Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test validations endorsed stationarity of all variables upon first differencing. Through the deployment of Johansen's cointegration methodology, a long-term positive impact of real exchange rate oscillations on the trade deficit was discerned. Furthermore, the implementation of an error correction model (ECM) furnished additional perspectives regarding the dynamic interplay amongst the variables under consideration. The findings elucidate the repercussions of financial crises on Iran’s current account deficit, revealing a palpable influence of exchange rate volatilities on economic stability and providing insights into the nuanced macroeconomic relationships amidst periods of fiscal turmoil. The research underscores the exigency for robust fiscal and monetary strategies to navigate the intricacies of economic vulnerabilities and fortify against ensuing financial perturbations.","PeriodicalId":481018,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational and Strategic Analytics","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135039118","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 study endeavors to address this need by advocating the most apt functional form of the production process for predominant manufacturing sectors. The central objective has been the maximization of output through the application of the Cobb-Douglas production function, investigated separately for both two-input and three-input scenarios. It is ascertained which of the two models exhibits greater efficacy. Subsequently, parameters of the production function are estimated utilizing advanced optimization subroutines.","PeriodicalId":481018,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational and Strategic Analytics","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135126652","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}

Comparisons (ordering) are straightforward when dealing with ordinary numbers, yet in many instances, the data are imprecise, vague, or subject to seasonal variations. Consequently, such data may be unknown or derive from expert opinions. Unlike ordinary numbers, fuzzy data render quotients only partially ordered. This study examines the linear ordering of quotients with fuzzy data, expressed in terms of confidence intervals, $alpha$-cuts, or piecewise quadratic fuzzy numbers (PQFNs), within the context of cost-efficiency problems. Moreover, the challenges associated with quotient ordering in cost-efficiency problems are introduced.","PeriodicalId":481018,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational and Strategic Analytics","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082884","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}

Primarily, the focus is on assigning different levels of importance to each parameter within the set, which enables a more nuanced and flexible evaluation process. This is underpinned by the development of several related concepts and the definition of basic operations such as complement, subset, union, and intersection. In the quest for clarity, the nuances of these operations and the overall framework of the FP-SVNSS method are illustrated via numerous examples. The superiority of the FP-SVNSS method over other decision-making methods is affirmed through a comprehensive comparison. The unique strength of the proposed approach lies in its ability to handle imperfect, ambiguous, and inconsistent data. Consequently, it offers greater accuracy and practicality than existing models. In the latter part of the study, the theory is put to the test by tackling a real-world decision-making problem. The selected case involves the optimal selection of hard disks, a common issue in information technology procurement. The successful application of the FP-SVNSS method to this issue provides a compelling demonstration of its potential value in practical settings. Through the exploration of this innovative decision-making methodology, this research contributes to the broader field of soft computing and decision-making theory. The findings suggest a myriad of future applications of the FP-SVNSS method in dealing with various complex and fuzzy problems in both academic and industrial contexts.","PeriodicalId":481018,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operational and Strategic Analytics","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135049660","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}
