Research in signaling theory has recently begun to explore how audiences process signal sets and the incongruence across signals within. However, prior studies have assumed homogenous compositions of sets, thus unidimensional incongruence, although social evaluations tend involve simultaneous processing different dimensions. In this study, we examine audiences' responses interdimensional between capability integrity signals, particularly by focusing on salience positive aggravates investor...
Abstract We investigate how investor protection, government quality, and contract enforcement affect risk taking performance of insurance companies from around the world. find that better protection results in less taking, as do higher quality greater enforceability.

Heterogeneous distributed computing systems often must operate in an environment where system parameters are subject to uncertainty. Robustness can be defined as the degree which a function correctly presence of parameter values different from those assumed. We present methodology for quantifying robustness resource allocations dynamic task execution times stochastic. The is evaluated through measuring three allocation heuristics within context stochastic environment. A Bayesian regression...

This study builds and applies a framework that addresses the twin uncertainties of traffic flow interest rates in build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects. Existing valuation methods address estimations using linear models, which yield point estimates predictions regardless volatility. Additionally, considering projections alone ignores financial risk these projects, is an important variable for public–private partnership (PPP) The demonstrated by simulating scenarios based on model. model...

However, impact such strategic investments EBT has yet be explored context its relationship firm value. Therefore, study explores EBT-specific firm-level characteristics result stock reaction announcements...
In this paper, we extend the parametric approach of VaR estimation that is based upon application two transforms, one for handling skewness and other kurtosis. These transformations restore normality to data when applied in succession. The transforms are well defined offer an alternative models on variance–covariance approach. We demonstrate technique using three pairs uncorrelated but negatively skewed fat-tailed stock return distributions, pair each from recent periods US international...
