The effect of corruption on FDI: A parametric and non-parametric analysis [PDF]
European Journal of Political Economy, 2012 This paper analyses the effect of corruption on Multinational Enterprises' (MNEs) incentives to undertake FDI in a particular country. We contribute to the existing literature by modelling the relationship between corruption and FDI using both parametric and non-parametric methods.

Compressive Behavior of a Fully Prefabricated Liftable Connection for Modular Steel Construction
Buildings, 2022 Modular steel construction (MSC) consists of the off-site prefabrication of a fully finished module and the on-site assembling of the module unit. The popularity of MSC is on the rise, attributable to its technical advantages of speed and quality of ...

Flutter Optimization of Large Swept-Back Tri-Wing Flight Vehicles
Aerospace, 2023 The aerodynamic configuration of large swept-back tri-wings is generally adopted for hypersonic vehicles, but the structural stiffness of the ailerons is weak, which may lead to damage due to the flutter behavior.

Analysis of parametric and non-parametric option pricing models
Heliyon, 2022 In this paper, a closed-form analytical solution of option price under the Bi-Heston model is derived. Through empirical analysis, the advantages and disadvantages of the parametric pricing model are compared and analysed with those of the non-parametric model.

Parametric Timing Analysis [PDF]
Proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN workshop on Languages, compilers and tools for embedded systems, 2001 Embedded systems often have real-time constraints. Traditional timing analysis statically determines the maximum execution time of a task or a program in a real-time system. These systems typically depend on the worst-case execution time of tasks in order to make static scheduling decisions so that tasks can meet their deadlines.
