For some NP-hard lotsizing problems, many different heuristics exist, but they have different solution qualities and computation times depending on the characteristics of the instance. The computation times of the individual heuristics increase significantly with the problem size, so that...

In cricket, choosing the best team (Playing-11) is crucial. Cricket, as a sport, has witnessed a notable shift towards data-driven decision-making in recent years. We look at past players performance to understand how teams can predict their ideal players. This survey explores various data...

This research introduces a cutting-edge approach to disease prediction using a stacking ensemble model in machine learning. Through meticulous evaluation and testing on data sourced from the National Health Portal of India, the model demonstrated superior accuracy, particularly with the...

Previous approaches to model the performance of nonprofit organizations and their determinants largely rely on linearity and monotonicity assumptions. This research note makes a methodological contribution by jointly using descriptive and predictive models, particularly advanced...

This paper describes the structure and estimation of a structural macro-econometric model of the Northern Ireland economy. We show how it can be used to assess the potential impact of economic shocks and policy changes. Specifically, we have done so by examining the effects of shocks to UK...

Létrehozható-e strukturális egyenletek modelljével egy olyan látens változó, amely méri a járási szintű fejlettséget? A SEM becsléshez különböző gazdasági és társadalmi dimenziókból 13 változót használtam fel. Az 5 dimenzióra nem lehetett megfelelő modellt építeni. A...

At the end of this year, the tax rate on Global Intangible Low-Tax Income (GILTI) is set to rise at the same time as the expiration of the individual provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Lawmakers are unlikely to allow these changes to occur. However, simply canceling these scheduled...

This study explores the impact of COVID-19-related supply chain disruptions on manufacturing firms, focusing on external risks: demand, environmental, and supply. Our literature review reveals the general lack of comprehensive disruption plans and exposes the vulnerabilities in manufacturing...

The comparative economic performance between the former socialist German Democratic Republic (GDR) and the capitalist Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) remains inconclusive due to valuation problems. We address these problems by applying wedge-growth accounting to a newly compiled dataset. More...

This paper develops a rigorous mathematical framework for analyzing trust dynamics and statistical properties in small-scale risk-sharing communities. We establish that small pools with interdependent risks exhibit fundamentally different mathematical properties than large insurance systems,...
