Intra-Industry Reactions to Stock Split Announcements

We examine whether favorable information conveyed by stock split announcements transfers to nonsplitting firms within the same industry. On average, nonsplitting firms' shareholders experience positive and significant abnormal returns at the stock split announcements of their industry counterparts. In addition, industrywide and firm-specific characteristics are important determinants in explaining nonsplitting firms' stock returns. These firms' earnings increase significantly, and the earnings changes are positively related to the stock price reactions. Finally, we find no evidence that investors revise the value of nonsplitting firms because they anticipate a decline in earnings volatility.     

The antecedents of digital collaboration through an enhanced digital platform for destination management: A micro-DMO perspective

While the tourism sector shifts towards digital transformation, Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) often struggle to adapt to their changing technological environment. This study explores the antecedents of digital collaboration and develops a framework for micro-DMOs to enhance effective destination management through digital technologies. An integrated sequential qualitative approach was adopted by conducting multi-phase interviews, in addition to designing and trialling a real-world trial digital platform. The research provides empirical evidence that digital collaboration is essential for micro-DMOs, necessitating them to transform their current “websites” into digital platforms which act as a hub for business stakeholders to actively be involved in. Antecedents of successful digital collaboration include mutuality, trust, control, and leadership which may be manifested differently from non-digital collaboration. Additionally, the study identifies three aspects for digital collaboration; marketing, networking and knowledge sharing that demands specific attention. Our results have theoretical, methodological, and practical implications for academia, industry and policymakers.

WTO与中国金融业的发展

入世给我国金融业既带来了机遇，也带来了挑战。面对新形势，我国金融业要有新的发展思路：放宽金融兼并重组的限制，逐步取消分业经营制，大力发展和完善金融中介机构和中小企业融资担保机制，鼓励金融创新，增强银行的盈利能力。     

AHP和0-1整数规划方法在物流系统零售点选址中的应用研究

物流系统零售点选址所涉及的影响因素众多,这些因素中既有定性因素,又有定量因素。首先用层次分析法对这些影响因素进行处理,得到了各备选点的权值。针对层次分析法无法解决条件约束问题,提出了用层次分析法和0-1整数规划法相结合用于零售点选址的模型。最后,通过示例证明该模型能有效地处理物流系统零售点选址问题。     

考虑批量订货的易腐农产品配送中心选址方法

为提高物流管理绩效、降低物流运作成本,考虑到配送中心的批量订货和作业能力限制,建立了易腐农产品配送中心选址问题的0-1整数非线性规划模型,并利用Lingo 9.0软件进行了模型求解.利用该模型可以确定配送中心的位置和各配送中心与零售店之间的配送关系,并可得到配送中心的订货周期和订货批量.最后,通过算例验证了模型的有效性.     

Multi-scale tests for serial correlation

This paper introduces a new family of portmanteau tests for serial correlation. Using the wavelet transform, we decompose the variance of the underlying process into the variance of its low frequency and of its high frequency components and we design a variance ratio test of no serial correlation in the presence of dependence. Such decomposition can be carried out iteratively, each wavelet filter leading to a rich family of tests whose joint limiting null distribution is a multivariate normal. We illustrate the size and power properties of the proposed tests through Monte Carlo simulations.     

A note on the projection properties of Hadamard matrices obtained by the first Payley construction

We show that the projections on four factors of an arbitrary orthogonal array of strength 2 allow the estimation of main effects and two-factor interactions when all other effects are assumed to be zero, if those projections satisfy the bounds given by Weil0">s theorem. The only exceptions are the Hadamard matrices of orders 16 and 24. A consequence is again the estimability of main effects and two-factor interactions for the projections on four factors of the first Payley construction for arbitrary run size.
