This paper studies the fault detection problem of linear periodic systems. The aim is to design residual generators, which deliver a residual signal fully decoupled from unknown disturbances. First, a periodic parity relation based full decoupling residual generator with a periodic varying parity vector is designed. Then, a periodic observer based full decoupling residual generator is obtained....

This paper proposes a game theoretic formulation of the fault detection problem, in a Bayesian setting, in the presence of nuisance parameters. Solutions are characterized and an illustrative example is provided in the linear frame.

In this paper, we use a detailed plant-level dataset to study the effect of two reforms aimed at increasing product market competition in India – liberalization of foreign direct investment (FDI) and reduction in tariff rates. First, we examine the effect of the liberalization policies on mean plant-level productivity in the liberalized industries. We find a 23% increase in productivity level f...

This study distinguishes multinational firm (MNE) technology-spillover from learning effects. Whenever learning takes time, the model predicts that foreign investors deduct the economic value of learning from wages of inexperienced workers and add it to experienced ones to prevent them from moving to local competitors. Hence, the national wage bill is unaffected by the presence of MNEs. In cont...

Abstrac tThe paper presents the application of multiple classifiers to increase the accuracy of the fault detection module. The structure of the module is presented with the applied voting mechanisms. The classifiers implemented to the fault detection operation are briefly described. Issues of the practical implementation are considered. The scheme is used in the diagnostics of the analog part ...

The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of a firm’s strategy to invest in a conflict location. To the best of our knowledge, this has not been done before. We examine this using a standard model of international business, overlaid with the fundamental approach to corporate social responsibility. We start with the population of multinationals who have chosen to invest in low inc...

This paper deals with the Robust Fault Detection (RFD) problem for multilinear affine uncertain systems and proposes an approach to solve it. Convex Minkowski combinations are used to compute as precisely as possible uncertainty sets according to the parameters variations in a fault-free context. Faults to be detected are characterized either by a parameter change outside its definition interva...

This paper uses regional panel data to investigate the mechanism of how FDI has contributed to China’s regional development through quantifying regional marketization level. It is found that FDI inflow generates a demonstration effect in identifying regional market conditions for investment in fixed assets and hence affects industrial location. In addition, its effects on regional export and re...
