Do Migrant's Remittance Inflow Affects the Dutch Disease: Evidence from Indonesia
Get PDFPurpose: Remittances have grown in measurement and importance. While such inflows can improve economic growth, they may additionally also reason domestic foreign money to respect and hurt exports – an aspect of impact generally referred to as the Dutch disease. Statistics exhibit that remittances influx to Indonesia grew from 1% of GDP in 1984 to over 9% of GDP in 2020. Theoretically, such a massive influx of overseas foreign money into an economy may lead to Dutch diseases.
Methodology: For this purpose, they learn about employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) to observe the impact of migrant remittances on the actual fantastic exchange charge spanning the duration from 1984 to 2020.
Findings: In the long run, they find out about finds an effective relationship between migrants’ remittances and the real high-quality change rate, which means that evidence of Dutch Disease risk in Indonesia. This grasp of the Indonesia rupiah relative to different competing countries encourages import and discourages export, leading to the Dutch disease effect.
Originality/Value: This study, therefore, investigated whether the large inflow of remittances into the economic system reasons Dutch disease
Financial Literacy, Economics Factors and Investing Decisions: A Study of Individual Investors in Iran
Get PDFPurpose: This study sought to investigate the relationship between financial literacy and investment decisions in the Iranian stock exchange and investigated the financial literacy of investors in the Iranian stock market.
Methodology: To attain the purposes of the study, an inquiry was created containing two components related to investment decisions, including financial literacy and economic factors. The inquiry was delivered to a sample of 85 people. Descriptive data were used to expound on study samples in the way that frequency, mean, and standard deviation. In addition, of highest quality-sample t-test and a natural linear regression reasoning were used to test the study theory at a consequence level of 0.05.
Findings: The main findings of this study include (I) the impact of financial knowledge and literacy on investment decisions and (II) the impact of economic factors on investment decisions. The focus was on investment and savings-related decisions and preferences.
Originality/Value: Banks, financial institutions, and investors can benefit from understanding the impact of financial literacy, behavioral, and individual factors, thus inviting investors to other financial options. The study provided many recommendations, the most important of which, is by communicating financial factors and knowledge of finance to financial literacy, allowing decision-makers to anticipate economic events and plan for the future
China Real Estate Price and Stock Market Volatility during COVID-19
Get PDFPurpose: This study examined the response of stock prices on the China Stock Exchange (SSE) and Real Estate prices to COVID-19 using an event study approach and the GARCH model.
Methodology: In this study, the dimensions and key components of the use of large data obtained from the Internet of Things (IoT) in an industry's supply chain are investigated as a case study. Finally, a model for implementing an agile and lean supply chain based on IoT data analysis to improve the supply chain performance of these industries during emergency drug distribution during critical conditions is presented.
Findings: We measure volatility spillovers by defining the volatility of each sector in the SSE index. In this study, we investigate the volatility of China stock market. Furthermore, we analyze the dynamic connectedness during COVID-19 pandemic periods to identify the changes in their relationship following the two categories. These empirical findings have several important implications for portfolio managers, policymakers, and investors.
Originality/Value: This paper focuses on investigating the impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on the China stock market volatility from a GHARCH and VAR model point of view. The GHARCH model used proves that during the COVID-19 pandemic, stock price volatility and real estate price volatility increases and lead to a decrease in abnormal returns. The empirical findings also validate the efficient market hypothesis theory related to the study of events and the theory of financial behavior related to uncertainty
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
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
