Purpose – This study aims to explore the state of environmental management accounting practice and the motivations for its use with a view to improving waste and recycling management by local government. The focus is on practice in local governments situated in the state of New South Wales...

This paper is concerned with the problem of the delay-dependent robust stability of neutral systems with mixed delays and time-varying structured uncertainties. By considering the cross-terms with additional design parameters, a complete form of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is constructed....

This paper is concerned with the delay-dependent stability for neutral systems with equivalent delays and norm-bounded uncertainties. Through constructing a new augmented LKF and proving its positive definiteness, introducing some slack matrices and using integral inequality, the improved...

I conduct a randomized information experiment to study the response of individual expectations to the views of professional forecasters. In the experiment, respondents are randomly divided into two groups to receive truthful but different professional forecasts of nationwide house prices. I find...

A key challenge for estimating the epidemiological parameters of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan is the discrepancy between the officially reported number of infections and the true number of infections. A common approach to tackling the challenge is to use the number of infections exported from...

The adaptive lasso is a model selection method shown to be both consistent in variable selection and asymptotically normal in coefficient estimation. The actual variable selection performance of the adaptive lasso depends on the weight used. It turns out that the weight assignment using the OLS...

Purpose – Previous research in lease finance and evaluation has given little consideration to environmental factors. The purpose of this paper is to add to the literature by analysing how leasing provides a more attractive option than selling and extended producer responsibility (EPR) in...
