Changes in substitutability among inputs and outputs can help farms adapt to economic, technological, or societal changes. However, measurement of technical bias has only been carried out in a static framework, ignoring the confounding effects of technical bias due to adjustment costs. This paper integrates two streams of literature, that is one measuring dynamic inefficiency and the other measuring technical bias, thereby offering non‐parametric measures of technical bias for dynamic production technology.
This article addresses the issue of selecting Financial Strategies in Multi-National companies (F.S.M.). The F.S.M. typically has to consider multiple factors involving multiple stakeholders and, hence, can be handled by applying an appropriate Multi-Criteria Group Decision-Making (M.C.G.D.M.) approach.
The objective of this paper is to test whether the complete pass-through of exchange rate exists when there are almost no transaction costs and in the environment of competitive market. In general, the literature claims that the pass-through of exchange rate is incomplete due to imperfect market, i.e. the presence of transaction costs and imperfect competition. The quasi-experimental case of the food import to Hong Kong from Mainland China is considered in the analysis.
Departing from conventional TFP index without variable-specific analysis, this paper applies a novel Malmquist productivity index on the basis of the multi-directional efficiency analysis to investigate not only the overall total factor productivity growth, but also the variable-specific productivity growth in the Chinese banking sector.
In this paper, we formulate an international duopolistic trade model to investigate the two-part tariff licensing strategy for a leader foreign firm. It is found that the optimal licensing contract includes only the royalty with a rate above the cost reduction for a low tariff rate, whereas it includes only the fixed fee for a high tariff rate; as for the tariff rate that falls in between, both the fixed fee and the royalty are included.

Diferent power generation technologies have different advantages and disadvantages. However, if compared to traditional energy sources, renewable energy sources provide a possibility to solve the climate change and economic decarbonization issues that are so relevant today. Therefore, the analysis and evaluation of renewable energy technologies has been receiving increasing attention in the politics of different countries and the scientific literature.
