A dynamic decision model for portfolio investment and assets management     

QIAN Edward Y.  FENG Ying  HIGGISION James 《浙江大学学报(A卷英文版)》2005,6(Z1)

This paper addresses a dynamic portfolio investment problem. It discusses how we can dynamically choose candidate assets, achieve the possible maximum revenue and reduce the risk to the minimum level. The paper generalizes Markowitz's portfolio selection theory and Sharpe's rule for investment decision. An analytical solution is presented to show how an institutional or individual investor can combine Markowitz's portfolio selection theory, generalized Sharpe's rule and Value-at-Risk(VaR) to find candidate assets and optimal level of position sizes for investment (dis-investment). The result shows that the generalized Markowitz's portfolio selection theory and generalized Sharpe's rule improve decision making for investment.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Studies have found that Faculty–Student Interaction (FSI) has many positive benefits for students including academic support, professional development, mentoring, and career planning. Research-intensive universities exhibit the lowest levels of faculty–student interaction within higher education. This article utilises qualitative methods to explore faculty, student, and staff perceptions of faculty–student interactions, particularly those that take place out of the classroom, at a research-intensive public U.S. university. We identify social distance between faculty and students based on unequal status within a rigid, hierarchically-organised culture as a key barrier to FSI. We then discuss methods that some of the faculty in our study used to mitigate their social distance with students in an effort to increase FSI.  相似文献   

A comparison of the dimensions used by Iranian and American students in rating instruction   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

David W. Chapman  Edward F. Kelly 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》1981,27(1):41-60

This study investigated the dimensions of teacher behavior and classroom characteristics used by Iranian high school students (N=880) in evaluating their classroom experience. Secondly, it compared these dimensions to those used by American high school students (N=599). During January, 1978, both groups of students completed the Classroom Behavior Survey (CBS). Principal components analysis with varimax rotation yielded a 12 factor solution for Iranian data and 14 for the American data. Comparison of the factors suggest that the dimensions on which Iranian and American students evaluate their teachers are substantially different, though the dimensions they use to evaluate characteristics of the course and content are similar.

Zusammenfassung Diese Studie untersucht die Dimensionen von Lehrerverhalten und Unterrichtsweisen, die iranische Studenten zur Evaluation ihrer Klassenerfahrungen angewandt haben. Ferner vergleicht sie diese Dimensionen mit den von amerikanischen Sekundarschülern benutzten. Beide Schülergruppen beendeten ihre Untersuchungen über Unterrichtsverhalten im Januar 1978. Eine Analyse der Hauptkomponenten, mit Varimax Rotation, ergab eine 12-Faktorenlösung für die iranischen Daten gegenüber 14 Faktoren für die amerikanischen. Ein Vergleich dieser Faktoren deutet darauf hin, daß die Dimensionen, aufgrund derer die iranischen und amerikanischen Schüler ihre Lehrer bewerten, stark voneinander abweichen, während sich die für die Beurteilung der Kurse und Inhalte gebrauchten gleichen.

Résumé Cette étude porte sur les cotes du comportement de l'enseignant et des caractéristiques de la classe utilisées par les élèves iraniens de l'enseignement secondaire. (N=880) dans leur évaluation de leur expérience scolaire. Elle compare ensuite ces cotes à celles utilisées par les élèves américains du secondaire. Les deux groupes d'élèves ont terminé leur enquête sur le comportement de la classe (CBS ECC) en janvier 1978. L'analyse des principales composantes avec rotation varimax a donné une solution à 12 facteurs pour les données iraniennes et à 14 facteurs pour les données américaines. La comparaison des facteurs suggère que les cotes selon lesquelles les élèves iraniens et américains évaluent leurs enseignants sont notablement différentes, bien que celles qu'ils utilisent pour évaluer les caractéristiques du cours et de son contenu soient similaires.

Theory of mind in dogs?: examining method and concept     

Horowitz A 《Learning & behavior》2011,39(4):314-317

In line with other research, Udell, Dorey, and Wynne’s (in press) finding that dogs and wolves pass on some trials of a putative theory-of-mind test and fail on others is as informative about the methods and concepts of the research as about the subjects. This commentary expands on these points. The intertrial differences in the target article demonstrate how critical the choice of cues is in experimental design; the intersubject-group differences demonstrate how life histories can interact with experimental design. Even the best-designed theory-of-mind tests have intractable logical problems. Finally, these and previous research results call for the introduction of an intermediate stage of ability, a rudimentary theory of mind, to describe subjects’ performance.  相似文献

The nexus between college choice and persistence   总被引：2，自引：3，他引：2  

Edward P. St. John  Michael B. Paulsen  Johnny B. Starkey 《Research in higher education》1996,37(2):175-220

Initial student commitments have long been considered an influence on persistence, but the reasons why students choose to attend a college have seldom been considered as dimensions of initial commitments that could influence persistence processes and outcomes. This study used NPSAS-87 to examine the influence of finance-related reasons for choosing a college on persistence decisions. The findings include (1) finance-related choices have direct and indirect influences on whether students persist in college; and (2) market-based, monetary measures of financial aid, tuition costs, housing costs, and other living costs have a substantial direct effect on persistence.  相似文献   

Initial returns on mail questionnaires: A literature review and research note   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1  

Joseph L. Horowitz  William E. Sedlacek 《Research in higher education》1974,2(4):361-367

The effects of method of reproduction, status of researcher, and personalization of signature on the initial rate of return of mail questionnaires were investigated, using a one-page combination cover letter and questionnaire mailed to 600 professors at the University of Maryland, College Park. The levels of each experimental variable were: Status — professor, graduate student; signature — hand signed in ink, mimeographed facsimile; reproduction — typed, photocopied, mimeographed.A response rate of 69% was obtained without using any follow-up procedures. Chi square analyses indicated no significant differences in the rate of returns for the levels of any of the experimental variables.It appears that initial return rate will not be significantly affected by using the most efficient, least expensive method available.  相似文献
