Structural modeling of the relationship between tax evasion and hidden economy with Panel MIMIC approach

In this paper, the concept of Income Satisfaction Inequality is operationalized on the basis of individual responses to an Income Satisfaction question posed in the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP). Income satisfaction is the subjective analogue of the objective income concept and includes objective income inequality as a special case. The paper introduces a method to decompose Income Satisf...

In this paper we use multilevel discrete-time recurrent hazard analysis to simultaneously model the impact of life cycle events and structural processes on poverty entry and exit across European Regions. Research questions are, (i) what is the importance of life cycle events on the road to entry into and exit from poverty, (ii) are there any differences in poverty dynamics between European Regi...

A review on the recent development in the non-linear flutter and thermal buckling of an FGM panel under the combined effect of elevated temperature conditions and aerodynamic loading is investigated using a finite element model based on the thin plate theory and von Karman straindisplacement relations to account for moderately large deflection. It is found that the temperature increase has an a...

The capability of embedded piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWAS) to perform in-situ ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is explored. Laboratory tests are used to prove that PWAS can satisfactorily perform Lamb wave transmission and reception. Subsequently, pulse-echo method for crack detection in an aircraft panel is illustrated. For large area scanning, a PWAS phased array is used t...

in this paper, we analyze the dynamics of income gap between 138 countries with usa by using time series model of convergence hypothesis and various panel unit root tests over period 1950-2008. all panel unit root tests don’t reject the null hypothesis of unit root. univariate unit root tests results show that gdp per capita of south korea, switzerland, austria, lesoto and hungry catch up with ...

The existing spatial panel structural vector auto-regressive model can effectively capture the time and dynamic dependence of endogenous variables. However, hypothesis that common factors have same effect for all units is unreasonable. Therefore, incorporating effects, time-individual this paper develops a more general autoregressive with interactive effects (ISpSVAR) reflect different on units...
