The many transitory changes in China have raised the intensity level of competition among construction firms. Despite having a high growth economy, some construction firms continue to suffer from low profitability. Meanwhile, practical cases and empirical findings related to Chinese construction...

Regression models are proposed for joint analysis of Poisson and continuous longitudinal data with nonignorable missing values under fully parametric framework. Our primary interest is to evaluate the influence of the covariates on both Poisson and continuous responses. First, we form the full...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine a series of environmental factors and industrial conditions governing the construction industry in China. The outcome of this part of the analysis sheds light on the development of appropriate competitive strategies and important resources and...

In missing data analysis, there is often a need to assess the sensitivity of key inferences to departures from untestable assumptions regarding the missing data process. Such sensitivity analysis often requires specifying a missing data model that commonly assumes parametric functional forms for...

Using a unique panel dataset and a new model, this article investigates the dynamic effects of counterfeit sales on authentic-product price dynamics. We propose a Bayesian random-changepoint simultaneous equation model that simultaneously takes into account three important features in empirical...

Copulas are full measures of dependence among random variables. They are increasingly popular among academics and practitioners in financial econometrics for modeling comovements between markets, risk factors, and other relevant variables. A copula's hidden dependence structure that couples a...

The analysis of panel data with non-monotone nonresponse often relies on the critical and untestable assumption of ignorable missingness. It is important to assess the consequences of departures from the ignorability assumption. Non-monotone nonresponse, however, can often make such sensitivity...

Databases play a central role in evidence-based innovations in business, economics, social, and health sciences. In modern business and society, there are rapidly growing demands for constructing analytically valid databases that also are secure and protect sensitive information in order to meet...
