Entrepreneurship Among Married Couples in the United States: A Simultaneous Probit Approach This article proposes a simultaneous probit equation framework to analyse the business ownership patterns of married couples in the United States. A structural model of knowledge spillovers within couples is formulated and estimated. Empirical analysis reveals significant and substantial positive interde...

This paper estimates a tri-variate VAR-GARCH(1,1)-in-mean model to examine linkages between the stock markets of three Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs), specifically the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland, and both the UK and Russia. The adopted framework allows to analyse interdependence by estimating volatility spillovers, and also contagion by testing for possible shifts in th...

Marriage is a ubiquitous social status that consistently is linked to health. Despite this, there has been very little theory development or related research on the extent to which couple members are jointly motivated to and actively engage in health-enhancing behaviors. In this paper we propose an integrative model, based on interdependence theory and communal coping perspectives, that explici...

We model the robustness against random failure or an intentional attack of networks with an arbitrary large-scale structure. We construct a block-based model which incorporates--in a general fashion--both connectivity and interdependence links, as well as arbitrary degree distributions and block correlations. By optimizing the percolation properties of this general class of networks, we identif...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of coordination in business processes by quantifying how the coordination load is affected by changes in task structure and task characteristics. Design/methodology/approach – A model is presented that quantifies the amount of coordination work as a function of the task characteristics analyzability and variability and th...

Although research has shown links between borderline personality and intimate partner violence (IPV), few studies have examined how each partner's personality traits may influence the other's behavior (Hines, 2008). This study incorporated dimensional assessments of borderline personality organization (BPO) in both partners into a dyadic model that examined associations with IPV. In a community...

Interdependence—i.e., that the outcomes in or actions or choices of some units depend on those in/of others—is substantively and theoretically ubiquitous in and central to binary outcomes of interest across the social sciences. Most empirical applications omit interdependence, however; even theoretical and substantive discussion usually ignores it. Moreover, in the few contexts where spatial in...

The speed-traffi c fl ow density interdependence diagram has a number of varia ons, star ng with the theore cal model, through various empirical models that were developed and models based on actual research done on traffi c fl ow. The func onal interdependence is obtained using the Sugeno fuzzy logic system, where representa ve values proposed in HCM 2010 have been adopted as parameters of out...

Inference of user context information, including user’s gender, age, marital status, location and so on, has been proven to be valuable for building context aware recommender system. However, prevalent existing studies on user context inference have two shortcommings: 1. focusing on only a single data source (e.g. Internet browsing logs, or mobile call records), and 2. ignoring the interdepende...
