In this paper, we study the competition model of commercial websites with learning and updating speed, and further analyze the influence of learning and updating speed on the growth of commercial websites from a nonlinear dynamics perspective. Using the center manifold theory and the normal form...

The effect of travel time variability (TTV) on route choice behavior is explored in this study. A stated preference survey is conducted to collect behavioral data on Shanghai drivers’ choice between a slow but stable route and a fast but unreliable route. Travel time and TTV are respectively...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to introduce a high load capacity coaxial couple wheeled robot (CCWR) and investigate a simple structure but effective fuzzy equilibrium controller based on (Takagi‐Sugeno) T‐S for balance control in wide‐angle range. Design/methodology/approach –...

In this paper, we focus on single-index models for longitudinal data. We propose a procedure to estimate the single-index component and the unknown link function based on the combination of the penalized splines and quadratic inference functions. It is shown that the proposed estimation method...

Purpose – The aim of this study is to identify factors that influence drivers' route choice response to travel time information about both the expressway and local streets provided by variable message signs on arterial roads. Design/methodology/approach – A stated preference questionnaire...

With new annual data of 16 developed countries across bond, equity, and housing markets, I study the return predictability using the payout-price ratios, i.e., coupon price, dividend price, and rent price. None of the 48 country-asset combinations shows consistent in-sample and out-of-sample...

Using a difference-in-difference-in-differences (DDD) strategy, we study the effects of simultaneous water and air pollution regulations on firms' emission behaviors and explore the driving forces behind their responses. We show that in China's eleventh Five-Year Plan (FYP), there exists a...
