“There's Pressure to Use Standard English”: Lingering Linguicism in the Work of Signed Language Interpreters

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Applied linguistics and interpreting have much in common; however, the education of signed language interpreters in the States provides barely any applied linguistics training. Linguistic racism (linguicism) frames the education and evaluation of sign language interpreters.

Goodness‐of‐Fit Tests for Positive Quadrant Dependence

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary When two random variables are positive quadrant dependent (PQD), they are more likely to assume small (or large) values simultaneously compared with when the random variables are independent. This dependence structure is of interest in many areas, including finance, actuarial science and engineering.

The Evolution of Interest‐Rate Models: From the Yield Curve to the Swaption Cube

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interest‐rate modelling is often taught as a catalogue of competing stochastic equations, obscuring why models were created and why modern sell‐side desks use several simultaneously. This survey reorganises the field around five layers of a pricing architecture: curve construction; arbitrage‐free dynamics; volatility‐smile representation ...

Acquirer Strategic Orientations, Integration Decisions, and Performance

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Integration decisions are not isolated, as they are embedded in an organizational context. Using a multi‐country sample (Nordics, German speaking Europe, and China) of small‐ and medium‐sized acquirers, we explore the influence of firm strategic orientations on how managers conceptualize acquisitions, make integration decisions, and impact ...

The Effect of Board Leadership Roles and Committee Responsibilities on Governance Effectiveness

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Expectations for corporate directors have expanded over time, placing growing demands on their time and attention. Drawing on the cognitive foundations of the attention‐based view (ABV), we theorize that board directors' leadership roles and committee assignments shape their attentional perspective and engagement in ways that can both hinder ...

Streamflow Simulation Based on Copula Function

工程科学与技术, 2009
:The kernel of stochastic model is the construction of joint distribution or conditional probability distribution. A first-order non-stationary time series model, namely seasonal CAR(1), was established based on Copula function and compared with seasonal

The Great Temporal Divide: How Top Management Team Temporal Faultlines and Dominant Subgroups Shape Firm Innovativeness in Iran

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract While executives vary in attention to the past, present, and future, prior work has largely examined these temporal orientations in isolation or at the individual level, which limits insight into how they jointly configure within top management teams (TMTs) and translate into firm behaviours.

A joint model of cost and churn for the insurance industry

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract In insurance markets, claim costs are highly variable, heavy‐tailed, and difficult to predict. At the same time, policyholder retention and lapse behavior (customer churn) are critical determinants of long‐term profitability and solvency. Most existing models in the literature treat claim costs and lapses as independent, overlooking potential ...

On Testing for Independence Between Generalized Error Models of Several Time Series

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We define generalized innovations associated with generalized error models having arbitrary distributions, that is, distributions that can be mixtures of continuous and discrete distributions. These models include stochastic volatility models and regime‐switching models with possibly zero‐inflated regimes.
