This paper presents the post-editing features of machine translation (MT) system Smartling used to translate learning content MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) Coursera. Most Coursera is delivered in English, which one reasons for low uptake these courses Lithuania. With growing demand online resources, need into Lithuanian has become evident and MT systems are increasingly that purpose. descri...

The city gas sector in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, consists five locally monopolized companies. As penetration reaches 98% and as cooking fuel heating is being converted to electricity district system, respectively, need redefine role raised. In this respect, study aims analyze economies scale using translog variable cost function model over period 2008–2020 compute minimum efficient sca...

this paper shows the role of the general dynamic model in empirical research of production technology in agriculture. the model is a first order autoregressive multivariate specification, first developed by anderson and blundell. this model is general enough to nest several simpler dynamic as well as static models within it. therefore, it provides a framework for applying classical testing ...

technical and scale efficiencies of cotton farms, in khorasan province, were estimated through the parametric approach during the period 2000-2003. efficiency was estimated through stochastic translog frontier production function based on panel data. results indicated that technical efficiency wa rated as less than scale efficiency. means of technical and scale efficiency were found to be 63 an...

sensitivity analysis with respect to the functional forms provides estimates of the uncertainties involved in choosing a specific functional structure. this is vital in cge modeling where it is conventional to take elasticities from other studies. in the present study, the robustness of model results with respect to the functional form is checked. in one scenario, the production function is rep...

the current study attempted to investigate the mathematical sturcuture of cost function of irrigated wheat crop in kurdistan province. the methodolgy is based on duality assumption. the sample size is 257 farmers for the agricultural year 2011-2012.data was collected byinterviewwith farmers and writing writerquestionnaire.the multistage cluster random sampling used. the results showed that, the...

This paper investigates ESG from the perspective of changes in input elasticities substitution and complementarity. Rather than compute these cost function, we them Input Distance Function (IDF). Our data are Refinitiv Eikon Datastream database. We focus on US economy due to her global role world hence spillover effects uncertainties rest world. The consist 5,798 companies comprising 38 industr...

Two econometric issues arise in the estimation of complete systems of producer or consumer demands when many non-negativity constraints are binding for a large share of observations, as frequently occurs with micro-level data. The rst is computational. The econometric model is essentially an endogenous switching regimes model which requires the evaluation of multivariate probability integrals. ...

What Factors Affect Doctors’ Hours Decisions: Comparing Structural Discrete Choice and Reduced-Form Approaches Few papers examine the pecuniary and non-pecuniary determinants of doctors’ labour supply despite substantial predicted shortages in many OECD countries. We contribute to the literature by applying both a structural discrete choice and a reduced-form approach. Using detailed survey dat...
