Strong Competition

In this paper keenly-competing Japanese twin cities are examined and the competitive oscillations occurring between them is analyzed as a typical example of medium-term competitive processes. From an analysis of market shares for annual retail sales of women's and children's clothes it was found that there are certain oscillations between the twin cities. As these oscillations are derived from the strong competition between closely-located twin cities, they are called competitive oscillations. In order to analyze the generation of the competitive oscillations, an attempt to reproduce a strongly competitive condition by constructing a dynamic model of two-centre competition was made. As the twin cities share a large part of their populations, they are under strong competitive conditions in which major retail development at one city produces an absolute loss to the other city. Therefore, the twin cities seesaw through the introduction of innovations such as large shops in order to gain a more advantageous competitive position, resulting in competitive oscillations between them. This finding implies that the introduction of innovation to centres is a competitive device in the medium-term and is consistent with the view that the diffusion of innovation is closely related to the competitive process.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different goal structures on the attributional patterns of individuals involved in a sport situation. One hundred and fifty-eight male subjects played in one of two types of racquetball tournament. In the competitive tournament, the goal was to win as many games as possible, whereas in the mastery tournament the goal was to do one's best. Analyses revealed that individuals in the competitive condition tended to focus more on ability attributions than did individuals in the mastery condition. The implications of these findings for the sport practitioner are discussed.

Abstract Every business can benefit from reduction of its losses due to corrosion. Awareness of all possible sources of such losses is essential. Unnecessary acceptance of losses is common from chronic corrosion which is tolerated as established custom, and from hidden or indirect effects of corrosion. The importance of corrosion damage is not always proportional to the volume of metal affected. The functional aspects of corrosion are listed. Analysis is made of the ways in which corrosion enters into the cost of doing business. Explanations are given of the direct and indirect ways corrosion may effect capital investment, operating costs, product sales, maintenance costs, overhead costs and market competitive condition of and company.

The aim of this study was to document training strategies used by experienced trainers of the Icelandic pace racing horse. Data were obtained using a questionnaire, to which responses were received from nine trainers on the world ranking list in 250 m pace races and with a minimum of 12 years of experience of pace training. Training was commenced at an age of 5.4±1.0 years and the average time to achieve competitive condition was estimated to be 1.9±0.8 years. Horses were trained almost every day and the trainers described a variety of training methods. Interval training appeared to be common, while training at pace was performed less than twice per week. Mental aspects seemed to be a challenge for performance.

Recent psychiatric literature suggests that short stature in childhood may be associated with poor social judgment and a lack of adaptive competitiveness. In the present study these personal characteristics were evaluated for short children using the Picture Arrangement subtest from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R). The test was administered either under experimental-competitive or standard conditions to 31 short male children and to 29 age-matched boys of normal stature. Significant differences in mean scaled scores were found between the short and normal groups. Increased scores under the competitive condition were observed for both groups. In contrast to previous reports, these results suggest that short children respond positively to competitive tasks. The findings are discussed in terms of emphasizing coping mechanisms of short children.

A non-competition guarantee has been widely used for financing the toll road project. However, to our best knowledge, there seems to be no research about the value and incentive effect of the non-competition guarantee. In the competitive and non-competitive condition respectively, this paper constructs the models of investment value and investment threshold by adopting the option game theory and measurement approach. The results of theory derivation indicate that the non-competition guarantee plays a strong role in investment incentives by reducing investment threshold. The simulation results indicate that the non-guaranteed value increases as the expected growth rate of traffic flow increases, and decreases as volatility increases. Santrauka Nekonkurencingumas plačiai naudojamas mokamųjų automagistralių projektams finansuoti. Tačiau žinoma, kad nėra pakankamai atlikta tyrimų bekonkurencinių verčių srityje. Atsižvelgiant į konkurencingumo ir nekonkurencingumo sąlygas bei remiantis galimybių teorija ir patobulintų skaičiavimų teorija (measurement approach), straipsnyje sudaryti investuojamos vertės ir investicinės ribos modeliai. Teorijų taikymo rezultatai rodo, kad konkurencijos bekonkurencinės vertės yra svarbios skatinant investicijas ir taip mažinant investicijų ribas. Modeliavimo rezultatai rodo, kad bekonkurencinės vertės didėja kartu su eismo srauto tempais, o mažėja – didėjant nepastovumui. Резюме Понятие неконкурентоспособности широко используется при финансировании проектов платных автомагистралей. Известно, что еще не достаточно исследованы проблемы в области инвестиционной ценности, обеспечивающей неконкурентность. В статье представлены модели инвестируемой стоимости и уровня инвестиций с учетом условий конкурентоспособности и неконкурентоспособности, а также на основе теории возможностей и метода измерений (measurement approach). Результаты применения теории показали, что инвестиционная ценность, обеспечивающая неконкурентность, важна для привлечения инвестиций с уменьшением их уровня. Результаты моделирования показали, что инвестиционная ценность, обеспечивающая неконкурентность, увеличивается с увеличением транспортного потока и уменьшается с увеличением непостоянства.

Computational simulations have provided evidence that the use of linguistic cues as group markers plays an important role in the development of linguistic diversity shortcite (Nettle & Dunbar, 1997; Nettle, 1999). Other simulations, however, have contradicted these findings (Livingstone & Fyfe, 1999; Livingstone, 2002). Similar disagreements exist in sociolinguistics (e.g. Labov, 1963, 2001; Trudgill, 2004, 2008a; Baxter et al., 2009). This paper describes an experimental study in which participants played an anonymous economic game using an instant-messenger-style program and an artificial ‘alien language’. The competitiveness of the game and the frequency with which players interacted were manipulated. Given frequent enough interaction with team-mates, players were able to use linguistic cues to identify themselves. In the most competitive condition, this led to divergence in the language, which did not occur in other conditions. This suggests that both frequency of interaction and a pressure to use language to mark identity play a significant role in encouraging linguistic divergence over short periods, but that neither is suffi cient on its own.

Over Time

The financial economics literature contains numerous research papers which examine issues that concern the banking industry. One of these issues is banking competition. Indeed, this issue is important because of its complications to financial stability and the growth of the borrowing firms. The purpose of this paper is to assess the competitive behavior of the Jordanian banking sector during the period ranging from 1999 to 2008 using the non-structural test developed by Panzar and Rosse. In more specific terms, this paper examines the overall competitive condition during the period 1999 – 2008 and how it has evolved over time. Based on the empirical findings, it is expected that a number of policy recommendations may be provided. The objective of these recommendations is to enhance the regulation of the banking sector in Jordan and improve their performance.
