Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfluence of Environmental Risk on the Financial Structure of Oil and Gas ProjectsBagilya Karsybayeva, Alberto De MarcoThe risk profile of a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project affects its debt service ability. In particular, the total risk profile of an oil and gas project is heavily influenced by its environmental risk exposure. However, this risk is often not given a considerable weight in risk analysis, resulting in underestimation of project’s total riskiness and consequent overestimation of the debt capacity. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2013 · 7,195 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Sensitivity of a Dynamic Measure of Financial InequalityGuglielmo D’Amico, Stefania Scocchera, Loriano StorchiIn the present work, we investigate the sensitivity of the dynamic Theil index computed under a Markov reward model with respect to structured perturbations affecting the underlying Markov process. The model is applied to the sovereign credit spread evolution as a proxy for financial risk, which are driven by the sovereign credit rating dynamic. The introduction of such perturbations allows … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 25 Oct 2019 · 7,264 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESTIMATION OF CLAIM COST DATA USING ZERO ADJUSTED GAMMA AND INVERSE GAUSSIAN REGRESSION MODELSYulia Resti, Noriszura Ismail, Saiful Hafizah JamaanIn actuarial and insurance literatures, several researchers suggested generalized linear regression models (GLM) for modeling claim costs as a function of risk factors. The modeling of claim costs involving both zero and positive claims experience has been carried out by fitting the claim costs collectively using Tweedie model. However, the probability of zero claims in Tweedie model is not allowed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2013 · 7,263 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Appraisal-Management by Objective and Assessment CentreKai-Ping Huang, Chien-Jung Huang, Kuo-Hsiung Chen, Jui-Mei YienProblem statement: Two methods for performance appraisal that are discussed in this study and they are Management By Objective (MBO) and Assessment Centre techniques. Employees are appraised for several reasons, the most important of which is to realize the best use of human resources and to plan for future needs; reward and punishment are secondary. Assessment Centre evaluation or appraisal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 8,697 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Geo-Information Technology in the Study of Soil and Nutrients Loss by Water Erosion for three Different Land CoverMushtak T. Jabbar, C. A.I. Chong-Fa, Wang Tian-Wei, Shi Zhi-HuaThis research integrated the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and the soil statistical analysis with RS and GIS techniques to quantify soil and nutrient loss risk. The Letianxi watershed, located in the southwest part of Hubei Province of China was taken as a case. A system was established for rating soil erodibility, slope length/gradient, rainfall erosivity and conservation practices. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,790 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Degradation Risk Prediction Integrating RUSLE with Geo-information Techniques, the Case of Northern Shaanxi Province in ChinaMushtak T. Jabbar, Xiaoling ChenThis research integrated the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) with RS, GIS and GPS techniques to quantify soil erosion risk and the northern part of Shaanxi province in China was taken as a case. A system was established for rating soil erodibility, slope length/gradient, rainfall erosivity and conservation practices. The rating values served as inputs into a modified Revised … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,050 accessesView PDF Cite
