Application of Functionals in Creating Inequalities

Journal of Function Spaces, 2016
The paper deals with the fundamental inequalities for convex functions in the bounded closed interval. The main inequality includes convex functions and positive linear functionals extending and refining the functional form of Jensen’s inequality.

Policy Progress in Using Economic Policy Instruments to Improve Nutrition: Challenges and Opportunities

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Economic policy can be a powerful instrument to influence food environments and support improved diets and health. Over the past 20 years, the use of fiscal policy to improve diets has increased dramatically. This paper reviews the trajectory of policy change, and explores the ways in which research has informed three different dimensions of ...

Improved Hermite–Hadamard Inequality Bounds for Riemann–Liouville Fractional Integrals via Jensen’s Inequality

Fractal and Fractional
This paper derives the sharp bounds for Hermite–Hadamard inequalities in the context of Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals. A generalization of Jensen’s inequality called the Jensen–Mercer inequality is used for general points to find the new and ...

Looking Back and Looking Forward: Thirty Years of Evidence on Strategic HRM Systems and Performance (1995–2025)

Human Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on how to leverage high‐performance work systems (HPWS) and other strategic human resource management (HRM) systems to improve performance outcomes has long been a cornerstone of the HRM discipline. This study offers a comprehensive mapping of the field through bibliometric analysis and a thematic synthesis of 3503 peer‐reviewed ...

On an upper bound for Sherman’s inequality

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2016
Considering a weighted relation of majorization, Sherman obtained a useful generalization of the classical majorization inequality. The aim of this paper is to extend Sherman’s inequality to convex functions of higher order.

ESG Performance and Credit Risk: Evidence From Chinese Manufacturing Companies

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effect of corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance on credit risk using a sample of manufacturing firms listed on China's Shanghai and Shenzhen A‐share markets from 2009 to 2021. Employing fixed effects, the generalised method of moments, and instrumental variable models, we find that ...

Refinements of the integral form of Jensen’s and the Lah–Ribarič inequalities and applications for Csiszár divergence

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2020
In this paper, we give refinements of the integral form of Jensen’s inequality and the Lah–Ribarič inequality. Using these results, we obtain a refinement of the Hölder inequality and a refinement of some inequalities for integral power means and ...

Inconsistency of the Capital Asset Pricing Model in a Multi‐Currency Environment

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is a widely adopted model in asset pricing theory and portfolio construction because of its intuitive nature. One of its main conclusions is that there exists a global market portfolio that each rational investor should hold in proportion to the risk‐free asset. In this paper, we demonstrate theoretically
