Rational Inefficiencies
No full textIn this paper, we suggest that inefficiency may be an indirect, on-the-job compensation to agents in an organization. We show how to use actual production data to reveal the trade-offs between different inefficiencies (slacks). Moreover, we discuss how to use this to improve productivity analysis as well as decision making and incentive provisions in organizations.efficiency, preferences, incentives, bargaining, planning, Productivity Analysis,
Statistical estimation of nonstationaryGaussian processes with long-range dependence and intermittency
No full textThis paper considers statistical inference for nonstationaryGaussian processes with long-range dependence and intermittency. The existence of such a process has been established by Anh et al. (J. Statist. Plann. Inference 80 (1999) 95–110). We systematically consider the case where the spectral densityof nonstationaryGaussian processes with stationaryincrements is of a general andAsymptotic theory; fractional Riesz–Bessel motion; nonstationary process; long-range dependence; statistical estimation
