This paper evaluates the impact of varying magnitudes of oil price shocks on the equity market returns in BRICS countries under diverse market conditions using quantile-on-quantile regression analysis. Uniquely, unlike previous studies, this paper differentiates between demand and supply oil...

The longevity of cartels has been a highly contested topic among economists and managers, with numerous researchers arguing that cartels are inherently unstable and their endurance is usually short-lived. Understanding the main factors that influence a cartel duration is essential from a...

This article provides a summary of the recently published book, Special Economic Zones in South Asia: Structural Change, Competitiveness, and Growth (Routledge: London). This book represents the first comprehensive effort to systematically examine the rationale, objectives, design, and outcomes...

We find the asymptotic distribution of the OLS estimator of the parameters $% \beta$ and $\rho$ in the mixed spatial model with exogenous regressors $% Y_n=X_n\beta+\rho W_nY_n+V_n$. The exogenous regressors may be bounded or growing, like polynomial trends. The assumption about the spatial...

The paper examines the association between marital status and self-reported health status of Indian men and women of different ages. Estimation results reveal linkages between marital status and health and show that this relationship is sensitive to the age and gender. Based on findings, the...

This paper investigates the effect of eco-labeling on the occupancy rates of commercial offices in the US. The occupancy rates of LEED and Energy Star labeled offices are compared to a sample of non-labeled offices which were selected to include properties in the same submarkets. Significant...

The paper provides significant simplifications and extensions of results obtained by Gorsich, Genton, and Strang (J. Multivariate Anal. 80 (2002) 138) on the structure of spatial design matrices. These are the matrices implicitly defined by quadratic forms that arise naturally in modelling...

The paper examines the association between marital status and self-reported health status of Indian adults. A nationally representative cross-sectional data surveyed by National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) in 2004 is used. Results confirm linkages between marital status and health and show...
