Nonparametric efficiency analysis: A multivariate conditional quantile approach

This paper focuses on nonparametric efficiency analysis based on robust estimation of partial frontiers in a complete multivariate setup (multiple inputs and multiple outputs). It introduces a-quantile efficiency scores. A nonparametric estimator is proposed achieving strong consistency and asymptotic normality. Then if a increases to one as a function of the sample size we recover the properti...

Computerized Linking of Capital Markets - A Viable Approach

Interlinking capital markets has always been an interesting issue since it not only provides more investment opportunities but also results in reduction of the risk of market volatility due to increase in the size of market. However, global and local barriers like different currencies, legal issues, settlement risks and costs prevent such interlink age to take place efficiently. In this paper, ...

Survey of Theileria lestoquardi antibodies among Sudanese sheep.

The prevalence of Theileria lestoquardi antibodies in Sudanese sheep from nine geographical areas in Sudan was determined using indirect fluorescent antibody "IFA" test. Out of 315 samples examined, 51 (16.2%) were found positive and ranged between 23.4% in River Nile State and 10% in Kasala and Darfour Provinces with an overall prevalence of 16.2% indicating widespread distribution of the infe...
