“…Anderson and Ge (2009) investigate the intercity per capita income distribution in China in the 1990s using a stochastic dominance analysis and find significant convergence trends. Recently, Rey et al (2019) applied stochastic dominance analysis taking into consideration the role of geography and space, while Jmaii and Belhadj (2017) propose a fuzzy version of a dynamic stochastic approach to analyze cross-region inequalities.…”

This study examines the evolution of the regional per capita income from the perspective of a policymaker at the national level. To do that, it utilizes stochastic dominance analysis by including a utility function that expresses the “regional inequalities aversion” level of the policymaker. In this way, the analysis indicates how the policymakers rank income distributions according to their primary policy objectives and more specifically, GDP growth and diminishing of income inequalities. Data refer to the per capita GDPs of the Greek prefectures during the period 2000–2017, in real terms. The estimation of certainty equivalents provides a numeric index of preference among regional income distributions according to the policy objectives mix. Results indicate that the period 2000–2017 is characterized by different patterns of regional income evolutions. Overall, there is no regional convergence from year 2000 to 2017, while the evolution of regional income does not follow a constant path. The analysis provides thoughtful insights into the way that different policy targets and preferences can affect the relevant ranking of income distributions. In a certain level of policymakers’ “regional inequalities aversion”, a balance between economic growth and diminishing of regional inequalities targets is assumed. Apart from a useful tool in economic research, this quantification approach can also be utilized in policy design for setting more appropriate policy targets, based on the preferences of policymakers at the national level.

The study aims to investigate the effectiveness and ineffectiveness of different statistical analysis tools in project management environments. Furthermore, this study focuses on identifying some factors that affect project management by highlighting some commonly used statistical analysis tools and by evaluating ineffective analysis tools. Quantitative data was collected through participant observation, as well as a review of the relevant materials to meet these objectives. Some of the dependent variables that were tested in the study include the project manager's skills, the organization's financial status, and the affordability of the analysis tools. The independent variable is the effectiveness and ineffectiveness of the statistical analysis tools. After collecting and analyzing the data, the study finds that a tool's effectiveness or ineffectiveness depends on the dependent variables, i.e., the project managers' skills, the organization's financial status, etc.
