An Econometric Analysis of Homeownership Determinants in Belgium KU Leuven
In market economies, homeownership is associated with positive externalities. Increasing the levels of homeownership has been an objective of governments for the last decades. The analysis of the determinants of tenure status provides information to this end. This paper proposes an econometric analysis of housing tenure in Belgium. We review the main variables that have been considered in the literature as influencing housing tenure, after what ...
Normative, positive and econometric mathematical programming as tools for incorporation of multifunctionality in agricultural policy modelling Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
Enlarging the scope of agricultural policy analysis, with contemporary issues such as multifunctional farming, means that conventional models should be adjusted. Starting from the intrinsic nature of multifunctionality, we show that the link between farm and policies is becoming increasingly important in the general framework of model-based policy impact analysis. This argues for the use of farm-level programming models. The paper presents three ...

Innovation, competition and firm performance: An econometric analysis on the Dutch pharmaceutical sector Universiteit Hasselt
This study mainly deals with the contemporaneous relation between innovation, competition and firm performance, conditioned by various firm-level determinants, for the Dutch pharmaceutical industry. Our analysis encompasses R&D investment and patents as the essential indicators of innovation; and investigates on their plausible linkage with competition, firm size, firm age, capital intensity and other variables, that eventually affect the ...
An econometric property of the g-index Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Antwerpen
Let X=(x(1), ... ,x(N)) and Y=(y(1), ... ,y(N)) be two decreasing vectors with positive coordinates Sigma(N)(j=1)x(j) = Sigma(N)(j=1)y(j) (representing e.g. citation data of articles of two authors or journals with the same number of publications and the same number of citations (in total)). It is remarked that if the Lorenz curve L(X) of X is above the Lorenz curve L(Y) of Y, then the g-index g(X) of X is larger than or equal to the g-index ...
