This article studies theory and inference of an observation-driven model for time series of counts. It is assumed that the observations follow a Poisson distribution conditioned on an accompanying intensity process, which is equipped with a two-regime structure according to the magnitude of the...

Innovation scholars are interested in how slack affects product innovation in high-tech Chinese firms. We highlight that slack–innovation linkages may differ depending on whether slack is absorbed or unabsorbed, and argue that entrepreneurial orientation (EO) moderates the slack–innovation...

This note considers equilibrium selection in common-value second-price auctions with two bidders. We show that for each ex post equilibrium in continuous and undominated strategies, a sequence of “almost common-value” auctions can be constructed such that each of them possesses a unique...

Mo-modified catalysts of Mo/TNU-9 were prepared for the non-oxidative aromatization of methane. The effects of different Si/Al ratios, Mo loadings and temperatures on the catalytic performance of Mo/TNU-9 catalysts were also investigated. Furthermore, for comparison, Mo/ZSM-5 was synthesized for...

In this paper we investigate the relationship between family ownership structure and corporate value across a sample of 1314 firm-year observations of China’s family publicly listed companies (PLCs), from 2004 to 2008. We find a significant inverse-U-shaped relationship between the controlling...

This paper characterize a decision framework by which a firm can manage generational product replacements under stochastic technological changes. First, we characterize an optimal threshold-based product replacement policy that maximizes the firm's expected total profit for a finite planning...

INCISIM is a computer program that simulates the occurrence of highway incidents, the dispatching of emergency vehicles, and the traffic flow on the network. INCISIM can represent multiple types of emergency vehicles, include highway patrol cars, freeway service patrol trucks, tow trucks...

Regional allowance allocation not only matters for regional economic efficiency but also for fairness between regions or companies. It is important to work out a fair and reasonable allocation method to achieve China's goal of the gross control of pollutant discharge. This research developed an...

Demand for a new product is often highly uncertain. As the developer of a new product, the manufacturer may reduce the uncertainty of the product's demand through observing progress in his product development process or receiving demand signals directly from customers. This paper first shows...
