mergers and...
