The Determinants of Crude Oil Prices: Evidence from Ardl and Nonlinear Ardl Approaches

Oil and food prices in Malaysia: a nonlinear ARDL analysis

The present paper analyses the relations between food and oil prices for Malaysia using a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lags (NARDL) model. The bounds test of the NARDL specification suggests the presence of cointegration among the variables, which include the food price, oil price and real GDP. The estimated NARDL model affirms the presence of asymmetries in the food price behavior. Nam...

The Effects of Oil Price Movement on Nigerian Macroeconomic Variables: Evidence from Linear near and Nonlinear ARDL Modelling

T he study seeks to investigate both linear and nonlinear effects of oil price movement on critical macroeconomic variables (output, price and exchange rate) in Nigeria using ARDL modeling approach. Previous studies substantially relied on linear methods using VAR approach to unravel this links without a clear conclusion. In an attempt to seek better results in this study, we employ both l...

Higher Education, Real Income And Real Investment In The Selected OIC Members: Evidence From ARDL And Panel Data Approaches

Determinants of Malaysian Trade Balance: an Ardl Bound Testing Approach

This paper examines the short and long run relationships between trade balance, real exchange rates, income and money supply in the case of Malaysia. The inclusion of income and money variables in the study is purposely to examine the monetary and absorption approaches to the balance of payments beside the conventional approach of elasticity, using exchange rates. Using the bound testing approa...

Whole - ArDl Manipulation : Kinematics and Control

This thesis explores the kinematics and control issues associated with an approach to manipulation that employs all of the available surfaces of a robot to interact with the workspace. This thesis explores manipulations of this type which we term whole-arm manipulation (Wi\.LVI). A classification of WAM tasks into pushing, searching, enclosure, and exclusion is presented and examples of each ar...
