Testing for and estimation of models subject to multicollinearity
(2010-03-22)The regression method for analyzing changes in variables over the time and cross-section has become very popular in the present day world. The method is undoubtedly very powerful but it is based on several assumptions and ... -
Testing the dependence structure of the components of hybrid processes using mutual information
(IIM Ahmedabad, 2013-06)Mutual information is a useful extension of the correlation coecient to study the dependence among multiple random processes. Hybrid processes are multivariate time series with some components continuous time series and ... -
Tests to determine employer-employee relationships in India: looking towards the future?
(Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 2023-04-20)The underpinning of an employee’s social security benefits is an employer-employee relationship. Workers are traditionally classified as employees (contract of service) or independent contractors (contract for service). ... -

(2009-12-14)This paper discusses following five issues by briefly considering the historical context of agriculture, innate biological nature of production process in agriculture, and initial conditions that agriculture inherited at ... -
Theory of financial intermediation - a portfolio approach
(2010-03-13)In this study an attempt is made to explain the behavior of financial intermediaries in terms of portfolio theory using a preference function approach. The model developed here is largely theoretical in nature, and deals ... -

Threshold and median rank solutions for transitive abstract games
(2010-01-16)In this paper we consider solutions defined on the class of transitive games. A solution is said to be a threshold solution, if for every subgame there exists an alternative such that the solution set for the subgame ... -
Threshold of median rank solutions
(2010-01-18)In this paper we consider solutions defined on the class of transitive tournaments. Such solutions are essentially rank solutions i.e. solutions which depend on the ranks of the alternatives and not on any other physical ...
