Free Download General Cost Structure Analysis: Theory and Application to the Banking Industry By Ziad Sarkis (auth.)
1999 | 119 Pages | ISBN: 1461370787 | PDF | 3 MB
The subject of General Cost Structure Analysis is the quantitative analysis of cost structures with a minimum of a priori assumptions on firm technology and on firm behaviour. The study develops an innovative line of attack building on the primal characterisation of the firm's generalised shadow cost minimisation program. The resulting Flexible Cost Model (FCM) is highly conducive to modern panel data techniques and allows for a flexible specification not only of firm technology but also of firm behaviour, as shadow prices can be made input-, time- and firm-specific. FCM is applied to a panel dataset on several hundred of the largest banking institutions in the G-5 (France, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, United States) in the 1989-1996 period. The main empirical results are summarised. In particular, FCM provides new insights into the existence of scale economies in banking and an assessment of the extent of excess labour in the G-5 banking industries, particularly as a consequence of labour market rigidities in a context of rapidly declining technology prices. FCM also provides an evaluation of the sources of the cost advantage of American and British banks in comparison to Continental European banks.

Free Download Functional Analysis Revisited: An Essay on Completeness
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1009430912 | 259 Pages | PDF | 3 MB
'Functional Analysis Revisited' is not a first course in functional analysis - although it covers the basic notions of functional analysis, it assumes the reader is somewhat acquainted with them. It is by no means a second course either: there are too many deep subjects that are not within scope here. Instead, having the basics under his belt, the author takes the time to carefully think through their fundamental consequences. In particular, the focus is on the notion of completeness and its implications, yet without venturing too far from areas where the description 'elementary' is still valid. The author also looks at some applications, perhaps just outside the core of functional analysis, that are not completely trivial. The aim is to show how functional analysis influences and is influenced by other branches of contemporary mathematics. This is what we mean by 'Functional Analysis Revisited.'
