in order to estimate the effects of the macrc~econornic indicators on the income distribution of iran, the time series data during the period of 1971-1991 were used. first the yammetric inequality indicators (the gini coefficients) were estimated for the years 1991-1972. the results show the lowest level of inequality in 1980 with g=0.42 and the highest level in 1982 with g=0.55. arzulysing the...

equitable distribution of income and economic growth are challenges for policy-makers. therefore, it is important to investigate the influencing factors of it. given that financial development is an important factor affecting on income inequality, in this study, the effect of financial development on the gini coefficient as income inequality index is examined with using panel data methods durin...

This paper proves that the optimal exercise time for the holder of an American option depends upon the physical drift of the underlying asset and the utility of the option holder. We illustrate our results by applying them to several families of utility functions, namely the CARA, the HARA, and the expected return. While the option holder maximises his utility, the issuer gains from the di eren...

when shareholders have agreement about divestiture of company’s share in stock exchange, they decide to change and improve their business ownership structure and the presence of a large shareholder to help divestiture. the present study was aimed to investigate the effect of presence of large shareholder to tends firm to divestiture by a new approach. for this purpose, the propensity score a sa...

The reset right embedded in a derivative refers to the feature that the holder can alter certain terms in the derivative contract according to some preset rules. In this paper, we consider options that allow the holder to reset the strike price with preset number of times at any moment during the life of the option. The determination of the optimal reset policies adopted by the holder leads to ...

Abstract   Fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) are new type of composite materials which could improve defects of traditional composites in ductility, formability, impact and damage tolerance. Drawing behavior of a thermoplastic based FML was investigated consisting of glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene composite laminate and aluminum AA1200-O as the core and skin layers, respectively. The effects o...

A specially designed specimen holder employing a beryllium dome has been fabricated for collection of XRD data from highly reactive materials. The specimen holder has a robust o-ring type seal (>10 torr) and no observed intensity artifacts in the 1° to 150° 2θ range. The design also minimizes specimen displacement errors and allows for analysis of both powders and bulk specimens (i.e., pellets)...

In this manuscript, a new class of extended (m1,m2)-convex and concave functions is introduced. After some properties of (m1,m2)-convex functions have been given, the inequalities obtained with Hölder and Hölder-İşcan and power-mean and improwed power-mean integral inequalities have been compared and it has been shown that the inequality with Hölder-İşcan inequality gives a better approach than...

background exploring changes in health inequality and its determinants over time is of policy interest. accordingly, this study aimed to decompose inequality in neonatal mortality into its contributing factors and then explore changes from 1995-2000 to 2005-2010 in iran.   methods required data were drawn from two iran’s demographic and health survey (dhs) conducted in 2000 and 2010. normalized...
