As the number of immigration and their later generations grow in the workforce of more developed Western countries, understanding the processes and consequences of acculturation has gained a new level of importance. An old and re-emerging issue is the morality and reparative behavior in Western versus Eastern cultures, as well as its antecedents and consequences. We examined the effects of acculturation on the perception of psychological proximity, the intensity of moral emotions of shame and guilt, and the degree of compensation to victims of one's wrongdoing. Our sample was comprised of a collectivistic group from a shame culture, China, and an acculturated group of Chinese living in a much less collectivistic society of a guilt culture, Canada. Our results indicated that participants' perception of psychological proximity to other people and the level of compensation offered to the victims of transgression were significantly different among the two samples. Furthermore, shame and guilt mediated the relationship between perceived psychological proximity and the decision to compensate differently. 相似文献

This is the first paper to document the existence of a gender reservation wage gap in developing countries. We find a 22.6% gender reservation wage gap, a gap that is much larger than current estimates for developed countries. Assets play the largest role in closing this gap, whereas adult height widens the gap among the poor. 相似文献

Abstract
Aims
This study’s objectives were to examine and compare the cost-effectiveness of biologic and non-biologic therapies in the improvement of the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Saudi Arabia. 相似文献25.
In the present paper, we consider a (n − k + 1)-out-of-n system with identical components where it is assumed that the lifetimes of the components are independent and have a common
distribution function F. We assume that the system fails at time t or sometime before t, t > 0. Under these conditions, we are interested in the study of the mean time elapsed since the failure of the components.
We call this as the mean past lifetime (MPL) of the components at the system level. Several properties of the MPL are studied.
It is proved that the relation between the proposed MPL and the underlying distribution is one-to-one. We have shown that
when the components of the system have decreasing reversed hazard then the MPL of the system is increasing with respect to
time. Some examples are also provided. 相似文献

We present a number of related comparison results, which allow one to compare moment explosion times, moment generating functions and critical moments between rough and non-rough Heston models of stochastic volatility. All results are based on a comparison principle for certain non-linear Volterra integral equations. Our upper bound for the moment explosion time is different from the bound introduced by Gerhold, Gerstenecker and Pinter [Moment explosions in the rough Heston model. Decisions in Economics and Finance, 2019, 42, 575–608] and tighter for typical parameter values. The results can be directly transferred to a comparison principle for the asymptotic slope of implied variance between rough and non-rough Heston models. This principle shows that the ratio of implied variance slopes in the rough versus non-rough Heston model increases at least with power-law behavior for small maturities. 相似文献

Modeling the Caspian Sea Negotiations 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The objective of this study is to identify techniques for predicting the outcome of a negotiation and then apply them to the
current negotiations over the legal status of the Caspian Sea, which has been in dispute since the collapse of the Soviet
Union. The five coastal states—Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkmenistan—entered negotiations in 1993, but have
not yet agreed on who owns the waters or the oil and natural gas beneath them. We identify the five well-defined options for
resolving the dispute and then discuss the states’ preferences regarding these options. We apply some well-known social choice
rules to find the “socially optimal” resolution. Then we review several versions of Fallback Bargaining, which aims to minimize
the maximum dissatisfaction of the bargainers, and apply them to the dispute. Finally, we represent the dispute in financial
terms and apply several well-known bankruptcy procedures, which are fair division methods for settling monetary claims. We
end with some suggestions on how the value of the Caspian seabed resources could be allocated among the five Caspian states. 相似文献

In 1978, an experiment was undertaken in Bangladesh to test the possibility of targeting part of the country's public food system toward the poorer and more malnourished population groups through the introduction of a lower-status, but nutritionally valuable food. Sorghum, as a representative inexpensive coarse grain, was selected and introduced into a set of ration shops in both urban and rural areas. Given the low, or negative, income elasticity of demand for sorghum among the middle class, offtakes in the urban test were low. However, in the rural areas, offtakes were substantial, particularly among the lower-income groups, reaching almost 70% in one of the two districts studied. Although this would suggest that the programme has considerable potential in affecting malnutrition and, to a lesser extent, the distribution of income, other information collected on the rural ration system as a whole indicates that, unless the larger system is reoriented, this potential has little chance of being realized. 相似文献

We report an experiment examining the effect of three factors on professional Hong Kong liquidators' decisions to bring legal action in negligence against auditors. Factors were (a) the strength (merit) of the supporting evidence (arguable vs. overwhelming), (b) the type of alleged audit failure (failure to report financial statement errors vs. management fraud) and (c) audit firm type (Big 6 vs. non-Big 6). We find evidence that liquidators' litigation decisions are influenced by case merit. We also find that liquidators were marginally more likely to institute legal action against a Big 6 than against a non-Big 6 auditor. However, we find no evidence that the type of alleged audit failure influences litigation decisions. 相似文献

A three-year window analysis together with the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach is employed to investigate the effects
of mergers and acquisitions on the Singapore banking groups’ efficiency. The results suggest that the merger has resulted
in a higher Singapore banking groups’ mean overall efficiency. We do not find evidence of more efficient acquirers compared
to the targets and that the acquiring banks’ mean overall efficiency tends to improve from the merger with a more efficient
bank. The Tobit regression results suggest that bank profitability has positive impact on bank efficiency, whereas poor loan
quality has negative influence on bank performance. (JEL: G21, D24)
