Using Evolutionary Spectra to Forecast Time Series
Creators: name: Maharaj, Elizabeth Ann

description: In this paper, an adaptive smoothing forecasting approach based on evolutionary spectra as developed by Rao and Shapiro (1970) is applied to the 3003 time series of various types and lengths used in the M3-Competition (Makridakis and Hibon, 2000). Comparisons of out-of-sample forecasts are made with other methods used in the M3-Competition via the symmetric mean absolute percentage error (SMAPE). It will be seen that this method does appear to perform very well when applied specifically to yearly, quarterly and monthly macro time series and to yearly and monthly demographic time series used in the competition.

Re-thinking Transformational Leadership Factors

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The aim of this study was to examine the factor structure of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire developed by Bass and Avolio (1990). Using 480 senior officers from an Australian Law Enforcement Organisation, a more complex factor structure was identified. A higher order confirmatory factor analysis identified first and second order factors. The second-order factors were consistent with the four transformational leadership factors identified by Bass and Avolio (1990). These second-order factors were generated by eleven previously unidentified first-order factors. This factor structure may explain why some previous attempts to confirm the structural validity of the MLQ have been unsuccessful.
Financial Development, Capital Accumulation and Productivity Improvement: Evidence from China

description: Financial sector development may contribute to economic growth by facilitating capital accumulation and by improving productivity. This paper investigates empirically the contribution that financial development may make to these two alternative drivers of economic growth in China. Specifically, we construct a set of instruments for measuring financial development by using annual data from 1952 to 1999. Using cointegration and Granger-causality testing we examine the relationship between financial development and, respectively, capital accumulation and productivity in a time-series vector autoregression (VAR) framework. The substantive findings are that in China financial development contributes to economic growth primarily through facilitating capital accumulation, while the linkage between financial development and productivity improvement is statistically weak.

The Relationship Between Quality Management Practices and Learning Outcomes: In The Australian Retail Hardware Sector
Creators: name: Morrison, Michael

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

description: In order to become more competitive in today's turbulent business environment, many organizations have embraced the practices and processes of Total Quality Management (TQM). A conceptual relationship between TQM and the Learning Organization has been implied by a number of different authors (Barrow, 1993; Luthans, Rubach and Marsnik, 1995; Lee, 1996; Senge, 1992; Shiba and Graham; 1995; Stata, 1989). However, there is very little if any empirical evidence to support this view and there are still many unanswered questions. The study surveyed an Australian retail hardware company across a diagonal slice of the organization structure, both at corporate and retail store level. The questionnaire focused on critical areas such as people management, customer focus, quality and improvement, policy and planning, culture and leadership, structure and communication and their relationship to learning outcomes. The data is currently being analysed which will enable several hypotheses to be tested. For example, the hypothesis that there is a significantly positive relationship between the TQM philosophy and learning outcomes. This paper builds on previous work by Sohal and Morrison (1995) and Terziovski, Howell, Sohal and Morrison (1996), which evaluated the link between TQM and Learning Organizations. This paper, using qualitative analysis, will validate the relationship between Quality Management Practices and Learning Outcomes and articulate propositions for future analysis.

description: Changes in the way the governance of democracies are leading towards the emergence of a new form of federalism "fuzzy federalism". This is true of federations and even "unitary" states. Britain has new, interactive relationships Between Westminster and the national assemblies. Parallels in Australia are also significant. The interdependence and interaction between central and state/nation jurisdictions and local government, school communities, private sector and not for profit organisations providers of public services all mark significant qualitative departures from rigid black letter constitutionalism. Governance is operating through a mix of formal statutory instruments, culture and the effects of fuzzy logic.

description: Background: Internal and external fixation combined with autologous bone graft for the treatment of atrophic nonunion has a long treatment cycle, and there remain cases where the nonunion cannot be cured. Platelet-rich plasma contains a variety of growth factors and a large number of white blood cells, and contributes to tissue healing. However, there have been no clinical studies on the effectivenessof platelet-rich plasma combined with conventional surgery in the treatment of atrophic nonunion.Methods/Design: We conducted a prospective, open-label, randomized, controlled clinical trial at the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University, China. Ninety-two patients with atrophic nonunion of femoral shaft fractures were equally and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group. The patients in the control group received conventional surgery, while the patients in the experimental group were injected with autologous platelet-rich plasma in addition to receiving conventional surgery. The primary outcome was fracture healing rate at 9 months postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were visual analogue scale scores for resting state and passive motion, healing time, treatment costs, and adverse reactions. Our partial results revealed that the visual analogue scale scores and complications were similar between the two groups on postoperative days 1–3. The healing rate was significantly higher in the experimental group compared with the control group. The healing time was significantly shorter in the experimental group compared with the control group.Discussion: The present trial was designed in August 2014, and case recruitment was completed in September 2016. Data for the last case will be collected in June 2018, and the data analysis will be completed in December 2018. The trial will provide objective data on the clinical use of platelet-rich plasma combined with conventional surgery for the treatment of atrophic nonunion.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03129971.Ethics: The study protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University of China (approval number: QHG0223A).Informed consent: Written informed consent was obtained from all participants.

Exponential smoothing: a prediction error decomposition principle
Creators: name: Snyder, Ralph D.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In the exponential smoothing approach to forecasting, restrictions are often imposed on the smoothing parameters which ensure that certain components are exponentially weighted averages. In this paper, a new general restriction is derived on the basis that the one-step ahead prediction error can be decomposed into permanent and transient components. It is found that this general restriction reduces to the common restrictions used for simple, trend and seasonal exponential smoothing. As such, the prediction error argument provides the rationale for these restrictions.

Is There a Link Between Family Structures and Women's and Men's Managerial Career Advancement
Creators: name: Tharenou, Phyllis
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of family structures on women's and men's managerial career advancement. At Time 1, 2536 women and 2441 men responded to a survey. A year later, 1529 women and 1421 men responded to a repeated data collection. Family structures were found to predict women's and men's managerial advancement and women's not men's employment disruption, and to lead to them rather than the reverse. Childless single men and women advanced the least, and single parents also had reduced advancement. Traditional fathers advanced as much as other men, although more than posttraditional fathers in some subsamples. Mothers with employed spouses advanced as much as other women. The effects on employment disruption were not consistent with explaining the effects of family structures on advancement.

description: This paper examines the relationship between democracy and economic growth in 30 Sub-Saharan African countries. As our proxy for democracy we first use the democracy index constructed by Freedom House and then check the sensitivity of our findings using, as an alternative proxy for democracy, the Legislative Index of Electoral Competitiveness (LIEC). We find support for the Lipset hypothesis - in the long run, real GDP Granger causes democracy and an increase in GDP results in an improvement in democracy - in Botswana and Niger with both datasets, for Chad with the Freedom House data only and for Cote d’Ivoire and Gabon with the LIEC data only. Support for the compatibility hypothesis - in the long run democracy Granger causes real income and an increase in democracy has a positive effect on real income - is found for Botswana with the Freedom House data and for Madagascar, Rwanda, South Africa and Swaziland with the LIEC data. Support for the conflict hypothesis - in the long run democracy Granger causes real income and an increase in democracy has a negative effect on real income - is found for Gabon with the Freedom House data and Sierra Leone with the LIEC data.

Choosing the depth of organizational intervention: from revisions to reconsiderations
Creators: name: Cox, Julie Wolfram
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In his influential work, Choosing the depth of organizational intervention, Roger Harrison (1970) suggested two criteria for choosing the appropriate depth of change intervention: (1) to intervene at a level no deeper than that required to produce enduring solutions to the problems at hand; and (2) to intervene at a level no deeper than that at which the energy and resources of the client can be committed to problem solving and to change. This paper reviews Harrison's work on the concept of intervention depth in the context of three considerations: revisions in his own thinking, empirical case study data, and recent theoretical contributions in organizational studies. Remaining constant across Harrison's writings on choosing the depth of organizational intervention are four basic assumptions: (1) that OD consultants should work with rather than against client resistance; (2) that there is a change agent/client duality; (3) that the individual is a fixed construct; and (4) that the deep is less accessible and more fundamental than that which resides at the surface. These assumptions are critiqued in terms of relevant organizational theory, and several options are given for reconsidering this and other work in the context of later "developments". These options are defined as extension/renovation, partitioning, moving house; and (the preferred option) of restoration or appreciation of a work in its temporal context while recognizing that that context has since changed.

Bayesian Analysis of Continuous Time Models of the Australian Short Rate
Creators: name: Sanford, Andrew D.
name: Martin, Gael M.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper provides an empirical analysis of a range of alternative single-factor continuous time models for the Australian short-term interest rate. The models are indexed by the level effect parameter for the volatility in the short rate process. The inferential approach adopted is Bayesian, with estimation of the models proceeding via a Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation scheme. Discrimination between the alternative models is based on Bayes factors, estimated from the simulation output using the Savage-Dickey density ratio. A data augmentation approach is used to improve the accuracy of the discrete time approximation of the continuous time models. An empirical investigation is conducted using weekly observations on the Australian 90 day interest rate from January 1990 to July 2000. The Bayes factors indicate that the square root diffusion model has the highest posterior probability of all the nested models.
Using tourism brochures as a tool to manage appropriate behaviour amongst tourists
Creators: name: Frost, Warwick
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Tourism brochures and the glossy photographic images which dominate them, are usually seen as a major form of marketing a region. However, they may additionally be seen as a management tool. They may be used as a way of encouraging tourists to engage in what I have termed appropriate behaviour*. This could include behaviour which is safe, facilitates the enjoyment of others or protects the natural environment. On the other hand, poor choice of photos may encourage inappropriate behaviour. In this paper the photos from eight glossy Australian regional brochures were analysed. Two groups of behaviour were considered. The first was that affecting safety and included swimming, use of helmets for cycling or horse-riding, avoidance of sunburn or skin cancer and use of lifevests in water activities. The second was that affecting others or the environment and consisted of interaction with wildlife, parking and use of motor vehicles, activities on beaches, consumption of alcohol and the use of hardened surfaces to protect natural environments. The results indicated a mixed message for tourists. While the images often encouraged tourists to behave in an appropriate way, there were a number of photos which could encourage wrong, even dangerous, behaviour.
An experimental Analysis of Group Size and Risk Sharing

description: We study the relationship between group size and the extent of risk sharing in an insurance game played over a number of periods with random idiosyncratic and aggregate shocks to income in each period. Risk sharing is attained via agents that receive a high endowment in one period making unilateral transfers to agents that receive a low endowment in that period. The complete risk sharing allocation is for all agents to place their endowments in a common pool, which is then shared equally among members of the group in every period. Theoretically, the larger the group size, the smaller the per capita dispersion in consumption and greater is the potential value of insurance. Field evidence however suggests that smaller groups do better than larger groups as far as risk sharing is concerned. Results from our experiments show that the extent of mutual insurance is significantly higher in smaller groups, though contributions to the pool are never close to what complete risk sharing requires.
Financial intermediation, entrepreneurship and economic growth
Creators: name: Cheng, Wenli
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper presents a simple general equilibrium model of financial intermediation, entrepreneurship and economic growth. In this model, the role of financial intermediation is to pool savings and to lend the pooled funds to an entrepreneur, who in turn invests the funds in a new production technology. The adoption of the new production technology improves individual real income. Thus financial intermediation promotes economic growth through affecting individuals’ saving behaviour and enabling the adoption of a new production technology.
Age Weighting and Discounting: What are the Ethical Issues?
Creators: name: Richardson, Jeff
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The burden of disease is separable from the social value of that burden. In economic evaluation the social value of a program usually takes account of time preferences and future benefits are discounted. Recently, the WHO DALY has included weights to reflect the social importance of the burden of disease at different ages. It is argued here (1) that the most useful concept of the burden of disease may exclude age weights and time preference, (2) that the inclusion of age weights may, without care, result in double counting, (3) that the discounting of future health benefits does not, strictly, represent a technical requirement but is an ethical judgement a preference for a particular intertemporal distribution of health; (4) that decisions regarding such judgements should be informed by the judgements of the public and, further, the 'meta issue' of the appropriate use or dis-use of this preference data may itself be the subject of public choice. This is demonstrated using a survey of public preferences with respect to the desirability of governments implementing or overriding public preferences with respect to time preference. The term 'empirical ethics' is suggested to describe the empirical enquiry into ethical beliefs and the appropriate use of these empirical values.

The Impact of Economic Reform and Associated Changes in Regulatory and Institutional Arrangements on the Role of Trade Unions in the People's Republic of China
Creators: name: Wrathall, Jeff
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: As a result of a range of PRC government initiatives, including Deng Xiaoping's "Open Door" and "Four Modernizations" policies, the Chinese economy has undergone fundamental changes over the last two decades. Economic reform in the PRC has been supported and highlighted by China's recent entry into the WTO. This transformation in the Chinese economy has been associated with significant levels of reform in employment relations. These reforms have led to the development of clearer and closer links between labour-management relations and market forces. However, the real impact of these changes on the role of trade unions in the PRC is, by no means a straightforward one. New labour legislation has provided trade unions with greater scope than ever before in representing the interests of their members. However, transitions away from market dominance by State Owned Enterprises and the emergence of a robust private sector has led to a significant reduction in trade union influence. The situation is further complicated by the emergence and growth of foreign-funded joint ventures. This article examines the traditional role of trade unions in the PRC, as well as the key aspects of national culture influencing labour management relationships. It then explores the impact of recent economic changes, and the relationship between trade union roles and a range of organisational variables including location, ownership and size. It also explores the implications of current economic developments and cultural changes on the future of labour relations in the PRC.

description: This paper presents findings relating to academics' work environment perceptions and work attitudes in Australian universities. Findings relate to a correlation field study of the academic work environment designed to understand how university work environment characteristics relate to full-time academics' work attitudes and job performance. Academics reported both positive (motivating) work environment characteristics (i.e., role clarity, autonomy, job challenge, task identity, supervisory consideration) and negative (demotivating) characteristics (i.e., role overload, role conflict, low job feedback, low participation in decision making). Respondents indicated strong positive opinions to sectoral changes such as the rise of managerialism in academe, academic entre pre neural ism and institutional pressures. Academics reported strong levels of job involvement and neutral organisational commitment. Item analysis indicated academics were willing to exert considerate effort on the university's behalf (positive commitment) but felt the university did not inspire the best in them in terms of job performance (negative commitment). Commitment responses indicated an imbalance in the 'psychological contract' between the academic and his/her university. The paper concludes by discussing the positive and negative aspects of university work organisation.

description: In the new model of public management, a decentralisation approach to policy formulation and implementation is emphasised. Decentralisation is a central focus in much of the recent literature on development, for instance, 'decentralisation is a common theme of policy debates in almost all Western countries at present' (Bennett 1990). In most developing countries, decentralisation has been one of the most widely adopted reforms in politics and administration experienced even before the new model of public management emerged. Many researchers and international aid agencies have seen decentralisation as a remedy for many problems existing in developing countries. The expectations of decentralisation are very high, but in developing countries the results have so far been very disappointing. Despite a great deal of interest showed by international organisations, attempts have not yet met with adequate success. The paper argues that decentralisation approach to policy formulation and implementation so far has been used to strengthen political and administrative power base of elite groups at various government levels in developing countries rather than improving public service quality and delivering. It examines the new model of public management as a new managerial outlook for developing countries and analyses how far decentralisation approach emphasised by the new model is compatible with/different from what is experiencing in developing countries in terms of public service quality and its efficient delivery. Further research directions will also be identified.

description: The application of compositional data analysis methods in economics has some attraction. In particular, this methodology ensures that the stochastic component of budget share models will satisfy the restriction of shares to the unit simplex. The methodology relies upon the use of "log-ratios" in the statistical analysis. Such an approach is not possible when the data to be analyzed includes observations where the observed budget share is zero. We, therefore, extend the methods of compositional data analysis to the situation where the data to be analyzed includes observations where the observed budget share is zero. The modified compositional data methods are discussed both in statistical terms and through potential economic interpretations of the method. Further, the modified methodology is applied to the 1988 Australian Household Expenditure Survey yielding estimates for a system of Engel curves.

description: This paper examines the implementation of new public management in Victoria between 1992 and 1999, During this period public sector reform in Victoria was taken further than any other jurisdiction in Australia through the extensive application of privatisation programs, competitive tendering and contracting and private sector management practices. In the process, the Victorian public sector was radically restructured. But despite this record of significant change, the Kennett government was unexpectedly defeated at the 1999 election. The paper argues that while new public management is a powerful tool, it does have political, financial and practical implications. The paper concludes that governments must pay heed to these if they are not to suffer the most serious consequences of all - electoral failure.

description: We assessed the molecular genetic diversity and relationships among some Aegilops and Triticum species using 15 start codon-targeted (SCoT) polymorphism markers. A total of 166 bands amplified, of which 164 (98.79%) were polymorphic. Analysis of molecular variance and inter-population differentiation (Gst) indicated high genetic variation within the studied populations. Our analyses revealed high genetic diversity in T. boeoticum, Ae. cylindrica, T. durum and Ae. umbellulata, low diversity in Ae. crassa, Ae. caudata and Ae. speltoides, and a close relationship among Ae. tauschii, T. aestivum, T. durum, T. urartu, and T. boeoticum. Cluster analysis indicated 180 individuals divided into 8 genome homogeneous clades and 11 sub-groups. T. aestivum and T. durum accessions were grouped together, and accessions with the C and U genomes were grouped into the same clade. Our results support the hypothesis that T. urartu and Ae. tauschii are two diploid ancestors of T. aestivum, and also that Ae. caudata and Ae. umbellulata are putative donors of C and U genomes for other Aegilops species that possess these genomes. Our results also revealed that the SCoT technique is informative and can be used to assess genetic relationships among wheat germplasm.

description: This research aims to analyze the practice and challenges of investigative journalism on Oromia Broadcasting Network (OBN), specifically focusing on the "Caayaa" investigative television program. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews with eight targeted sample respondents and a systematic selection of five investigative programs broadcasted in 2022. The collected data was analyzed to address the research objectives, with social responsibility and watchdog role of media theories serving as the theoretical framework.


The study reveals that the "Caayaa" investigative television program on OBN primarily focuses on issues of public and national concern. However, the investigations conducted were found to be shallow and lacking in-depth research to uncover possible hidden facts. The program heavily relies on community complaints as a major source for investigations. Nonetheless, it has successfully held governmental officials accountable for their actions, challenged stakeholders, exposed crimes, and influenced policy, administration, and public debate. The program's major success lies in supporting public complaints and claims with factual-based investigations.


While the "Caayaa" program predominantly investigates governmental organizations, there is a need to broaden its scope to include non-governmental institutions, private organizations, religious organizations, and individuals.


The practice of investigative journalism on OBN faces challenges such as the absence of guaranteed protection for investigative journalists, limited access to information for investigative reporters, and a shortage of manpower and time to conduct in-depth investigations. Investigative reporting requires extensive analysis and time-consuming work; therefore, OBN should allocate sufficient time for the program, from planning to reporting the end result.


In conclusion, this research sheds light on the practice and challenges of investigative journalism on the "Caayaa" program of OBN. It highlights the program's strengths in holding officials accountable and making an impact in public discourse, while also identifying areas for improvement and addressing the challenges faced in conducting investigative journalism.

Community as a stakeholder in corporate social and environmental reporting

description: The notion of organisational stakeholders having a claim in corporate social responsibility is implicit in stakeholder theory. The nature of stakeholder relations, however, has been explored only to a limited extent. Further, the nature of specific stakeholder relationships has received little attention. This paper looks at community as an organisational stakeholder, specifically at the nature of the relationship between the community and the organisation. It focuses particularly on community as a stakeholder in social and environmental reporting. Social and environmental reporting is a method employed by many organisations to provide non-financial information about the company to its various stakeholders. Firstly, the question of how stakeholders are identified is addressed. Definitions and typologies of stakeholders are considered. Existing frameworks for understanding stakeholder relationships are then explored. Importantly, not only are the attributes of the stakeholder considered, but also the attributes of the organisation and of the relationship itself. The relationship between organisation and the community is then constructed. Factors that potentially make up this relationship are identified. A model that postulates the interrelationships between these variables is developed. The potential impact of national culture, particularly in the Australasian region, is considered. Finally, implications for further research are presented.
