Impact of care responsibilities on women’s employment: a comparison between European and East Asian welfare states
2017
ABSTRACTWomen with care responsibilities tend to reduce their labour market activity and to work part time, even if there are cross-national differences. Empirical research often analyses this separately for childcare and elderly care, and studies are usually limited to Western societies. This article aims to explore to what extent women’s care responsibilities for children and older people impact on women’s labour market integration and how this impact differs in the context of different welfare states in Europe and Asia. The analysis is based on data from a new comparative survey for four cities (Jyvaskyla, Hamburg, Bologna and Hsinchu) in four countries (Finland, Germany, Italy and Taiwa…
Influence of Advertising on Brand Personality in The Airline Sector: The Case of Spain
2013
This article outlines the findings of a study employing a partial least squares (PLS) structural equation methodology to explore the relationship among advertising and brand personality (BP) dimension of a validated Aaker's model (1997) in the airline business. BP refers to the emotional side of brand image. It is created by all experiences of consumers with a brand. The model was validated using confirmatory factor analysis and the effect of advertising on BP has been tested using PLS. The findings suggest that advertising influences the formation of BP only in the sophistication dimension. These results invite managers in the airline companies sector to develop communication strategies to…
ANÁLISIS DEL COMPORTAMIENTO DE QUEJA DEL CONSUMIDOR: UNA INVESTIGACIÓN EXPLORATORIA EN EL CONTEXTO DE LOS RESTAURANTES /
2008
RESUMENEl objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la contribución que tiene una serie de determinantes en el comportamiento de queja con el fin de identificar la combinación que mejor explica las respuestas de queja, a terceras partes y privadas. Utilizando el contexto de los restaurantes y la metodología basada en modelos de regresión múltiple (método secuencial de estimación paso a paso), los resultados más relevantes indican que la probabilidad de éxito de la queja es la variable que mayor influencia tiene sobre las respuestas de queja, mientras que es el nivel de insatisfacción en el caso de las respuestas privadas.ABSTRACTThe aim of this paper is to analyze the contribution that a set of …
Assessing the Impact of Temporary Retail Price Discounts Intervals Using SVM Semiparametric Regression
2009
Although the marketing literature has found that temporary retail price discounts cause a significant sales increase, little is known about the specific characteristics of deals that influence the magnitude of the sales spike. In this paper, we analyse the impact of the length of temporary retail price discounts periods on the sales increase using scanner-store daily-sales data for two frequently purchased product categories: ground coffee (a storable category) and yogurt (a perishable category).Wedevelop a robust semiparametric regression model based on support vector statistical theory with several previously proposed predictors along with a daily time description. This model also makes i…
A novel application of fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to GEM data
2016
Abstract This study constitutes a novel application of fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data. This study seeks to demonstrate that fsQCA enriches previous conclusions from linear regression analyses that state that a relationship exists between the GEM's Total Entrepreneurial Activity rate (TEA) and variables representing entrepreneurial attitudes and social values of adult populations toward entrepreneurship. FsQCA allows researchers to estimate which of these attitudes and social values are necessary, sufficient, or both for full membership in the set of most entrepreneurial active countries within the set of GEM innovation-driven countri…
Evaluating temporary retail price discounts using semiparametric regression
2009
PurposeTo analyze the impact of temporary retail price discount on a consumer goods product category using semiparametric regression and considering different promotional price discount characteristics as well as brand characteristics.Design/methodology/approachA semiparametric regression model using Support Vector Machines, which aim to evaluate retailers' decisions about temporary price discounts, has been developed. The model is derived from the analysis of historical sales data, which provide precise evaluation of previous temporary price discounts periods. The model is also consistent with ample empirical evidence showing that historical retail sales data can be used to evaluate the im…
Quantile regression for the FDI gravity equation
2015
Abstract Firm-level heterogeneity shapes foreign direct investment (FDI) flows, whereby a few firms are responsible for most of the world's FDI. Aggregate outcomes of FDI are highly skewed, and the estimates of FDI's antecedents vary largely depending on FDI level. The incidence of individual firms, however, varies across FDI's quantiles. To study the individual firms' effect on FDI flows, this study develops a quantile regression method for bilateral FDI panel data. This study estimates the differential incidence of individual firm-level projects on aggregate flows among 161 countries from 2003 to 2012. Results suggest that FDI's determinants vary across quantiles. In particular, the effec…
Three decades of subsidiary exits: Parent firm financial performance and moderators
2020
Abstract This study aimed to find important constructs and relationships among models of subsidiary divestment during the period from 1989 to 2018 using correlation matrices of 80 studies, the selection of which was based on six criteria. It revealed eight important constructs, namely firm innovativeness, environmental factors in the target country, type of experience, organizational characteristics, investment strategy, parent firm financial performance, subsidiary divestment, and the moderating effects of advertising intensity and product diversification. Furthermore, it shed light on seven relationships that should be considered in future attempts to assess parent performance related to …
Individualized evaluation of health cost and health risks
2019
Abstract This paper presents an individualized evaluation of the health costs and health risks of haze pollution by conduction channels and conduction strengths. Ordinal probit model and quantile regression are used to analyze data on individuals in Hangzhou, an environmental friendly city in China. The analyses yield four findings. First, in Hangzhou, haze pollution increases citizens' health spending by >2.49 billion US dollars. Second, health costs are mainly driven by increased risks of respiratory infection. Third, the quantile analysis of health risks shows the conduction channels and corresponding strengths vary for different population groups by age and health status. Lastly, respon…
