Assessing the magnitude of the concentration parameter in a simultaneous equations model
Creators: name: Poskitt, D. S.
name: Skeels, C. L.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Poskitt and Skeels (2003) provide a new approximation to the sampling distribution of the IV estimator in a simultaneous equations model. This approximation is appropriate when the concentration parameter associated with the reduced form model is small and a basic purpose of this paper is to provide the practitioner with a method of ascertaining when the concentration parameter is small, and hence when the use of the Poskitt and Skeels (2003) approximation is appropriate. Existing procedures tend to focus on the notion of correlation and hypothesis testing. Approaching the problem from a different perspective leads us to advocate a different statistic for use in this problem. We provide exact and approximate distribution theory for the proposed statistic and show that it satisfies various optimality criteria not satisfied by some of its competitors. Rather than adopting a testing approach we suggest the use of p-values as a calibration device.
General Insurance Premiums when Tail Fatness Is Unknown: a Fat Premium Representation Theorem
Creators: name: Gay, Roger
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Fat-tailed distributions are used to model claims on general insurance contracts under which extremely large claims are a very real possibility. Since estimation of the tail-fatness parameter is notoriously difficult - it is one of the major outstanding statistical/actuarial problems - methods which do not require precise knowledge are valuable. A characteristic feature of an important class of fat-tailed distributions, Pareto, is that ratios of expected values of large claims in the form {1+E[X(n)]}/{1+E[X(n-k)]} are independent of sample size. For suitably modelled uncertainty about the tail-fatness parameter, premiums to insurers with constant relative risk aversion can be represented in terms of these ratios. Premiums increase with the insurers' risk-aversion and depend upon their perception of the fattest-tailed distribution generating claims.

Improving self-reflection and peer feedback

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Skilled managers of conflict need to continuously engage in self-reflection and need to be constantly open to feedback. According to Kolb's experiential learning theory, the important stages of learning are experience, reflection on practice and reconceptualisation before re-experiencing. Therefore, when teaching Managing Conflict, there are two mutually reinforcing reasons for requiring students to engage in self and peer assessment; they are effective learning techniques and they are important practitioners' skills. With this in mind, the assessment tasks for this subject required students to engage in self and peer assessment. However implementation proved difficult. Students felt that peer assessment and engaging in the process of self assessment were difficult. Drawing from the literature and feedback from students, these tasks were refined in 2006 to focus on peer feedback and self-reflection. This paper presents the rationale for the changes and explains the expected benefits. It then draws from student feedback to give a preliminary evaluation of the success of self-reflection and peer feedback and identifies opportunities for further improvement.
Advanced manufacturing technology, planning and business performance

description: This paper uses regression analysis of factors obtained from measured variables to find statistical relationships between investment in advanced manufacturing technology (AMT), the planning effort associated with that investment and business performance amongst Australian and Canadian manufacturing firms. A direct effects model and a model introducing a second order factor were both statistically significant, but the latter was more parsimonious and explained significantly more variation in performance. Investment in some kinds of AMT (direct AMT and AMT supporting administrative functions) was associated with better performance but investment in indirect AMT (supporting scheduling and product design) was not. We investigated differences between domestic and foreign owned firms finding that, in both models, some coefficients differed significantly with the kind of ownership. This supports the persistent, but not well researched, idea that Australian managers are not as skilled as their overseas counterparts.

description: The importance of Business-to-Business Electronic Commerce (B2BEC) is now widely acknowledged. However, while large organisations have been implementing and using the technology, Small to Medium Manufacturing Enterprises (SMMEs), have been slow adopters, despite its potential benefits. Using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and literature pertaining to Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), this study identifies the factors that influence SMMEs' adoption of Business-to-Business (B2B) techniques by investigating the effect of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, technological knowledge, the influence of trading partners and the number of adopting organisations. Thai and Australia SMMEs were used to compare developments in developed and comparatively undeveloped countries.

description: Victorian local government reform has occurred in two waves. In the first wave, which focused on the introduction of compulsory competitive tendering and performance management, there was a rapid growth of outsourcing. The second wave of reform under the label of Best Value qualifies the pressures to outsource but retains the focus on performance management. In this paper we explore the management of risk in the contractual environment which now characterises local government. We do so by concentrating on one risk exposed area (outdoor space) across two contracts.

description: This paper attempts to provide an introduction to Regional Industry Economic Dynamics. It does this as a concept in the first part and puts this concept into a broader economic development perspective and explains the broad outline of the theories arising from the work of Porter (1980). The paper then uses the Moorabbin Project survey and interview results to demonstrate the reality of the phenomena in South East Melbourne. The paper also identifies the missing or poorly performing elements of Regional Industry Economic Dynamics, which if addressed could accelerate the growth of companies in South East Melbourne. The paper concludes with comments on how the missing linkage might be addressed as well as some of the ideas put forward by industry which may enhance the recognition and performance of Regional Industry Economic Dynamics.

description: What roles do sex and death play at work? Apart from the few writers who discuss sexuality in the context of power relations between men and women, it would appear that sexuality has very little importance within organisational life. Although sexuality does rate an occasional mention, death, on the other hand, is traditionally absent from organisational discussion. With some notable exceptions that include Isabel Menzies Lyth (1988) and Larry Hirschhom's (1988) commentary on the anxieties of sexuality and death invoked within those working in health care institutions, this also tends to be the case with those who bring a psychodynamic approach to organisational analysis. With this absence of commentary on these most primal of issues, what can be written about an organisation in which sex and death is a daily reality? With very little organisational material upon which to draw, this paper attempts to make sense of the experience of working within a health and welfare agency that is devoted to the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS which is currently a life-threatening illness perceived, in Australia to be linked with (homo)sexual practises. Just as the writer was not a member of the gay and HIV/AIDS community with whom she worked, neither is she a member of the psychoanalytic and clinical community. Nonetheless, from the position of Manager as Observer, Participant and Student, she will seek to provide an organisational analysis from the psychoanalytic framework. Drawing upon the work of those within the object relations school, who have identified and examined the processes of organisational defense routines and systems, this paper argues that these defenses play a strong adaptive role within this organisation. Because the task requirements of the organisation's members are, in the main, so powerfully linked to their own sexuality and death, it is argued that it is the maintenance of organisational defenses that enable individual anxiety to be contained. The paradox may be that the defenses of splitting and projection that have created a conflicted and divisive workplace, have been necessary to allow the work of the primary task to be fulfilled. It is from this perspective, that this paper will examine some of the features of organisational life within a community-based AIDS organisation in Australia.

Use of elective surgery in public hospitals: modeling access-cost quality trade-offs in a spatial framework

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The overall objective of the paper is to model and econometrically analyze the impact of access costs (travel time to hospital) and quality of health care on the utilization of elective health services in public hospitals. We argue that patients might face a trade-off between better perceived quality of care and access costs. The extant literature has not yet developed a common framework which explicitly incorporates the quality and access trade-off. The first aim of this paper is to help fill this gap. We propose a stylized model where GPs and Specialists act as gatekeepers, waiting times act as a rationing device; and perception of quality and access costs contributes to the choice of hospital for treatment. A secondary objective of the paper is to explore econometric approaches to simultaneously deal with access cost quality tradeoff and its effect on patient flows across regions. The geographic access costs lead to interaction between regions which is termed as spatial dependence. This is econometrically tested by applying spatial regression techniques focussing on spatial panel models recently proposed but not yet been widely applied to health economics. The results show that spatial effects especially the geographic neighborhood effects significantly affect the hospital utilization rates at a regional level. Travel time is found to have significant and negative effect on hospital utilization for some Diagnostic categories. The effect of quality of care (measured by the rate of adverse events) is negative and significant for one category of separations. However the effect is quantitatively small. We do not find any evidence of trade-off between quality and travel time for all category of separations. Policy implications are discussed.

description: Relational marketing is increasingly important in business. Various studies (Amber 1995; Chen 1995; Davis 1995; Wong, 1999) have acknowledged trust, dependency and reciprocity as key dimensions of China's "Guanxi" business relationships, but not identified the interconnections among these. This paper explores these relationships to provide a better understanding of the nature of long-term business-to-business relationships between Chinese and Western firms. In addition, the development of a conceptual framework including these key Guanxi constructs and linking them to relationship performance is proposed, together with proposed future research.

Effects of Externality-Corrective Taxation on the Extent of the Market and Network Size of Division of Labor
Creators: name: Ng, Yew-Kwang
name: Yang, Xiaokai
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Applying the inframarginal analysis of specialization and the effects of external costs in production and their control through taxation, this paper shows that, on top of the allocational inefficiency on the input and/or output mix caused and alleviated, there is the organizational inefficiency on the level of division of labor and extent of the market. External costs may lead to either too high or too low a level of division of labor or a mixture of efficient and inefficient structures. Low-cost taxes directly on the variables causing external costs may remove the inefficiency but may not be feasible, as, e.g., home production may be difficult to observe. Sales taxes/subsidies are completely useless as the general-equilibrium adjustments yields zero effects. A tax cum income transfer scheme may be effective in alleviating the allocational and organizational inefficiencies within certain ranges of parametric values. With the other range of parameter values, the optimum tax rate is 0 since a positive Pigovian tax generates organization distortion that outweighs corrective effect of allocative distortion.

description: We develop nonlinear leading indicator models for GDP growth, with the interest rate spread and growth in M2 as leading indicators. Since policy makers are typically interested in whether or not a recession is imminent, we evaluate these models according to their ability to predict the probability of a recession. Using data for the United States, we find that conditional on the spread, the marginal contribution of M2 growth in predicting recessions is negligible.

Changing and challenging aspects of commitment in the contract workforce
Creators: name: McKeown, Tui
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper examines the notion of work commitment within the professional contractor workforce - a working relationship that typifies the growing number falling outside that of the traditional and ongoing employer/employee relationship. In particular, attention is given to the commitment-related implications associated with the contracting relationship where both an employing organization and a Contracting Agency (CA) are involved as both have a vested interest in managing the contractor within this construct. A specific focus of this research is the ability of a contractor to hold dual commitment and to investigate the factors that influence commitment to each party. The limited nature of data available within Australian means this study is supplemented with the much larger body of data and research from the United States. Implications from the findings of this study for human resource management practices in both Contracting Agencies and host organisations as well as future research needs are discussed.

description: Semi-supervised change detection (SSCD) utilizes partially labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data to detect changes. However, the transformer-based SSCD network does not perform as well as the convolution-based SSCD network due to the lack of labeled data. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a new decoder called Cross Branch Feature Fusion (CBFF), which combines the strengths of both local convolutional branch and global transformer branch. The convolutional branch is easy to learn and can produce high-quality features with a small amount of labeled data. 
The transformer branch, on the other hand, can extract global context features but is hard to learn without a lot of labeled data. Using CBFF, we build our SSCD model based on a strong-to-weak consistency strategy. Through comprehensive experiments on WHU-CD and LEVIR-CD datasets, we have demonstrated the superiority of our method over seven state-of-the-art SSCD methods.
The Role of Willingness-to-Pay in Resource Allocation in a National Health Scheme
Creators: name: Richardson, Jeff
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Argument and evidence are presented to support the claim that individual based willingness to pay is an inappropriate criterion for decision making in the health sector. The following propositions are supported: 1 that to achieve allocative efficiency we must eventually place a dollar value on life; 2 that proposition 1 does not imply conventional willingness to pay. 3 that willingness to pay for one's own life is an unhelpful concept in the context of a National Health Scheme. 4 that the population would reject the willingness to pay criterion as the basis for measuring benefits in a national health scheme. 5 that people accept paternalism; they are prepared to override other people's preferences and endorse the importance of extra welfarist objectives and, more specifically endorse the maximisation of health per se, not utility. 6 that the argument that social decision making is imperfect (Arrow's Impossibility Theorem) and that we must therefore have individual based WTP is wrong; Despite the general rejection of individual based WTP, it must be accepted in some contexts. Consequently, total health resources must be allocated according to different criteria in different contexts and the boundaries between these contexts may shift over time and differ between countries It is concluded that social willingness to pay is a function of outcome, process and context. Consequently, viewed from a contextless perspective decision criteria will appear incoherent and inconsistent.
A Production Theory Approach to the Imports and Wage Inequality Nexus

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: We employ a production theory approach to investigate the Stolper-Samuelson effect of fluctuations in the prices of imports, of different origin, on the wage differential between skilled and unskilled labour in the US. Challenging conventional wisdom we find that the positive, downstream-production related, effects of imports on the demand for labor are often significant enough to produce detectable net increases in wages. However, the overall impact of imports, including those that originate in less developed countries, on the wage differential is found to be negligible. Economy-wide dynamic processes of capital accumulation and technical change appear to be far more relevant driving forces of wage dispersion.

description: This article presents a comprehensive economy-wide material flow analysis of the Australian economy in 2019, examining the domestic extraction, trade, end-of-life flows, and recycling for all materials. The results highlight Australia's role as a natural resource supplier, with metals and fossil fuels being primary contributors. Through material flow analysis, we found that in 2019 Australia extracted 2587 Mt of natural resources, exported a substantial fraction (1459 Mt), and used 917 Mt to fulfill domestic needs. The recycling flows and circularity metrics are also explored, with an end-of-life recycling rate of 51.1% and an overall circularity rate of 5.1%. An additional assessment of Australia's consumption-based material footprint highlights mobility and housing as the dominant material-using sectors. These results contribute to understanding Australia's material consumption patterns, indicating significant reliance on foreign semifinished and finished products, and provide insights into the potential for enhancing economic circularity.

La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Patient medication education utilizing the teach-back method to increase patient experience scores
Creators: name: Sammartino, Lori

description: Purpose of Project: Many patients transitioning from hospital to home are unfamiliar with their medications. This lack of knowledge poses an enormous safety risk with adverse drug events being the most common adverse events that occur after discharge. The aim of this quality improvement project was to implement the evidence-based method of teach-back as a standard for patient education. The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers System survey captures the consumer opinion of their experience. Low survey scores may indicate poor quality care and can damage the reputation of an organization. Implementation was projected to have a two-fold effect by improving patient knowledge and increasing the survey scores in the medication domain. Methodology: This quality improvement project included training the nurses on the teach-back method. The nurses educated the patients about their medications using teach-back. A survey of the medication questions was given to the patients prior to discharge. This data was compared pre- and post-implementation. Results: The surveys revealed an increase in patient understanding related to medications. Implications for practice: Quality and safety in healthcare is an expectation of consumers and the goal of healthcare systems. Teach-back can improve quality and safety and positively impact patient satisfaction scores. Nursing practice and hospital policy should be updated to incorporate the use of this evidence-based method as the standard for educating patients.

description: Recent advancements in high-throughput technologies have enabled simultaneous inference of thousands of genes. With the abundance of public databases, it is now possible to rapidly access the results of several genomic studies, each of which includes the significance testing results of a large number of genes. Researchers frequently aggregate genomic data from multiple studies in the form of a meta-analysis. Most traditional meta-analysis methods aim at combining summary results to find signals in at least one of the studies. However, often the goal is to identify genes that are differentially expressed in a consistent pattern across multiple studies. Recently, a meta-analysis method based on the summaries of weighted ordered p-values (WOP) has been proposed that aim at detecting significance in a majority of studies. In the presentation, we will discuss how adherence to the standard null distributional assumptions of the WOP meta-analysis method can lead to incorrect significance testing results. To overcome this, we will propose a robust meta-analysis method that performs an empirical modification of the individual p-values before combining them through the WOP approach. Through various simulation studies, we will show that our proposed meta-analysis method outperforms the WOP method in terms of accurately identifying the truly significant set of genes by reducing false discoveries, especially in the presence of unobserved confounding variables. We will illustrate the application of our method on three sets of micro-array data on lung cancer, brain cancer, and diabetes.
Exposing Biased Samples: Derivation of the Sample-subdivision Method

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In most research programmes, the initial sample is randomly selected, whereas the final sample is self-selected and often biased. This paper derives a technique that determines whether or not the final sample is biased. Specifically, the initial sample is randomly subdivided into groups. For each group, the statistic of interest and the response rate is calculated. A relationship between the statistic of interest and the response rate reflects a biased sample. Conversely, the absence of any relationship reflects an unbiased sample. The advantages of this procedure vis-a-vis past practices are underscored.

description: Innovation is a key-concept of EUROFLEETS+. Therefore, Innovation management has been assigned a dedicated work package to ensure a high level of industrial collaboration in the project, sound innovation management practices, and appropriate identification and management of exploitable results to increase the impact of Eurofleets+. The partners involved in this work package forms the “Innovation Committee”.
 This Committee pays a special attention to the innovation perspectives of the projects submitted for transnational access grants and will help in managing the innovation that will possibly emerge from the outcomes of funded projects.
 The present document introduces some basic concepts and tools for the valorisation of the R&D outcomes of the Eurofleets+-funded cruises. As so many situations and so many different exploitable results are possible, it is impossible to be exhaustive nor very detailed.

The Stochastic Specification of Attraction Models

description: Estimation of attraction models in marketing typically involves the use of the log-centering transformation. The resultant estimating equations are then linear in the parameters. The log-centering transformation also appears in the statistical analysis of compositional data (CODA). CODA techniques are applied to data on "shares" in a wide variety of disciplines. This paper uses CODA techniques to rationalize the stochastic specification of attraction models. It further shows that another transformation from CODA, the log-ratio transform, can yield simpler estimating equations. The results are illustrated using an empirical example.
