“…More recently in discrete-time EHA, GAMs have been formally applied in contexts such as unemployment duration (Berger and Schmid 2018), organisation survival (Rousselière 2019), and seat reservation (Shao, Kauermann, and Smith 2020). Only smooth main effects are considered; however, Bender, Groll, and Scheipl (2018) allow for interactions between duration and another continuous variable, where each can contribute smoothly or linearly.…”

BACKGROUNDDiscrete-time event history analysis (EHA) is the standard approach taken when modelling fertility histories collected in surveys, where the date of birth is often recorded imprecisely. This method is commonly used to investigate the factors associated with the time to a first or subsequent conception or birth. Although there is an emerging trend towards the smooth incorporation of continuous covariates in the broader literature, this is yet to be formally embraced in the context of birth events. OBJECTIVEWe investigate the formal application of smooth methods implemented via generalized additive models (GAMs) to the analysis of fertility histories. We also determine whether and where GAMs offer a practical improvement over existing approaches. METHODSWe fit parity-specific logistic GAMs to data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study, learning about the effects of age, period, time since last birth, educational qualification, and country of birth. First, we select the most parsimonious GAMs that fit the data sufficiently well. Then we compare them with corresponding models that use the existing methods of categorical, polynomial, and piecewise linear spline representations in terms of fit, complexity, and substantive insights gained.

“…The game theory is adopted to analyse competition between Arik Air and Aero Contractors. One frequently cited example of descriptive use of game theory is the prisoner's dilemma game [3,[6][7][8][9][10]. The prisoner's dilemma game is one of the classic examples of noncooperative game in static form.…”

“…According to available analysis, the Nigerian airline industry is still far from hitting the peak of competition milestone as may be expected, despite the remarkable transition experienced [2]. One major challenge often cited has been the inability to reconcile the existing pricing strategies and customer protection [3]. This remains a huge concern and demands regulatory response/intervention to avoid over exploitation of passengers while reassuring that prices are to some degree beneficial to the services.…”

Background: This paper develops a game theoretic model that analyses the dynamics of competition among the leading domestic aviation firms in the Nigerian aviation industry. It probes the abilities of the prisoner dilemma to describe the subjective behaviour of the firms, which provide a yardstick for assessing the optimal competitive strategies available to the firm to survive the business environment. Results:The solution of the game provides different optimal competitive strategies for the firms. While findings show that Aero Contractors placed more weight on flight pricing to survive in the industry, Arik Air needed to retain nonpricing competitive strategy to remain the leading domestic aviation firm in Nigeria. Conclusion:Based on our findings, we conclude that if both firms stick to the optimal strategy, they would both share the market.

“…This practice is generally used by large agricultural cooperatives, but these contracts have clearly been widely adopted by the cooperative movement. Based on the premise that members' commitment is the primary factor in a cooperative's survival and success (Rousselière, 2019), the performance cannot be separated from member involvement levels. Incentive payments in cooperatives may have heterogeneous effects on performance because of their effects, on the one hand, on the quality of the products sold on the market and on the other hand on its members' commitment.…”

Do quality incentive payments improve cooperative performance? The case of small French agricultural cooperatives

Small agricultural cooperatives are increasingly using differentiated payments based on the quality of their members’ products. Such cooperatives make a trade‐off between the return on investment in quality and members’ disengagement from the cooperative. Based on data from the five‐year survey of small French agricultural cooperatives, we analyse the effect of incentive payments on small cooperatives’ performances. We investigate how incentive payments can reduce the problem of free riders and improve these cooperatives’ reputation. Using a quantile regression method, while controlling for the potential endogeneity of incentive payments, we show that quality‐based compensation can rule out cooperative members’ defrauding options. This remuneration has a non‐linear positive effect on small cooperatives’ performances. The results suggest that incentive payments improve small cooperatives’ performances.
