Stability of Conformable Non-autonomous Non-instantaneous Impulsive Differential Equations
Miskolc Mathematical NotesThis paper focus on a type of conformable non-autonomous non-instantaneous impulsive equation. Firstly, we give a kind of non-autonomous conformable Cauchy matrix to present the solution of linear and nonlinear systems. Then, we investigate the asymptotic stability of linear homogeneous problem and the exponential stability of linear perturbed problem.

On the Comovement of Contango and Backwardation Across Futures Commodity Markets
Journal of Futures Markets, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine the time‐varying nature of the comovement of the slope of the futures curve in major agricultural, metals and energy commodity futures markets in a Global Vector Autoregressive model. We find significant comovement between the slopes, indicating the co‐existence of backwardation and contango in many seemingly unrelated commodity ...

Strategic Delay and Bargaining Over Public Insurance Coverage for Drugs in Australia
Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Public funding for pharmaceuticals often follows repeated negotiation between manufacturers and a public agency, yet little empirical work examines how the timing of agreement reflects the economic structure of these interactions. Using a duration model of negotiations in Australia from 2005 to 2018, we assess whether observed patterns of ...

(How) Can Performance Appraisals Improve Employee Creativity? A Multidimensional Perspective
Human Resource Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Performance appraisal (PA) is commonly used by organizations to manage their employees. However, the role of PAs in employee creativity remains ambiguous, with positive, negative, or even nonsignificant relationships reported in the literature. The aim of the present research is to address this ambiguity.
