This paper considers the effect of exchange rate (ER) level on China’s domestic prices during the period of 2003–2012. We examine China’s consumer price index (CPI), import price index (IPI) and producer price index (PPI) by using time series vector error correction analysis. The main finding of the paper is that ER passthrough has had a limited but growing effect on domestic prices and will co...

Introduction Historically, India is the largest producer, consumer and importer of pulses. Although it is the world’s largest pulses producer, there is still a huge shortage of pulses and also, the prices are not affordable to a large section of consumers. An immediate need is the development and dissemination of low-cost technologies in pulses production, so that they can be affordable to the ...

This paper empirically evaluates the effect of consumer switching costs on market power of cable television providers. To do so I propose an algorithm to estimate supply side parameters when the demand side is represented by consumers with persistent heterogeneity in tastes and state-dependent utility. Under such conditions, regardless of whether consumers are forward-looking or behave in a myo...

Background: In order to help reduce rear-end collisions, a forward vehicle collision warning system has been developed and deployed. The effectiveness of the system largely depends on how early the warning can be given. However, we also need to consider that too early warning may cause a nuisance because the driver may not feel any avoidance maneuver is necessary at the timing. If the system ca...

Abstract: The movement pattern of mobile producer plays an important role in mobility performance analysis the wireless and network. However, behavior is directly affecting handoff latency signaling overhead cost. Many researchers provide analytical investigation to analyze solve problems compared with simulation result. To justify between investigation, node needs be included make it possible ...
