Portfolio behaviour of the London clearing banks: 1953-1969
No full textThis study examines the portfolio behaviour of the London ClearingSachs. A Central theme of the study involves the imposition of specific separability restrictions to the banks asset allocation decision process. In particular, the portfolio of assets is dichotomised into two major groupings) Laming Assets and Reserve Assets. Allocation decisions are assumed to be made between these broad aggregates first of all and then, only when this Initial decision has been made, between the individual components of each grouping. As a consequence, the decision process for each asset is assumed to take place In two stages, and altogether, in fact, three separate sets of allocation decisions are analysed for each stage, asset demand functions are developed for certain 'choice' assets in terms of other predetermined asset and liability values. Of particular interest hers Is the fact that attempts are made to explain the banks' holdings of Excess Reserves and Advances. Within each stage, the influence on the allocation decision of expectations hold regarding the exogamous items of the portfolio is highlighted. Account is also taken of dynamic adjustment factors. Inch considerations enable a distinction to be drum between planned ex-ante and actual ex-post demands.The results are encouraging and broadly support the approach adopted. The Excess Reserves specification is surprisingly successful end the results obtained for this decision stage, in particular, highlight the validity of considering the influence of expectations on the allocation process. The Advances decision is shown to be dominated by supply influences. All policy instruments,employed in the period, would appear to have had an effect on the outstanding amount of Advances. The results in this respect, are particularly interesting in relation to Special Deposits, since most previous studies have commented on the lack of success of this particular policy instrument.</p
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
