The officials bribing scheme is considered as cooperative game theory model. On the base of Shapley vector so called "truebribe values" are calculated. The numerical analysis explains why the bribes for business opening are so high and what is happen,if the bribes become legitimate, as G.Popov...

Following an idea proposed by Deterding (2006) for the English version of 'The North Wind and the Sun', this paper compares the standard Spanish version of that fable with an alternative text which corresponds to another fable, 'The Boy who Cried Wolf'. The comparison is based on the phonetic...

The equilibrium distributions of probabilities are derived on the basis of the maximum entropy principle (MEP) for the Renyi and Tsallis entropies. New S-forms for the Renyi and Tsallis distribution functions are found which are normalised with corresponding entropies in contrast to the usual...

This paper utilizes the non-linear estimation method to simulate the Zipf distribution, and constructs an alternative measure of Hirschman–Herfindahl index (HHI), in order to reveal the real changes in monopoly of China's industrial markets. Based on the annual waves of the Chinese Industrial...

Several economic phenomena are found to follow an approximate Pareto distribution, at least in the upper tail. The debate is well established for the distribution of wealth and business firms, and has recently been particularly animated with respect to city sizes. In this paper we contribute to...

We question the claim that the largest US cities are Pareto distributed. We show that results of multiple tests on real data are similar to those obtained when the true distribution is lognormal, and largely depend on sample sizes.
