Replication Data for: Good Friends versus Best Friends: How Different Types of Political Connection Work in China
No full textThis paper differentiates four mechanisms that link firms' political connections to economic rents and unpack channels through which firms obtain benefits from political ties. Using Chinese public listed firms' land transaction data as well as a comprehensive dataset of their different types of connections, I differentiate how firms': (1) reputation, (2) local political influence, (3) access to information, and (4) institutional embeddedness affect land prices and the ways in which firms purchase land. I find that firms with local political influence enjoy a 31\% land price discount, the largest compared to other types of connections. More importantly, local connections enable firms to enter into auctions in which they can manipulate land prices before and during the auctions, while firms with good reputations benefit only from restricting potential competitors. My findings demonstrate that different types of political connections differ both in the magnitude of their impacts and the mechanisms by which they work
Analysis of the shipping industry’s insurance claims record
No full textThis report provides insights of the Final Year Project topic on The Shipping Industry’s
Claims Records. The students undertaking this project are Chan Chang Qing, Mohamad
Shahril Bin Zainuddin and Wong Yun Kay, and will hereafter be referred to as 'the team'.
Insurance claims have contributed to the rising costs of shipping through increasing insurance
premiums and deductibles. Though the magnitude of insurance cost as part of vessel
operating costs is not as significant as crewing costs, it should not be overlooked by the
industry. Therefore with this background, this research studies and identifies three causes that
contribute to the rising trend of the marine insurance claims, forming the basis of the
literature review. The team will draw conclusions from the literature reviews on how these
causes impact the marine insurance industry, and ultimately, result in increase in shipping
costs.Bachelor of Science (Maritime Studies

Special Issue on Intelligent Energy Solutions to Sustainable Production and Service Automation
No full textEnergy places an important role in a new scale of urbanization, digitization, and industrialization. Going 'energy-efficient' then becomes a major component of the missions for manufacturers and service providers to stay globally competitive. In recent years, the newly emerging intelligent technologies are enhancing the production process and control management in an energy-effective and-efficient manner. In order to apply and implement these innovations, many new challenges and opportunities have emerged and significantly expanded the scopes of typical production and service automation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
