This paper argues that the uncertainties involved in understanding financial market developments and their potential impact on the real economy are likely to remain too high to embolden policy makers. The political and...; Tags: Asset, Asset Price, Financial, Financial Market, University Of Queensland, Corollary, Financial Accounting, Finance; White papers 2003-12-02
Measuring Efficiency Externalities From Trade And Alternative Forms Of Foreign Investment: The paper has concentrated on evaluating technological spillovers from trade and inflows of Foreign Direct Investment FDI. Little effort has been directed towards identifying efficiency externalities arising from international linkages. This paper evaluates these for a sample of 20 OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development) countries between 1982 and...; Tags: Inflow, Foreign Direct Investment, University Of Queensland, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Currency & Foreign Exchange, Investment, Finance; White papers 2005-06-01
Metafrontier Frameworks For The Study Of Firm-Level Efficiencies And Technology Ratios: This paper uses the concept of a metafrontier to compare the technical efficiencies of firms that may be classified into different groups. The paper presents the basic analytical framework necessary for the definition of a metafrontier, shows how a metafrontier can be estimated using non-parametric and parametric methods, and presents...; Tags: Paper, University Of Queensland; White papers 2006-10-24
Metafrontier Functions For The Study Of Inter-Regional Productivity Differences: This paper uses the concept of the metafrontier function to study regional differences in production technologies. The paper has three components. The first deals with the analytical framework necessary for the definition of a metafrontier function. The second component studies the properties of a metafrontier function estimated using non-parametric Data...; Tags: Function, University Of Queensland; White papers 2004-08-01
Estimating State-Contingent Production Frontiers: Chambers and Quiggin (2000) advocate the use of state-contingent production technologies to represent risky production and establish important theoretical results concerning producer behaviour under uncertainty. Unfortunately, perceived problems in the estimation of state-contingent models have limited the usefulness of the approach in policy formulation. It was shown that fixed and...; Tags: University Of Queensland, Production Frontier; White papers 2004-07-01

The State-Contingent Approach To Production Under Uncertainty: The central aim of this paper is that the state-contingent approach provides the best vides way to think about all t problems in the economics of uncertainty, including problems of consumer choice, the theory of the firm, and principal - agent relationships. This claim is illustrated by nowadays developments in,...; Tags: Uncertainty, Agent, University Of Queensland, Real Estate, Business Operations; White papers 2007-05-29
Measuring Spillovers From Alternative Forms Of Foreign Investment: Much of the endogenous growth literature has dwelled on evaluating the spillover effects of trade on growth, but much less efforts have been directed towards tracing and quantifying the spillover effects of foreign investments. This paper, in incorporating the effects of various types of foreign investments, namely Foreign Direct Investment...; Tags: Spillover, University Of Queensland, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Currency & Foreign Exchange, Investment, Finance; White papers 2004-03-01
Regulatory Reform And Economic Performance In US Electricity Generation: This paper investigates the effect of the introduction of incentive regulation upon the Total Factor Productivity TFP growth of electricity generation companies in the United States, using sample data on 61 firms observed over a 13-year period from 1986 to 1998. Empirical estimates of TFP growth are obtained using three...; Tags: Technique, Incentive, Economic Performance, Total Factor Productivity, University Of Queensland, Productivity, Sales Force Management, Sales; White papers 2004-09-01
All The Conditions Of Effective Foreign Aid: The conclusion that foreign aid will promote economic growth only when allocated towards good policy regimes has been the subject of considerable debate. Aid effectiveness researchers have variously sought to falsify this result or to find other individual conditions of aid effectiveness. However, economic theory suggests that any factor which...; Tags: Condition, Aid, University Of Queensland, Investment, Finance; White papers 2004-11-01
Productivity At The Post: Its Drivers And Its Distribution: The authors have studied the economic, financial and distributional performance of the United States Postal Service subsequent to its 1971 reorganization. The economic drivers of productivity change (technical change, change in cost efficiency, and scale economies), and the distribution of the financial benefits of productivity change (consumers of postal services,...; Tags: Productivity, University Of Queensland, Financial Accounting, Finance; White papers 2007-03-13
Type Of Day Forecasting: In last few years the dynamic of the telecommunications industry has changed significantly. The deregulation and increased competition in the telecommunications industry has increased the pressure for forecasters to understand the new market and to be able to incorporate and respond quickly to new changes. The purpose of this paper...; Tags: Revenue, Mobile, Forecasting, Telecommunications Industry, University Of Queensland, Advertising & Promotion, Operational Accounting, Marketing, Finance; White papers 2005-11-15
Managing Process Variants As An Information Resource: Many business solutions provide best practice process templates, both generic as well as for specific industry sectors. However, it is often the variance from template solutions that provide organizations with intellectual capital and competitive differentiation. In this paper, we present a modeling framework that is conducive to constrained variance, by...; Tags: Adaptation, Modeling, University Of Queensland, Research & Development, Strategy, Business Operations, Management; White papers 2006-06-02
Process Components For Quality Evaluation And Quality Improvement: Processes and methods used for software construction have a high influence on the quality of the resulting software product. Therefore, the research in the field of method engineering should be more focused on quality aspects. Due to this reason, this paper proposes, process components for quality evaluation and quality improvement....; Tags: Software, Quality Improvement, Component, University Of Queensland, Tools & Techniques, Management; White papers 2004-09-28
On The Aggregation Of Total Factor Productivity Measures: This paper aims to examine and evaluate the behaviour of all the efficiency measures developed by Fare and Zelenyuk (2003) when we relax the assumptions that: Firms face the same price; and no reallocation of resources among firms. In fact, the paper numerically examines the behaviour of the aggregate efficiency...; Tags: Total Factor Productivity, University Of Queensland, Efficiency Measure; White papers 2003-12-01
Relations Between Dispersed Sales Teams and Manufacturing Teams: The goal of this paper is to identify key factors that affect the sales and manufacturing relationship in light of changing business environments.

The authors would suggest that since she has written it...; Tags: Disability, University Of Queensland, Gillian Fulcher, Globalization, Strategy, Management; White papers 2003-07-01
Not Every Change Is Continuous Improvement: This paper has two main sections: the first section presents an examination of characteristics of change and of continuous improvement. It provides a theoretical underpinning for the continuous improvement utilised at CQU. The CQU model for continuous improvement, "Business Process Improvement Model" has been developed taking into account contemporary business...; Tags: Continuous Improvement, Business Process, University Of Queensland, Operational Planning, Business Operations; White papers 2005-02-05
Managing the Change Associated With Implementing Administrative Information Systems in Universities: This paper reports the work in progress of an applied study examining implementations of administrative information systems or Enterprise Resource Planning ERP systems in three Australian universities.
