Documenting baye-baye as kakanin in selected town in Iloilo
No full textFull text availableThis study investigated the experiences of Baye-Baye makers and vendors in the different towns in Iloilo, regarding different ingredients, methods and it’s significance in the community. This study specifically aimed to determine the perceptions of different ingredients, methods, and if s significance in making baye-baye as baye-baye makers and vendors in their town. The qualitative research design was adopted, and purposive sampling was used to select 12 respondents who are baye-baye makers and vendors in Santa Barbara, Pavia and Miag-ao with at least 10 years of experience. The study’s instrument was a semi-structured interview in which participants were asked open-ended questions. The study also utilized Focus Group Discussions in delving into their respective answers. The results showed that the most challenging problems the respondents have faced in business are financial and economic challenges, climate change, and personal reasons. Makers/Vendors have been financially challenged to sustain their businesses as prices have increased. Extreme heat made the products spoil easily thus increasing their prices. Furthermore, it is physically demanding because most vendors are elderly and cannot produce as much baye-baye as they used to. Government intervention has also helped these vendors promote their products. Nevertheless the innovation of products, increased government intervention, and production promotion should be strengthened not just for the baye-baye products and also for other kakanins in the long run around the Iloilo province.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Tourism Managemen

Aggregation and the "Random Objective" Justification for Disturbances in Complete Demand Systems
No full textA Bayesian look at diagnostics in the univariate linear model
No full textThis paper develops diagnostics for data thought to be generated in accordance with the general univariate linear model. A first set of diagnostics is developed by considering posterior probabilities of models that dictate which of k observations form a sample of n observations (k < n/2) are spuriously generated, giving rise to the possible outlyingness of the k observations considered. This in turn gives rise to diagnostics to help assess (estimate) the value of k. A second set of diagnostics is found by using the Kullback-Leibler symmetric divergence, which is found to generate measures of outlyingness and influence. Both sets of diagnostics are compared and related to each other and to other diagnostic statistics suggested in the literature. An example to illustrate to the use of these diagnostic procedures is included
Contests with Rank-Order Spillovers
No full textThis paper presents a unified framework for characterizing symmetric equilibrium in simultaneous move, two-player, rank-order contests with complete information, in which each player’s strategy generates direct or indirect affine “spillover” effects that depend on the rank-order of her decision variable. These effects arise in natural interpretations of a number of important economic environments, as well as in classic contests adapted to recent experimental and behavioral models where individuals exhibit inequality aversion or regret. We provide the closed-form solution for the symmetric Nash equilibria of this class of games, and show how it can be used to directly solve for equilibrium behavior in auctions, pricing games, tournaments, R&D races, models of litigation, and a host of other contests.

Diese Externalität hängt entscheidend von der Rangfolge der Entscheidungsvariablen ab. Solche Effekte finden sich in einer Vielzahl wichtiger ökonomischer Problemstellungen. Auch typische Wettkämpfe können in diesem Rahmen analysiert werden, wenn sie im Sinne jüngster experimenteller und verhaltensorientierter Modelle angepasst werden und angenommen wird, dass Individuen eine Abneigung gegen Ungleichheit haben oder Bedauern empfinden, falls sie einen unnötig hohen Einsatz gewählt haben. Wir geben das symmetrische Nash- Gleichgewicht für diese Klasse von Spielen an und zeigen, wie es direkt angewendet werden kann, um das gleichgewichtige Verhalten in Auktionen, Preissetzungsspielen, Wettkämpfen, Wettbewerb um Forschung und Entwicklung, Modellen für Rechtsstreitigkeiten und einer Reihe weiterer Wettkämpfe zu analysieren.
Comparing probabilistic methods for outlier detection
No full textThis paper compares the use of two posterior probability methods to deal with outliers in linear models. We show that putting together diagnostics that come from the mean-shift and variance-shift models yields a procedure that seems to be more effective than the use of probabilities computed from the posterior distributions of actual realized residuals. The relation of the suggested procedure to the use of a certain predictive distribution for diagnostics is derived
