Market efficiency and its consequences on profit warnings in the Nairobi Stock Exchange
(Strathmore University, 2014-03-09)My project comes up with a very interesting implication on academia and in practice I studied the occurrence of a profit warning in the NSE. It is important not to look at events in isolation but rather a general assessment ... -
Mathematical model for HIV and CD4+ cells dynamics in vivo
Mathematical models are used to provide insights into the mechanisms and dynamics of the progression of viral infection in vivo. Untangling the dynamics between HIV and CD4+ cellular populations and molecular interactions ... -
Mathematical Modeling for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Transmission using Generating Function Approach
(Strathmore university, 2009)This study is concerned with the mathematical modeling for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission epidemics. The mathematical models are specified by stochastic differential equations that are solved by use of ... -
Mathematical modelling of In-vivo HIV optimal therapy and management
(Strathmore University, 2018)Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains the main cause of premature death globally. In 2013, Kenya was the fourth largest endemic HIV country in the world having over 1.6 million people living with the virus. The fact ... -
Mathematical modelling of the efficacy and toxicity of cancer chemotherapy
(Strathmore University, 2017)From available literature, there is strong evidence that the growth of tumours is to a great extent influenced by the cellular response of the immune system in addition to the therapy administered. While chemotherapy ... -
Mathematical models for hepatocytic-erythrocytic dynamics and therapeutic control of malaria
(Strathmore University, 2020)Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Mortality and morbidity due to malaria infection is a serious burden to malaria endemic countries. Despite the many years of ... -
Measuring and evaluating factors of dynamic term structure models for value-at-risk estimation in the Kenyan market
(Strathmore University, 2018)The growth of the Kenyan fixed income market and the growing need for investors to diversify the risk in the portfolios has driven the need to quantify the risk associated with the fixed income assets. The measures that ... -
Measuring financial stress - a country specific stress index for Kenya
(Strathmore University, 2015-11)The aftermath of the 2007-2008 global financial crisis shows how financial tum1oil can be transmitted from advanced to emerging and frontier markets. Most policy makers in emerging economies had little mechanisms to determine ... -
Measuring the effect of characteristics of loan obligors on default risk in a portfolio of individual loans using generalized linear models
(Strathmore University, 2016)A large part of bank profits is eamed from the interest charged on the different loans they advance to their customers; therefore proper management of credit risk is crucial for commercial banks. This paper studies the ... -
Measuring the impact of universal health care on longevity risk
(Strathmore University, 2021)Longevity remains to be a complex risk that is ever evolving and requ1res great understanding. Improved healthcare through the roll out of Universal Health Care is also seen to enhance this risk through improved mortality ... -
Microfinance institutions in Kenya: a mission drift or progression?
(Strathmore University, 2017)Microfinance serves low income earners by offering a variety of financial services. This study examines whether sustainability of the Microfinance institution leads to a mission drift or a progression. The study measures ... -
Mobile money and macroeconomic outcomes in East Africa
(Strathmore University, 2021)This study examined the outcomes of mobile money use on money supply, inflation and national output. Data was taken from East African countries that have adopted mobile money services, namely Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and ... -
A model for inflation dynamics in Kenya
(Strathmore University, 2015)This paper analyzes the dynamics of inflation in Kenya between 1997 and 2013. The study is done by developing an empirically constant Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The study finds out that exchange rates and money ...
