This paper examines whether a host country's bank-capital-to-asset ratio and internet capability affect inward banking FDI. To do so we develop a two-asset portfolio selection model to analyze the risk-return factors in banking FDI. We then employ a three-way error component estimation model to...

Using a dynamic spatial framework, this paper investigates how foreign direct investment (FDI), foreign aid and remittances impact the economic growth of 53 African and 34 Latin American and Caribbean countries. Previous growth studies examine how one factor or two of these factors impacts...

This paper has two purposes. The first is to present theorems and results which show how the minimax and duality results familiar in the context of two person constant sum games can usefully be extended to include: i) resource constraints; ii) prior information concerning an opponent’s...

In 1995 I introduced the idea of intervening duality with the context of matching pennies games between two persons. I subsequently extended that idea with papers relating first to experimenter-experiment interactions via an intervening — and explicitly specified — die casting experiment...

Mate choice studies most often examine female preferences based on population responses, thus potentially overlooking individual differences in behavior. Moreover, such studies typically use invariant stimulus conditions to infer preferences. By using population responses and static stimulus...

This paper develops an intertemporal goal programming approach to the modelling of policy induced variations in production methods and types and quantities of resources under conditions of regulation and weather related risk and market related risk and uncertainty. The goal programming approach...
