Realistic Representation, Dynamic Evolution and Determinants of Institutional Quality in China

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper delves into the role of institutional quality in bolstering China's economic resilience post‐COVID‐19, CITIC‐Entropy. It divides institutions into basic and changeable categories, establishing an index system via the CITIC‐Entropy TOPSIS model.

Estimation of the stationary distribution of a semi-Markov chain

This article is concerned with the estimation of the stationary distribution of a discretetime semi-Markov process. After briefly presenting the discrete-time semi-Markov setting, wepropose an estimator of the associated stationary distribution. The main

Mean-variance optimality for semi-Markov decision processes under first passage criteria [PDF]

, 2017
summary:This paper deals with a first passage mean-variance problem for semi-Markov decision processes in Borel spaces. The goal is to minimize the variance of a total discounted reward up to the system's first entry to some target set, where the ...

A Tale of Two Transitions: Mobility Dynamics in China and Russia After Central Planning

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines intergenerational mobility in China and Russia during their transitions from central planning to market systems. We consider mobility as movement, measured as changes in status between parents and children. We provide estimates of two key mobility measures: overall mobility, which captures total intergenerational movement ...

Hidden Semi Markov Models for Multiple Observation Sequences: The mhsmm Package for R [PDF]

This paper describes the R package mhsmm which implements estimation and prediction methods for hidden Markov and semi-Markov models for multiple observation sequences. Such techniques are of interest when observed data is thought to be dependent on some

Mixed Markov Decision Processes in a Semi-Markov Environment with Discounted Criterion [PDF]

, 1998
This paper presents a new model: the mixed Markov decision process (MDP) in a semi-Markov environment with discounted criterion. It describes a system which behaves like a MDP except that the system is influenced by its semi-Markov process environment ...

The Relationship Between Human Activities and Ecosystem Service Supply–Demand From the Perspective of Land Use Transformation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The equilibrium between ecosystem service supply and demand relationships (ESSDR) is essential for regional sustainable development. Understanding the relationship between human activity intensity (HAI) and ESSDR from the perspective of land use transformation (LT) is important for ecological management and governance.

Unraveling the Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Nonlinear Drivers of Green Transition of Farmland Use in Major Grain‐Producing Areas: A Case Study of Jiangsu Province, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Promoting the green transition of farmland use (GTFU) in major grain‐producing areas is essential for ensuring food security and advancing sustainable agricultural development. However, existing studies on GTFU have predominantly relied on static cross‐sectional analyses, with insufficient attention paid to its nonlinear driving mechanisms. To

Stochastic-based pavement performance and deterioration models: A review of techniques and applications

Alexandria Engineering Journal
Infrastructure assets, such as pavements, naturally deteriorate over time due to traffic loads, environmental conditions, and other external factors. Traditionally, deterministic models have been employed to predict performance, aiding in work planning ...
