This paper provides evidence of a negative association between macroeconomic uncertainty and the cross sectional dispersion of investment rate for a panel of Japanese manufacturing firms. We show that an increase in uncertainty leads to the narrowing of the cross section dispersion of investment...

The performance evaluation of competing forecasting models is generally restricted to their ranking by criterion, which generally leads to several inconsistent rankings for different criteria. The purpose of this article is to propose a multidimensional framework; namely, Data Envelopment...

We study heat conduction in a one-dimensional disordered anharmonic chain with arbitrary heat bath by using extended Ford, Kac and Mazur (FKM) formulation, which satisfy the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. A simple formal expression for the heat conductivity κ is obtained, from which the...
