Fiscal Decentralization and Regional Financial Efficiency: An Empirical Analysis of Spatial Durbin Model by Jianmin Liu, Xiaomei Hu, Hongli Tang

“…Based on panel data covering the period from 2003 to 2012 in China’s 281 prefecture-level cities, we use superefficiency SBM model to measure regional financial efficiency and empirically test the spatial effects of fiscal decentralization on regional financial efficiency with SDM. The estimated results indicate that there exist significant spatial spillover effects among regional financial efficiency with the features of time inertia and spatial dependence. …”

Beta-Bazilevič Function by Sa'adatul Fitri, Mohamad Muslikh

“…Using Lemmas of function with positive real part, we were given a sharp estimate of coefficient problems. The coefficient problems to be solved are the modulus of initial coefficients $f$, the modulus of inverse coefficients $f^{-1}$, the modulus of the Logarithmic coefficients $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}$, the Fekete-Szeg\"{o} problem and the second Hankel determinant problem.…”
