Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming technique for evaluatingthe relative efficiency of a set of Decision Making Units (DMUs) and can also be utilized forsetting target. Target setting is one of the important subjects since according to its resultsefficiency can be increased. An important issue to be currently discussed, is to set targetwhile considering share data. The...

The study attempts to find out the impact of buyback announcement on share price. Paired sample T-test is employed to compare share price before and after the buyback announcement. The analysis of variance is also used to find out whether there is any significant difference among industries in the price change due to buyback announcement. The study is carried out from 1st January 2005 to 31st D...

In this paper, I study dynamic and sequential fair division problems for players with dichotomous preferences and devise a systematic approach of designing efficient, envy-free, and strategy-proof mechanisms for any generic problem. The mechanisms developed here can accommodate common discount factors to represent players’ time preferences between different periods. I also show that the mechani...

E xecutive compensation is a topic that has received attention both in the media and the academic literature. This article discusses issues relevant to the construction and interpretation of compensation …gures typically reported in both sources. First, it is not clear what precisely should be included within a measure of the chief executive o¢ cer’s (CEO’s) income tied to his …rm. Second, the ...

The article presents the genesis of spatial shift-share analysis. author focuses on links versions analysis with classical one, which is not just a starting point for them from historical view, but retains status their constituent element. describes that integrate spatially lagged variables into version and keep national economy as reference, used in conjunction one terms content defines neighb...

a r t i c l e i n f o In this paper, I investigate the determinants of price differences in the shares of cross-listed firms in domestic and foreign markets. Diverging from the literature in this field, I introduce a methodology that is independent of any specific form of utility function. My theoretical analysis indicates that investment opportunities and consumption growth cause price dispari...

The objective of this paper is to present a way to incorporate sectoral structure within the measures of regional growth provided by the traditional shift-share analysis. The new tool makes it possible to considerer in the decomposition analysis three new effects: sectoral national effect, sectoral structural effect, and sectoral differential effect. To illustrate the analysis of sectoral struc...

Since 1983 the US Central Intelligence Agency has defined terrorism as “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience.” Compared to the many dangers facing the US today, the threat of terrorism is relatively small. Nonetheless, at nearly all levels of US society the res...

We investigate the complexity of the tree share model of Dockins et al., which is used to reason about shared ownership of resources in concurrent programs. We obtain the precise Berman complexity for the first-order theory of the Boolean algebra of tree shares with constants, which is STA(∗, 2 O(1) , n)-complete. For the first-order theory over the “relativization” multiplication operator on t...
