Relationship between Entrepreneurship and Unemployment: The Case of Georgia
Get PDFThe research paper employs the regression analysis of two variables entrepreneurship and unemployment rate from year 2003 to 2013. Entrepreneurship development as a phenomena generating jobs plays a vital role in particular to alleviate high unemployment level in countries like Georgia. It concludes that for Georgia a country in transition entrepreneurship development plays a vital role for solving the unemployment problem. The analyses of two effects “Schumpeter” and “Refugee” have been tested. The effect of entrepreneurship has been found to be statistically significant
Entrepreneurship as a Determinant of FDI in Case of Georgia
Get PDFAttraction of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is the one of the main priorities for Georgia. Liberal investment environment andequal approach to local and foreign investors makes country as an attractive destination for FDI. The paper focuses on relationbetween entrepreneurship and FDI in case of Georgia, to find out the role that entrepreneurship takes as a determinant of FDI.The paper empirically proves that in order to attract FDI, development of entrepreneship is vital
The Economic Factors Affecting Emigration Process in Georgia
Get PDFThe problem of emigration become one of the vital problem not only in Georgia but in all developing countries. The aim of this paper is to analyses the economic factors that are affecting to this process in Georgia. The paper is based on the regression analysis between economic variables and the level of emigration between years of 2000 to 2014.Regression analysis modelshows 80, 7 percent significance level of economic indicators.For the economic reason the emigration disposition is still high in the population of Georgia. Despite the fact that the intensity of stationary emigration in recent years fall, the level of illegal emigration is still high. The possible further emigration process would worsen the demographic situation in Georgia
Empirical Analysis of Georgian Trade Pattern: Gravity Model
Get PDFThis paper investigates and analyzes the Georgia’s data of trade, export and import. The data cover the periods from 2000 to 2011 using the panel data gravity model of trade. For this purpose the large country sample and long time series and a balanced data have been used. The findings through results of analysis revealed that Georgia’s trade is positively determined by the size of the economies, GDP per capita, and common history found to be significant factors influencing Georgia’s trade pattern. The results also confirm the hypothesis that foreign direct investment (FDI) is positively correlated with trade
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
