Our previous human fMRI study found brain activations correlated with tactile stickiness perception using the uni-variate general linear model (GLM) (Yeon et al., 2017). Here, we conducted an in-depth investigation on neural correlates of sticky sensations by employing a multivoxel pattern analysis (MVPA) on the same dataset. In particular, we statistically compared multi-variate neural activit...

An increasing literature has been concerned that the dynamics of the economy keeps switching and that, in particular, it is important to allow time variation in the degree of Calvo stickiness. We investigate this with a Markov-switching Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model and show that there is little gain when allowing for such time variation. As a result we recommend to use a constan...

This study was aimed at developing a method for measuring the relationship between intellectual capital and project manager competencies. Intellectual capital consist human capital, structural capital and relational capital. Project manager competencies have been evaluated based on IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB) and Project Manager Competency Development Framework (PMCDF) includes knowledge, sk...

In this paper we study the edge-thickness and the clique-thickness of a graph. The edge-thickness of a graph is defined as the thickness of the family of edges. The clique-thickness of a graph is defined as the thickness of the family of maximal cliques. Edges and maximal cliques of a graph are both considered as a collection of subsets of the vertex set. On one hand, we introduce a new paramet...

Following a recession, the aggregate labor market is slack–employment remains below normal and recruiting efforts of employers, as measured by help-wanted advertising and vacancies, are low. A model of matching friction explains the qualitative responses of the labor market to adverse shocks, but requires implausibly large shocks to account for the magnitude of observed fluctuations. The incorp...

This study aims to provide empirical evidence about the relationship between intellectual capital and cost stickiness. Intellectual Capital has been widely studied its effect on company performance, but still not much behavior. in this uses Modified Value Added (MVAIC) approach. The population were all manufacturing companies listed Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) 2017 - 2018. sample was 119 whi...

Mobile applications (apps) have transformed the way firms and consumers communicate with each other, and have now become integral to firms’ marketing strategies. However, in a marketplace characterized by myriad choices, one of the biggest challenges that Marketers face is to foster continued and frequent use, or stickiness. This brings forth two important questions: what factors affect consume...
