The Generalized Adequacy Coefficient and its Application in Strategic Decision Making

J.M. Merigó, A.M. Gil Lafuente. University of Barcelona

The adequacy coefficient is a very useful technique that provides a more complete formulation than the Hamming distance in decision making problems. In this paper, we suggest a generalization by using generalized and quasi-arithmetic means. As a result, we will get the generalized ordered weighted averaging adequacy coefficient (GOWAAC) and…

Aggregation Functions With Non-Monotonic Measures

Marta Cardin, Silvio Giove. University of Venice

In this paper non-monotonic measures and their properties are considered and described. Subsequently we study discrete non-monotonic Choquet integral under the viewpoint of aggregation, and its axiomatic characterization. Moreover, we show that for non-monotonic measures the Shapley index can fail to represent the relative importance of a criterion, thus we…

Raphaël Franck. Bar Ilan University

This paper uses a competitive neural network model to examine whether the separation of monetary policy and banking supervision has an impact on inflation. Our results show that countries with similar organizations of banking supervision and monetary policy indeed have similar levels of inflation. In addition we find that both…

The evaluation of the impact of the technology transfers from public laboratories to private firms: the case of the French Nuclear Authority (CEA)

Vincent Vigneron. Université Paris 1, Université d'Evry

Patrick Letremy. Université Paris 1

Serge Petit. Infineon Technologies AG

Research laboratories are increasingly coming under pressure to evaluate the economic impact of their research. After the multiplication of technology discrimination devices bound to foster the innovative efforts in firms, public policy makers are seeking to evaluate the impact of these means on the economy. Existing evaluation indicators are poorly…

An empirical assessment of the Optimum Currency Areas Theory: Turkey and the EMU Countries

I. Ozer, I. Ozkan. Hacettepe University

This study aims to analyze Turkey and the EMU countries in the light of criteria suggested by the optimum currency areas (OCA) theory and the Maastricht criteria. To this end, we follow a novel approach with an application of fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering. The results show that the application of…
