(2010-04-06)Women's career development in organizations is often different from that of men. Although competent women, like competent men aspire for top positions of leadership in organizations, such positions often elude them. This ... -
Auto-Havra Charvat entropic measures for stationary time series of categorical data
(2013-05)For stationary time series of nominal categorical data or ordinal categorical data (with arbitrary ordered numberings of the categories), autocorrelation does not make much sense. One can alternatively think of using some ... -
Autonomy of public sector enterprises

Availability and work targets of bulldozers
(2010-04-05)Setting work targets for machines is an important task for engineering managers, especially where they operate large fleets with machines of different makes and ages. Setting uniform work targets is easier but it does not ... -
Average welfare fair and egalitarian solutions for bargaining problems
(2010-03-21)In this paper e present an alternative characterization of the Egalitarian Solution for bargaining problems and show that the Egalitarian solution has the property that for any agent the incremental utility from bargaining ... -
Averaging as a general principle of information integration
(2010-03-21)Virtually all situations require a judgment or decision on the basis of several separate pieces of information. Grading a term paper, evaluating a job applicant, selecting a leader, or simply listening to a speaker, all ... -
Averaging model analyses of teacher expectations of performance from students varying in motivation and ability
(Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 1986-11-01)Although there have been numerous studies of the impact of teacher expectations on student performance, the manner in which expectations are formed has remained unexplored. The present research tested the hypothesis that ... -
Axiomatic analysis of choosing the second best
(2009-12-14)The dominant theme in decision theory has been the one where an agent chooses what is perceived to be the best outcome out of a (finite) set of outcomes. This has been the model that economic theory has traditionally ... -
Axiomatic analysis of vote aggregators
(2010-01-16)In this paper a model for the aggregation of ballot profiles is considered. In this framework some new results are obtained: the characterization of oligarchic aggregators, the characterization of the plurality aggregator ... -
Axiomatic characterisation of weighted boolean vote aggregators
(2010-01-18)A Federation Boolean Vote Aggregator allows a finite set of coalitions to unilaterally elect any candidate from a set containing exactly two candidates. There are several special types of Federation Boolean Vote Aggregators, ... -
Axiomatic characterisation of weighted voting operator
(2010-01-18)A federation voting operator allows a finite set of coalitions to unilaterally elect any outcome. There are several special types of federation voting operators, all of which share a property: the candidates are assigned ... -
Axiomatic characterization of budget constrained Pareto efficient social choice for fair division problems
(Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 1998-11-01)In this paper, we axiomatically characterize the social choice correspondence, which picks for each economy, the set of equal income budget constrained Pareto efficient allocations. We are able to characterize this social ... -
Axiomatic characterization of indirect utility and lexicographic extensions
(2010-01-16)The general problem we are interested in this paper is of the following variety: We are given a finite universal set and a linear ordering on it. What is the minimal axiomatic characterization of particular extension of ... -
Axiomatic characterization of some extensions
(2009-12-12)The general problem we are interested in this paper is of the following variety. We are given a finite universal set and a linear ordering on it. What is the minimal axiomatic characterization of a particular extension of ... -
Axiomatic characterization of the cao choice function for multiattribute choice problems
(2009-12-12)In this paper we provide an axiomatic characterization of a choice function due to Cao (1981) multiattribute choice problems. -
Axiomatic characterization of the constrained equal awards solution for rationing problems
(2010-03-31)In this paper we propose two different, yet related axiomatic characterizations of the Constrained Equal Award Solution for rationing problems. The solution itself and its implications are studied in the context of an item ... -
Axiomatic characterization of the equal income market equilibrium choice correspondence in non convex economies
(2010-04-01)A property of allocation rules (in problems involving fair division of infinitely divisible goods amongst a finite number of agents) that has received considerable attention in recent literature is consistency. The property ... -
An axiomatic characterization of the equal loss choice function for multiattribute choice problems
(2010-03-27)In this paper we provide an axiomatic characterization of the equal loss choice function for multiattribute choice problem. -
Axiomatic characterization of the lexicographic utilitarian collective utility function
(2010-03-29)In this paper we axiomatically characterize the family of lexicographic utilitarian collective utility functions. As a by-product we obtain the utilitarian collective utility function by imposing a shift anonymity condition. ...
