Impact of Macroeconomic Factors on Bank's Fee Income : Evidence from Citibank in Taiwan Branch
No full text金融自由化、國際化、多元化已是全球金融業不可抵擋的趨勢。近來政府為因應國人對多元化金融商品的需求，對於金融機構的管制日趨放鬆，國內銀行所經營的業務類型朝向多元化發展，所推出的金融商品與服務日新月異，手續費收入佔銀行業營收比逐年增加，此亦是未來之趨勢，因此找出顯著影響銀行業手續費收入之因素且瞭解其領先落後與因果關係為預測銀行業營收時之重要議題。
美商花旗銀行為臺灣地區於銀行業手續費收入表現最為突出的銀行之一，因此本研究選取美商花旗銀行作為代表銀行業之分析標的，由1996年1月至2009年7月之樣本資料，以Granger因果關係、向量自我迴歸模型、共整合檢定、與複迴歸模型進行實證分析，找出顯著影響銀行業手續費收入之因素，最後再以多種預測方法並配合檢定，找出可供銀行業預測手續費收入之模型。
實證結果指出，本研究所選取之變數包括中央銀行準備貨幣、證券金融公司資產總額、金融機構信託資金、美元10天買入匯率、棉花-利物浦棉花指數、M2餘額、商業本票初級市場1-30天利率、美國NASDAQ指數皆對花旗在臺分行手續費收入有顯著影響，顯示銀行業手續費收入與總體經濟因素密切相關。預測方法中，採Recursive forecast之預測值顯著準確於其他方法。於共整合檢定中，發現花旗在臺分行手續費收入與中央銀行庫存現金、金融機構信託資金、及金融保險受雇員工每人每月平均薪資皆具有共整合關係。Financial liberalization, internationalization and diversification have become a trend in global financial industry. Government accelerates the footsteps of financial liberalization to release numerous financial restrictions gradually due to strong demand for various financial products and service in the country. Domestic banks also tend to diversify the business types and innovate new financial products and service to meet the demand. The proportion of fee income to total revenues in banks arose and would become more expansive continually. It is an important issue to find out the major factors which determine the fee income of banks.
The paper employs the data from Citibank N.A., Taiwan branch, as a benchmark to represent the bank industry due to fee income is one of most outstanding banks in Taiwan, and also employs some major macroeconomic factors from Jan. ’96 to Jul. ‘09 to be the explanatory variables. By Granger causality, vector autoregressive model, cointegration test, multiple regression analysis, and numerous testing methods, the paper constructs an econometric model to predict the fee income of banks.
By empirical results, Central Bank Cash in Vaults, Total Asset of Securities Finance Companies, Trust Funds of Financial Institutions, USD 10 days Quotes (Buy), Cotton Liverpool Index, Money Supply (M2), Primary Market Rate of Commercial Paper (1-30 Days), and NASDAQ Index contributed significant to the fee income of Citibank N.A., Taiwan branch. In numerous forecasting methods, the results point out the Recursive forecast is a better forecast method. In cointegration test, the results show the fee income of Citibank N.A., Taiwan branch, cointegrate with Central Bank Cash in Vaults, Trust Funds of Financial Institutions, and Average Monthly Earnings Per Employee (Financial Industries)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
