Recovering Information from Incremental Responses

Some yields analysed and reported in the literature have been adjusted by subtracting a control. It is found that full information can be recovered for estimable parameters and the error variance using these incremental responses, in comparison with unadjusted data. These findings are of practical importance, and they supplement materials usually found in a graduate course in linear inference. The issues are illustrated using a case study from the literature.     

Structural and Behavioural Changes in the Short TermPreventive Check in the Northwest Balkans in the 18th and19th Centuries

Fertility responded negatively to grain insufficiency(proxied by grain price increases), and mortality respondedpositively in Croatia-Slavonia-Srem in the 18thand 19th centuries, as in most of Europe. Shiftsin the intensity and timing of these responsesoccurred over time as social and economic structureschanged. Shifts in the elasticity of fertility withrespect to grain supply inversely mimic and lagchanges in the elasticity of mortality. Both appear tobe induced by increasing land shortage, the collapseof feudalism, and differences in the patterns ofadjustment to post-feudal conditions among former civiland military serfs. Generally, responses are strongerfor civil and former civil serfs, who may have been inless favourable economic circumstances than themilitary. Fertility responses in the year of a priceshock come to dominate those in the year following,suggesting a shift from contraception to abortion aseconomic and social conditions apparently worsened andstrategies of control intensified. Analysis of monthlyresponses supports the conjecture based on the annualresponses. The shift to the preventive check and strength of thepreventive check in the same year as the price shockis unusual in Europe and beyond. Analysis is based on25 parishes and employs lagged annual and monthly timeseries analysis with corrections for autocorrelation,in combination with ethnographic and historical data.

考虑噪声因子的参数和公差经济性设计策略

基于并行工程思想的参数和公差经济性设计,以成本为优化目标来确定最优的设计参数和公差范围.就并行参数和公差设计通过双响应曲面均值和方差模型实现其稳健性,本文提出了包含噪声因子的响应曲面建模策略,应用这一模型将参数和公差同时优化.该参数和公差经济性设计优化模型以质量损失和制造成本之和为目标函数,以过程方差置信域为约束.实例结果表明,在双响应曲面方法中,对均值设置偏倚量比其刚性约束具有较大的成本优势,在不降低稳健性的前提下引入偏倚可以降低成本.面向噪声因子的设计策略其成本低于基于双响应的有偏倚的设计,说明考虑噪声因子的设计是最有效的.

Realized GAS-GARCH及其在VaR预测中的应用

论文提出了新的波动率模型Realized GAS-GARCH,并推导了该模型的QMLE参数估计.该模型结合了Generalized Autoregressive Score (GAS)模型的基本思路,把Realized GARCH 模型扩展到包含厚尾分布的情形,并采用了与厚尾分布参数相依的冲击响应函数.与简单的厚尾分布扩展模型相比,这种设定对于回报率中的极端值更加稳健.在基于沪深300指数高频数据的实证结果中,使用GAS冲击响应函数的模型对“在险价值”VaR的预测能力显著的超过了传统的厚尾Realized GARCH模型.     

Individual and situational correlates of motivation for skills upgrading: an empirical study

The present research examines the tenability of a number of factors thought to precede an individual's motivation for skills upgrading. Because motivation for skills upgrading is instrumental to training success and is highly malleable, knowing the factors that precede motivation for skills upgrading would help managers and policy makers a great deal in formulating strategies to raise the competitiveness of the workforce. We derive several testable hypotheses from the existing literature and empirically verify the selected antecedents of motivation for skills upgrading. Results based on responses from 413 employees suggest that an individual's attitude towards skills upgrading, self-efficacy, usefulness of skills upgrading, health condition and long-term orientation are positively related to motivation for skills upgrading. Implications for policy makers, managers and researchers are discussed.
