Sequential parameter nonstationarity in stock market returns
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-03)
This paper provides a Bayesian test of parameter nonstationarity and an estimation procedure for the detection of change points in the time series of stock returns. The empirical results indicate that this procedure can ...
The Global Citizenship MBA orientation Program: Action learning at the University of Michigan Business School
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-01)
The University of Michigan Business School's Global Citizenship Program is a two day action learning model conducted during orientation week. During these two days, teams of students, faculty and staff, along with corporate ...
Do government subsidies increase the private supply of public goods?
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-09)
We study three different models in which public goods are supplied by private contributions. In one of these models, tax-financed government subsidies to private contributions will definitely increase the equilibrium supply ...
Parallel decomposition of large-scale stochastic nonlinear programs
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
Many practical decision problems involve both nonlinear relationships and uncertainties. The resulting stochastic nonlinear programs become quite difficult to solve as the number of possible scenarios increases. In this ...
A simple proof of a primal affine scaling method
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
In this paper, we present a simpler proof of the result of Tsuchiya and Muramatsu on the convergence of the primal affine scaling method. We show that the primal sequence generated by the method converges to the interior ...
Evaluation and derivation of process plans in turning
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 1996-05)
The objective of this paper is to formalize process planning selection to minimise the total processing time and the total number of processing steps. The study is performed by defining the processes and part description ...

The primal power affine scaling method
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
In this paper, we present a variant of the primal affine scaling method, which we call the primal power affine scaling method. This method is defined by choosing a real r >0.5, and is similar to the power barrier variant ...
Critical analysis of the graphical determination of hansen's solubility parameters for lightly crosslinked polymers
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-12-19)
The most widely accepted method for determining Hansen's three-dimensional solubility parameters (3DSP) for crosslinked polymers entails graphically estimating the center of a spherical region in 3DSP-coordinate space whose ...
Time Out for Childcare: Signalling and Earnings Rebound Effects for Men and Women
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1996-09)
The wage cost of time out of the labor force for childcare is important in order to understand the functioning of labor markets and for public policy. This paper reviews the literature and identifies several limitations. ...
