While many firms have used advancements in information and communication technology to optimize their supply chain and primary processes, there is still a substantial efficiency potential associated with financial processes. A main hypothesis is that an industrialization of the financial chain by standardizing as well as internal and external systems integration can offer great efficiency poten...

Today, decrease of bureaucrasy in administrative system is considered as a main factor for efficiency in these systems. This policy has been offered by the Ministry of Health and Medical Training (Education) for applying in the all health care networks of Iran. According to this policy, health center of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiary has executed (carried out) a project in Boroujen health care, sin...

For the renewal risk model with subexponential claim sizes, we establish for the finite time ruin probability a lower asymptotic estimate as initial surplus increases, subject to the demand that it should hold uniformly over all time horizons in an infinite interval. This extends a recent work partly on the topic from the case of Pareto-type claim sizes to the case of subexponential claim sizes...

optimized decision making in the market of stocks and bonds needs utilizing suitable tools and skills in order to choose the best choices for investment. the most important financial information of corporations is their financial reports that help analyzing basics of stocks. current research by basing basic information of corporation’s financial reports, has tried to examine traces of 10 instan...

background hospitals are highly resource-dependent settings, which spend a large proportion of healthcare financial resources. the analysis of hospital efficiency can provide insight into how scarce resources are used to create health values. this study examines the technical efficiency (te) of 12 teaching hospitals affiliated with tehran university of medical sciences (tums) between 1999 and 2...

We generalize an integral representation for the ruin probability in a Crámer-Lundberg risk model with shifted (or also called US-)Pareto claim sizes, obtained by Ramsay [14], to classical Pareto(a) claim size distributions with arbitrary real values a > 1 and derive its asymptotic expansion. Furthermore an integral representation for the tail of compound sums of Pareto-distributed claims is ob...

the investigation of dimensional efficiency for branches of maskan bank in resources collection and facilities allocation: approach of super efficiency model with weight restrictions. the scarcity of financial resources of banks, especially in developing countries like as iran, leads to planning for improving efficiency and productivity. improving efficiency needs to performance measurement and...

I am enormously grateful to Rich Clarida and Jeff Fuhrer for their kind and thoughtful initiative, first in conceiving the idea for this conference and then in organizing it so successfully; to Eric Rosengren and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston for the marvelous hospitality we have all enjoyed these past two days; to the many fine economists who devoted their valuable time to writing papers ...

This paper looks at whether differences in the form of ownership were not the cause of the productivity differences but that these differences were due to individual firm effects. We also want to examine the belief that inefficiency in the Thai financial sector was not one of the causal factors in the currency crisis in 1997 with a high level of overall efficiency and some firms outperforming t...

The tax reform literature, pioneered by Guesnerie [1977], uses static models but implicitly views tax reform as a dynamic process, i.e., as a policy-maker implementing incremental reforms over time. This paper studies tax reform in a dynamic version of the Diamond-Mirrlees-Guesnerie model and focuses on a specific aspect of the dynamic process, namely, the implications for tax reform of agents ...
