Lorenz Curve Interpolation and the Gini Coefficient

This article presents a simple non-polynomial spline that may be used to construct Lorenz curves from grouped data. The spline is naturally convex and works by determining a series of piecewise segments that may be joined to give a smooth and continuous ...

Bridging Knowledge Capability Gaps: Digital Technology Offsetting in Interfirm Knowledge Transfer

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In this digital age, the adoption of digital technology (DT) is changing traditional business processes. Against this backdrop, we try to answer the question of whether DT could effectively bridge any interfirm knowledge capability gaps. Though effective knowledge transfer is dependent on the sender's and the receiver's knowledge capabilities,

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 ...

Inertia or Adaptability? The Effects of Outside Director Incumbency Capital on Incumbent Firms' Adoption of Discontinuous Technologies

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We fuse research on incumbents' adaptation to discontinuous technologies with board capital theory to investigate how heterogeneity in incumbent firms' adoption of discontinuous technologies may be affected by what we label as outside director incumbency capital—the specific subset of social capital and human capital that outside directors ...

An alternative functional form for estimating the Lorenz curve

We propose a simple single parameter functional form for the Lorenz curve. The new specification is fitted to existing data sets and is shown to provide a better fit than existing single parameter Lorenz curves for the given data.Gini coefficient Lorenz ...

Influence of human disturbance on the activity patterns and spatiotemporal interactions of wolves and their prey in an Italian stronghold

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The intensification of human activities exerts an influence on animal behaviour, resulting in noticeable shifts in species distributions, movements, and activity patterns. Differential responses among sympatric species, influenced by human disturbance, have the potential to alter species interactions, such as predator‐prey relationships.
