On the definition of the small index property

Abstract: For countable infinite structures, two definitions of the small index property are known. One of them contains the words “at most ω,” while the other reads “less than 2ω.” In the present article, we explain in what sense there is no big difference between the two definitions and suggest a generalization to arbitrary infinite structures.

C -minimality and model companions

Abstract: We study the question on existence of a model companion of the theory of a C-minimal structure with a distinguished automorphism of a special form.

Examining the Mediating Role of Strategic Integration of Purchasing, And Advance Purchasing Practices in the Relationship between Purchasing Operational Performance and IT Investment in Purchasing

Abstract: The main purpose of the current study is to investigate the mediating role of strategic integration of purchasing, and advance purchasing practices in the relationship between purchasing operational performance and IT investment in purchasing. In this research, some other practices have been considered including involvement of suppliers, evaluation and assessment of suppliers and integration of logistics. Strategic integration of purchasing is referred as the degree to which the strategic relevance of purchasing function is recognized by a company. This has been regarded as an important antecedent of supply management practices and advanced purchasing. In the relation of performance, supply and purchasing practices and IT investments, one of the important factors is strategic integration of purchasing. The study has used survey-based method and data is collected by the aid of questionnaire. The collected data is analyzed with the SEM-PLS. The findings of the study have shown agreement with the proposed results. In author knowledge it is among the pioneering studies on the issues related to strategic integration of purchasing, advance purchasing practices, purchasing operational performance and IT investment in purchasing. This study will provide guidelines to policymakers, researchers and corporate personnel in understanding the relationship between strategic integration of purchasing, advance purchasing practices, purchasing operational performance and IT investment in purchasing.

Exchange rate pass-through into import prices: evidence from central asia

Abstract: This paper estimates the degree of exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) into import prices for Central Asia countries over period 1995q11-2012q11 years. The additional study was done for Kazakhstan to determine the impact of money regulating policy into short-run and long-run ERPT. The study of ERPT was done by employing cointegration analysis across five central Asia countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The paper analyzes three opportunities of the transmission of the export cost into ERPT using production price indices (PPI) of three major trading partners of Central Asia countries: PPI of Russia, PPI of Turkey and PPI of China. In case with PPI of Russia the results showed, that ERPT is extended beyond of 1 for Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Incomplete ERPT is indicated for Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, and zero ERPT is indicated for Uzbekistan. In case with PPI of Turkey, the elasticities of extent ERPT into import prices are more higher then in case with PPI of Russia, and elasticities for all Central Asia countries are negative and significant. In case with PPI of China, incomplete ERPT is indicated for all Central Asia countries, except the Kyrgyzstan, which has extended ERPT. In all cases this study showed the significance of ERPT, except only two cases for Kazakhstan and Tajikistan with PPI of China. Also interesting, those elasticities of ERPT with PPI of China are lower comparing with other cases. In the special study of money regulation policy only for Kazakhstan the short-run and long-run elasticities of ERPT are incomplete with PPI of Russia and PPI of Turkey, and they are extended with PPI of China.
