In this article we give a necessary and su±cient condition for a selfnormalized weak invariance principle, in the case of a strictly stationary Á-mixing sequence fXjgj¸1. This is obtained under the assumptions that the function L(x) = EX2 1 1fjX1·xg is slowly varying at 1 and the mixing...

In this paper we study strong approximations (invariance principles) of the sequential uniform and general Bahadur-Kiefer processes of long-range dependent sequences. We also investigate the strong and weak asymptotic behavior of the sequential Vervaat process, i.e., the integrated sequential...

In this paper, a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis is implemented for the project of Yueyang-Zhuzhou Oil Product Pipeline, considering all members of society as whole. We focus on the social welfare aspects of the project as well as the project's risk resistance capacity.

After reviewing some basic self-enforcing labour contracts models, we expose how self-enforcing labour market theory can help explain some important dynamic properties of key macroeconomic variables. Calmès (1999, 2003) detail how self-enforcing labour contracts improve the way macroeconomic...

Since financial institutions are subjected to increasingly tighter requirements regarding the way they conduct their loan business, we could assume that built-in regulatory pressures induce them to adopt collective business strategies, with the unintended consequence of persistently weakening...

We revisit the well-known weekend anomaly (Gibbons and Hess, 1981; Harris, 1986; Smirlock and Straks, 1986; Connolly, 1989; Giovanis, 2010) using an established macroeconometric technique known as spectral analysis (Granger, 1964; Sargent, 1987). Our findings show that using regression analysis with dichotomous...

Ce document de travail pour objectif de montrer comment le gestionnaire engagé dans une décision courageuse régule ses émotions. À partir d’une recherche empirique réalisée auprès de gestionnaires ayant réalisé des projets de fusion d’entreprises, nous avons réalisé une...

Malgré le nombre grandissant de publications sur l’implémentation de la gestion de projet et sa valeur pour les organisations, il y a peu d’études de cas explorant la valeur de l’implémentation de la gestion de projet dans le contexte particulier des instituts de recherche. Cette...

This article is about the essence of managerial talent. It presents the case-study of Richard Branson, who is a talented project manager by all standards. The existing findings, which explain the essence of managerial talent, will be discussed. The Gallup organization’s study of more than...

Cet article traite le problème d’accélération de projets en mettant l’emphase sur le compromis durée/coût. En effet, l’accélération de projets demeure un des moyens privilégié par les gestionnaires pour satisfaire aux besoins des promoteurs et des clients lorsque les désirs de...
