This study investigates the influence Tech SMEs(small and medium sized enterprises)policy on enterprise growth. This paper builds a concept model on basis of prior research. Two constructs are introduced. They are enterprise policies and enterprise growth factors. Specifically, the objective of the study is to examine the influence enterprise policies on enterprise growth. A quantitative questionnaire...
The positive feedback of e-WOM is considered to be the higher the better. This study tries to discuss how the different positive feedbacks will affect credibility of e-WOM when fake information exists. In fact, authenticity has significant impact on customers' purchase decision and the positive feedback is not the higher the better.
Feedback trading is an irrational trading activity that making investment decisions only based on past changes in asset prices' movement. Based on the stock index futures daily returns data, this paper estimates the feedback trading in nine Asian stock index futures markets using a TGARCH-based asymmetric feedback trading model. This paper also discusses the relationship between the feedback trading...
The high housing price is becoming more and more important to economical development and people's living standard. This article introduces spatial economics to study Chinese provincial housing price and its determinant factors. The paper uses the Moran's I statistic to test housing price's spatial autocorrelation, and uses spatial panel data model to estimate the spatial error autocorrelation specification...
In stock networks analysis sub-dominant ultrametric (SDU) is used to understand the economic hierarchical clustering among stocks. There are two different approaches to obtain SDU. First, which is usually used in stock networks analysis, is to construct a minimal spanning tree (MST) by using Kruskal's algorithm or Prim's and then derive the SDU. The second approach is to construct directly the SDU...
Attempts to test the impact of different boardroom characteristics relative to Triple-Bottom Line (TBL) performance in Malaysia has been limited. This study will offer such insights using a relatively new dataset from the Asian Sustainability Rating Index 2009. Using correlation tools, the study found no relationship between board characteristics and TBL performance, thus, this suggests that alternative...
The purpose of this study is to examine whether ownership structure, i.e. family firms, influences firms' audit risks, and whether the presence of a high proportion of financial experts on the audit committee of family firms would reduce the perceived inherent risk of auditors. In this study, the sample consists of balance panel data of 2,165 firm-year observations of Malaysian non-financial publicly...
Nowadays the character of self-organized network is widely presented in real world systems and such systems can be described by complex self-organized network. However, some economic networks especially industrial networks in a region are limited and these networks maybe possess more character of small-world network and are evolving to scale-free network. In this paper, we propose two classes of non-growing...
The evaluation of public service performance plays a significant part in government's performance management system. It is the mechanism of satisfying the public demands and constructing the service-oriented society. However, at present there are still some of the traditional, backward management philosophy and value orientation existing, which are restricting the implementation of public service...
This paper develops a methodology to aggregate the market, credit and operational risk and derive the economic capital. While the data is obtained by mapping the profit & loss items of income statement into risk types, the dependence structure between the risks is modeled through the combination of mutual information and copulas, which enables to capture both linear and non-linear dependence...
Much literature finds that the skewness in the return distribution is negatively correlated with the risk premium coefficient, and speculation is the reason for the skewness in the return distribution. As a further research, this paper, first taking up the time-varying property of the risk premium coefficient, proposes a GARCHS-M Model with a time-varying coefficient of the risk premium for an empirical...
After the subprime crisis, banks have paid intense attention to credit portfolio concentration, for risk reduction or controlling the difference between regulatory capital and economic capital. So this paper teases out three major credit portfolio concentration risk measurement models, and makes a detailed comparative and applicable analysis of them, in order to provide a theoretical reference for...
In order to avoid the drawbacks of current FA-DEA method, this paper put forward an improved method based on classification of original indexes to extract new indexes according to the weighting of variance contribution, which has considered the information redundancy when there is high correlation of indexes, abnormal value of similar indexes, as well as the difference of each common factor in information...
This paper first proposes the marine economic comprehensive competitiveness in coastal regions in China, and then evaluates the marine economic comprehensive competitiveness based on factor analysis and cluster analysis. The results illustrate that the factor scores of Guangdong, Shandong, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Liaoning and Fujian are much greater than 0, indicating the competitiveness of the coastal...
In this paper we present some recent work we performed on the socio-economic impact of fibre access networks (FTTH/FTTx). We summarise some results from a pre-study on the effects of fibre deployments in Sweden. Specifically, we list and quantify savings in data and telecommunications costs for Swedish local governments, estimate the added values for fibre-connected citizens, and present a multivariate...
Mobile devices are gaining popularity due to their increasing functionality and usability, and their location and time independence. Consequently mobile technology has become important for both learners and educational institutions. In this paper, we examine usage behavior of mobile and web users within a learning management system (LMS). After motivating the topic and briefly sketching related work,...
This work provides a game theoretic framework through which one can study the different trust and mitigation strategies a decision maker can employ when soliciting advice or input from a potentially self-interested third-party. The framework supports a single decision maker's interacting with an arbitrary number of either honest or malicious (and malicious in varying ways) advisors. We include some...
Eco-innovation (EI) pursues to bring environmental and economic win-win outcomes, including competitive performance and environmental performance, which possess the property of double externality and to present multi-motivations. Based on empirical analyses of EI on 246 enterprises in China, the econometric estimations show that the impact of different motivations on EI performance. In this study,...
According to the analysis of the mechanism of road network construction and regional socio-economic development, a method of adaptability evaluation was proposed to assess the road network in economic circle. A new gray correlation analysis method based on DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) was presented to evaluate the regional road network. It integrated favorable aspects of both DEA and gray correlation...
This paper describes a multivariate statistical analysis technique for enterprises economic efficiency assessment. Using this method to provide a scientific basis for enterprises decision-making is of great significance to improving enterprises economic performance.As the main two methods of multivariate statistical, principal component analysis and cluster analysis methods have been applied in the...
