This study performs an empirical analysis on the relationship between labour cost stickiness and decrease in employment protection Spanish reforms 2010 2012. Following these reforms, sticky behaviour of costs substantially decreased with respect to pre-reform period. All constituents total followed a similar pattern: wages, social security contributions number employees. Results are robust diff...

Budding viruses face a trade-off: virions need to efficiently attach to and enter uninfected cells while newly generated virions need to efficiently detach from infected cells. The right balance between attachment and detachment-the right amount of stickiness-is needed for maximum fitness. Here, we design and analyse a mathematical model to study in detail the impact of attachment and detachmen...

In sticky price models with endogenous investment, virtually all monetary policy rules that set a nominal interest rate in response solely to future inflation induce real indeterminacy of equilibrium. Applying the Samuelson-Farebrother conditions, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for local real determinacy, which reveals that increasing price stickiness or letting policy respond a...

These past few years have seen a rapid explosion of the number of online retailers as well as online buyers. Comparable growth in sellers and buyers means that Internet retailers have to understand how to make customers choose them over the competitors and make customers stick to their stores. The objective of this study was to build a model that will show what aspects affect customer preferenc...

Antiplatelet serum (APS) induced an increase in the stickiness of white cells which manifests itself in the increase in number of granulocytes rolling along or sticking to the venous endothelium. Lidocaine treatment prevented the increased stickiness of white cells and, at the same time, the microvascular haemorrhage developing after APS. It can be assumed that increased stickiness of white cel...

In a study relating platelet stickiness, plasma fibrinogen and fibrinolysis to fasting plasma lipids in patients with atherosclerosis of the lower limbs, a significant correlation has been observed between platelet stickiness and plasma phospholipid levels. The possible mechanisms are discussed. No other correlation is observed. Fasting levels of plasma fibrinogen were raised, while levels of p...

Rapid explosion of the number of online retailers as well as online customers has been observed in these past few years. Comparable growth in sellers and buyers means that Internet retailers have to understand how to make customers prefer them to the competitors and make the customers loyal to their stores. Previous structural equation modeling study of customer preference and stickiness in onl...

Website service quality has been considered to be important to increase users’ stickiness toward website in online shopping context. However, the underlying mechanism through which website service quality can influence shopping website stickiness remains unclear. In this study, the concept of website involvement was introduced to explain why people tend to favor sticking a shopping website. Als...

In this paper, we introduce the stickiness coefficient, a summary statistic for time-course and longitudinal data, which is designed to characterize the time dynamics of such data. The stickiness coefficient provides a simple, intuitive and informative measure that captures key information contained in time-course data. Under the assumption that the data are generated by the trajectories of a s...
