Business intelligence appraisal based on customer behaviour profile by using hobby based opinion mining in India: a case study
This research study contributes towards understanding the customer’s
behaviour dynamics. In business analysis, it is very important
not to ignore the fact that the interaction between human
beings implicitly includes an emotional dimension. The research
methodology includes the following: (1) customer purchase pattern
prediction methods based on correlation; (2) augmentation
of data set by using genetic algorithms; and (3) multiple regression
models. The analysis indicates how the hobby of a customer
is directly related to the purchase patterns and satisfaction level.
We applied business intelligence (BI) techniques and concluded
that, by using multiple regression method is possible to evaluate
the level of customer satisfaction up to the upper limit of security
of about 90%. BI tools could be used to employ significant
achievements in specific fields based on open innovations. This
paper aims at providing further practical guidance in this innovative
research field by using a mix of interdisciplinary methods
and techniques
Why do countries request assistance from International Monetary Fund? An empirical analysis
This paper investigates the determinants behind persistent and prolonged stays under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) program and its effectiveness, using panel data consisting of 70 countries that have requested IMF support multiple times, during the period 1980-2018. By employing panel survival analysis, we conclude that weak economic indicators, e.g., current account deficit, high debt service ratio, low GDP, are the main reasons that force a country to reach out to the IMF support program. We further extend our analysis to investigate the effectiveness of the IMF program by dividing our sample into two groups, based on income level. To overcome the issue of endogeneity, we implement the panel instrumental two-stage least squares (2SLS) fixed-effect model. In the light of our analysis, we find a contemporaneous positive impact of the IMF fund program on the economic growth of upper middle-income countries, while, for low-income countries, its contemporaneous impact is insignificant, but becomes visible over time
