Organisational slack, corporate reputation and financial performance
No full textThis discussion paper aims to fill the gap left by the latest research on organisational slack that has been focused on emerging economies or on a single company or on a single industry. Senior executives’ perceptions that contribute to a measure of corporate reputation are tested as a proxy measure of unabsorbed slack. Disaggregating the components that make up reputation enables the perceptions of a company’s ‘ability to innovate’ and how efficiently they ‘use their corporate assets’ to also be tested as measures of unabsorbed, perceptual or discretionary slack. The impact of these variables is considered in terms of company performance
Towards minimizing the energy of slack variables for binary classification
No full text20.09.13 KB. Ok to add to spiral, author says conference already available online.This paper presents a binary classification algorithm that is based on the minimization of the energy of slack variables, called the Mean Squared Slack (MSS). A novel kernel extension is proposed which includes the withholding of just a subset of input patterns that are misclassified during training. The later leads to a time and memory efficient system that converges in a few iterations. Two datasets are exploited for performance evaluation, namely the adult and the vertebral column dataset. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm with respect to computation time and scalability. Accuracy is also high. In specific, it equals 84.951% for the adult dataset and 91.935%, for the vertebral column dataset, outperforming state-of-the-art methods. © 2012 EURASIP
Global Slack and Domestic Inflation Rates: A Structural Investigation for G-7 Countries
No full textRecent papers have argued that one implication of globalization is that domestic inflation rates may have now become more a function of ``global", rather than domestic, economic conditions, as postulated by closed-economy Phillips curves. This paper aims to assess the empirical importance of global output in determining domestic inflation rates by estimating a structural model for a sample of G-7 economies. The model can capture the potential effects of global output fluctuations on both the aggregate supply and the aggregate demand relations in the economy and it is estimated using full-information Bayesian methods. The empirical results reveal a significant effect of global output on aggregate demand in most countries. Through this channel, global economic conditions can indirectly affect inflation. The results, instead, do not seem to provide evidence in favor of altering domestic Phillips curves to include global slack as an additional driving variable for inflation.Globalization; Global Slack; Inflation Dynamics; Phillips Curve; Bayesian Estimation

Boron isotopes in tourmaline from hydrothermal ore systems
No full textA new compilation of published data on the boron isotope composition of hydrothermal tourmaline is presented here. The database is provided in the excel file (Trumbull_etal_B-isotopes_Tourmaline_OreDeposits.xlsx) and contains ca. 4000 boron isotope analyses of tourmaline gathered from 57 publications (see References.docx), as well as additional information about the deposit, host rocks, age and temperature of the mineralization, particulars of tourmaline occurrence, etc. The file permits filtering based on the data and all other attributes. Some filter options that may be useful are: “Publication”, “Deposit category”, “Country”, “Tourmaline host category”, “Tourmaline origin”, “Fluid source”, “Zoning”, “Mineralization”. It is important to note that the article linked to this database (“Application of boron isotopes in tourmaline to understanding hydrothermal ore systems” by Trumbull et al.; doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oregeorev.2020.103682) discusses only tourmaline designated as “Hydrothermal” or “Hydrothermal?” in the database and reported in ISI-listed, English-language publications. This selection resulted in a total of 2622 d11B values reported in 49 publications.
