HDIनिर्देशांकातील सर्वाधिक महत्वपुर्ण बाब म्हणजे, दिर्घायुष्य, स्वस्थ जीवन, शिक्षण प्राप्तीची संधी आणि उत्कृष्ट जीवनाचा स्तर तसेच यातील अन्य महत्वाच्या बाबी म्हणजे राजनैतीक स्वतंत्रता, मानवाधिकाराची ग्वाही आणि आत्मसन्मानाची विविध तत्व होते.UNDP चा मानव विकास रिपोर्ट हा तीन तत्वांचे संमिश्रण आहे. ते म्हणजे . 1) जन्माच्या वेळी जीवन संभाव्यता. 2) शिक्षणाचा स्तर. (प्रौढ शिक्षणाचा दर, प्राथमिक,माध्यमिक,उच्च शिक्षणाचा दर) 3) जीवनाचा स्तर. (USD वर आधारीत प्रती व्यक्ति GDP) या तीन तत्वांचे अधिकतम आणि न्युनतम मुल्याच्या आधारे HDIनिर्देशांकाची सरासरी आखली जाते. या रिपोर्ट नुसार भारत सन 2006 मध्ये HDI निर्देशांकाच्या क्रमवारीत 126 व्या क्रमांकावर होता. सन 2008 मध्ये UNDP चे भारतातील प्रतीनिधी मैक्सिन ओल्सन व योजना आयोगाचे उपाध्यक्ष मोटेक सिंह अहलूवालीया यांनी दिल्ली येथे मानव विकास रिपोर्ट प्रकाशीत केला, यात भारत देश 128 (Value 0.619) व्या क्रमांकावर आहे. सन 2006 च्या तुलनेत भारत दोन क्रमांकाने खाली घसरलेला असल्याचे दिसून येतो. English Abstract: UNDP first published the Human Development Report in 1990 in collaboration with economist Mehboob Haque, who is credited as the promoter of the VKP Index. The most important aspects of the CPI index are longevity, healthy living, educational attainment and quality of life, among others. Political independence, human rights testimony and self-respect are the various elements. That is. 1) Life expectancy at birth. 2) Level of education. (Rate of adult education, rate of primary, secondary, higher education) 3) The standard of living. (Lack of per capita based on NAC) The VKP index is averaged based on the maximum and minimum values of these three elements. According to the report, India was ranked 126th in the CPI index in 2006. In 2008, Maxine Olson, India's Representative to India, and Motek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, published the Human Development Report in Delhi, which ranked India 128th and 619th. Compared to 2006, India has slipped two places. The National Human Development Report is published by the Government of India with the assistance of the Planning Commission. The Human Development Report was published in 2001. The Planning Commission, while preparing the National Human Development Report, relied on new indicators different from the NPC's VP indicators.","PeriodicalId":198263,"journal":{"name":"Other Economics Research eJournal","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132751754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model is motivated by the empirical finding that active stock market participation is associated with higher level of education and employment experience in the finance sector. The model exhibits good fit on portfolio choice, home-ownership, consumption pattern in the cross- section and through life-cycle. We find that the lack of stock market access, proxied by a fixed entry cost and variable costs, plays a key role in generating heterogeneous outcome in agent’s wealth accumulation, and therefore, increases wealth inequality.","PeriodicalId":198263,"journal":{"name":"Other Economics Research eJournal","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114267324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our data, extracted from the Web of Science database, cover global production as indexed in 302 journals in Economics and 370 journals in Management, with respectively 153 667 and 163 567 articles published between 2008 and 2018. Results show that collaborative practices between men and women are quite different in Economics and Management. We also find that there is a positive and significant effect of gender diversity on the academic impact of publications. Mixed-gender publications (co-authored by men and women) receive more citations than non-mixed papers (written by same-gender author teams) or single-author publications. The effect is slightly stronger in Management. The regression analysis also indicates that there is, for both disciplines, a small negative effect on citations received if the corresponding author is a woman.","PeriodicalId":198263,"journal":{"name":"Other Economics Research eJournal","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131529436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the fact that knowledge being dispersed, tacit, existing in fractions and thus unable to be possessed by a single mind seems to be an obvious empirical observation, its significance was not fully appreciated by the profession until the publication of Hayek's (1945) The Use of Knowledge in Society. Though the initial intention of Hayek when writing the paper was to contribute to the socialist calculation debate, Hayek (1945) represents a broader point of view regarding the dynamic nature of the market. Furthermore, by calling attention to the knowledge problem, the paper of Hayek set forth a whole new path for the development of modern Austrian economics that has been continued to the present. This paper aims at summarizing such a significance and powerful influence.","PeriodicalId":198263,"journal":{"name":"Other Economics Research eJournal","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121494027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insight into triggers of family violence can inform policy and improve services aimed at reducing abusive behavior. We investigate potential domestic violence triggers by analyzing unexpected losses in National Basketball Association games. The literature identifies increasing in-home violence after unexpected losses in the National Football League. Combining information on referee accuracy and fatigue, we develop a unique identification strategy to explore the impact of human error on family violence following unexpected losses. Results indicate that as referees are more accurate (more rested) in unexpected losses, family violence decreases, suggesting that the ability to place blame for a loss on referees increases the likelihood of violent outbursts. Further investigation shows that these results concentrate in games where referees are less rested and betting markets were less certain of the game outcome.","PeriodicalId":198263,"journal":{"name":"Other Economics Research eJournal","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121576473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This creates demand for methods like meta-analysis that objectively consolidate and evaluate the empricial literature in a research field. Meta-analysis is a group of statistical methods to aggregate prior empirical studies, to discover and explain consistencies as well as inconsistencies within reported results, and to detect and filter out distorting effects from publication selection or model misspecification. While meta-analysis is a standard tool for research synthesis and evidence-based decisions in many related research disciplines, such as management, marketing, or economics, it has been rarely applied in finance. The goal of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview and discussion of the opportunities of meta-analytical research in finance, to present recent applications of meta-analysis in finance, as well as to discuss related challenges and limitations. Thereby, we aim at increasing the awareness and acceptance of meta-analysis and stimulating its future application in the finance field.","PeriodicalId":198263,"journal":{"name":"Other Economics Research eJournal","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126330014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine how the positioning of IT-producing firms within their networks of strategic alliances moderates profits from R&D investments. We posit that alliances with IT-consuming firms generate relation-specific rents that, in turn, protect the value of R&D investments by making software innovations difficult for rivals to appropriate. Among IT-producing firms, we make a distinction between software consulting and services firms and software package-product firms. Our analyses of 464 IT-producing firms for the 14-year period 1996-2009 suggest that IT-producing firms’ returns on R&D investments increase with alliance ties to IT-consuming firms. We also find that alliances with IT-consuming firms have a more beneficial effect on R&D investment returns for software consulting and services firms than for software package-product firms. Our findings yield nuanced insights into how IT-producing firms should position themselves within a network of alliances with IT-consuming firms. We discuss implications for research and practice.","PeriodicalId":198263,"journal":{"name":"Other Economics Research eJournal","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128268167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The music intelligence technology, retrieving and utilizing granular acoustic features of songs, provides opportunities to improve the prediction of top hit songs. Using data on 6,209 unique songs that appeared in the weekly Billboard Hot 100 charts from 1998 to 2016, especially acoustic features provided by Spotify, we investigate empirically how the top-10-hit-songs likelihood prediction is improved by acoustic features. We find that some acoustic features (e.g., danceability and happiness) significantly improve the prediction accuracy of the top-10-hit-songs probability.

The universe of the study was the whole world. The study major objective was to study quarantine role in the control of corona virus in the world and its impact on the world economy. Secondary data was used and total 14 articles were downloaded from the net and studied 10 to 20 times and analyzed the situation. The results indicates that the quarantine play important role in corona virus control but on the other side disturb the business activities of the world which affect the price level of different commodities of the world, and create unemployment problems in the world which further negatively affected the socioeconomic conditions of the world community. Through this way balance of trades of all the countries of the world negatively affected which further disturb the prosperity of the world. So quarantine on one side control the corona virus in the world, while on the other side affect all business activities of the world and make the world environment unfavorable, which crash the whole world economy. Similarly when first corona virus appeared in China Wuhan where in the first instance it was not declared due to unavoidable effect on the China economy while lately it was announced because of this the corona spread into the whole world now 100 countries have been affected and total 200000 persons were infected by this virus. Out of the whole 70% belong to China and 30 percent belong to other remaining countries of the world. It was the main reason of the poor quarantine of the world countries and delay information of the China which was given to We chat by Dr.Li which latter on died by this virus. The study also explained that the quarantine of the world of all the countries are very weak and because of this the people which came from Wuhan were not properly checked and allow to their countries which latter on spread the Corona virus in their countries and make environment unfavorable and multiplied the number of affected in the world and crash the economy and spread a huge panic in the world. Now UNO try for solution while WHO on the start not focus on the quarantine and told that no need of the quarantine while latter on the epidemic reached to multiple countries of the world which killed large number of people in their countries. So quarantine and social distance are the two factors which reduce the corona virus in the world while on other side which affect the world economy negatively. If the epidemic continue for large time then there is a chance of world economy crashing because the number of corona virus in China day by day decreasing while in other countries of the world day by day increasing which have closed all department of the world countries out of China. China has controlled the situation and the number digit came into single while in other countries the digit increase, such as Italy, South Korea, Iran, are the top countries in the world.
