THE ANALYSIS OF THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE LEVEL OF THE BANK FEES FOR CARDS AND THE NUMBER OF ACTIVE CARDS, CONDUCTED WITH THE HELP OF THE „PEARSON†COEFFICIENT
Get PDFThe evolution of human society in all areas, and especially the economic field,required the banking offer to adapt to new requirements, which called for the modernization andthe development of the services provided by the bank to its customers, but also becoming close tothem. The goal we set with this article is to examine in terms of methodology the correlation between thenumber of active cards and the fees level with PEARSON coefficient. It is study the level of feespracticed by Raiffeisen Bank is/ is not greatly influenced (depend or doesn’t depend) by the numberof active cards, meaning there are other factors influencing the fees levels.transactions, active cards, cards, Pearson coefficient.
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
Śledzenie czynników wpływających na ewoluację pracowników banku
No full textThe present paper analyses the factors that influence the number of employees in the banking system. The aim of our research was to determine the influence of bank profitability (ROA), the number of branches and the number of ATM machines per 100.000 adults on evolution of the number of employees in the Central and Est European banking system (11 countries) and compare with Romanian banking system. It was used a model that refers to a multidimensional data collected for a period (Panel Data Regression) for eleven countries analyzed. For the analysis of the Romanian indicators, the multiple linear regression model was used. The analysis shows that both the Romanian model and the model performed on the 11 countries (panel data) registered a positive and direct relationship between number of banking units (BRANCHES) and number of bank employees, and an inverse correlation between number of ATM machines per 100,000 adults and number of bank employeesNiniejszy artykuł analizuje czynniki wpływające na liczbę pracowników w systemie bankowym. Celem naszych badań było określenie wpływu rentowności banków (ROA), liczby oddziałów i liczby bankomatów na 100 000 osób dorosłych na ewolucję liczby pracowników w centralnym i estońskim systemie bankowym (11 krajów) oraz porównanie z rumuńskim systemem bankowym. Zastosowano model odnoszący się do danych wielowymiarowych zebranych dla okresu (regresja danych panelowych) dla jedenastu analizowanych krajów. Do analizy wskaźników rumuńskich zastosowano model regresji wielokrotnej liniowej. Analiza pokazuje, że zarówno model rumuński, jak i model wykonany w 11 krajach (dane panelowe), zarejestrowały dodatni i bezpośredni związek między liczbą jednostek bankowych (ODDZIAŁY) a liczbą pracowników banków, a także odwrotną korelację między liczbą bankomatów na 100 000 osób dorosłych i liczba pracowników banków
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
THE INFLUENCE OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY DISCLOSURE ON BANK PROFITABILITY
No full textNowadays, the society expects economic performance from companies, but also a social commitment. Our observations will offer to the banks a perspective on the degree of their CSR Disclosure and will help the central bank to develop a corporate sustainability framework and guidelines for the improvement of the transparency and the reduction of the informational asymmetry. The objective of our work is to explore the amplitude of the information on CSR from the annual reports and the reports of the Administrative Councils of the banks, and also to examine the impact of the CSR Disclosure on the bank performance. The study uses an econometric model to analyse the effect of the CSR Disclosure on the profitability of the Romanian banks. Related to the banking field of activity, a specific feature in the behaviour of the customer was observed. The customers are more involved, analysing attentively the information and also have the tendency to establish a long-term relation with the financial institution
STUDY OF CORRELATION BETWEEN AVERAGE INTEREST RATE AND NON-PERFORMING LOANS IN THE ROMANIAN BANKING SYSTEM DURING 2006- FEBRUARY 2010
Get PDFThis paper aims to examine the correlation between average interest rate and non-performing loans in the Romanian banking system during 2006-February 2010. We based our approach on the Pearson correlation coefficient and we realized an empirical study, which demonstrates how these relevant banking elements are connected. Also, the result of this research suggests that there are other indirect channels which affect the non-performing loans.Pearson correlation coeficient, Non-performing loans, Average interest rate, Credit-risk provisions
