We estimate the impacts of various types of government payments to U.S. agriculture on different components of farm household consumption. Using 2003 to 2005 data from the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS), we show that marginal rates of consumption differ by consumption category and income source, including different types of farm program payments. The results suggest that farm ho...

when the orbital altitude of a small satellite is near-earth, passive stabilization can be considered. the purpose of this paper is to combine the passive gravity gradient and aerodynamic stabilization methods together so that all the three axes stabilizations can be obtained. in this regard, the set of nonlinear equations of motion will be solved numerically with specified initial condition. t...

The old idea of segmented macroeconomics of the financial sector competing with the real economy is replaced by a new model, which manifests strong interaction, integration and co-evolution by circular causation relations between the monetary sector and the real economy with the bridging function of finance and financial instruments. The Money, Finance, Spending and Real Economy (MFSRE) model e...

Both monetary and fiscal instruments have been continuously and rather systematically used in Swedish stabilization policy during the entire postwar period. The policy has relied mainly on rather conventional "Keynesian" tools of fiscal and monetary policy: variations in public spending and taxation, interest rate variations, and attempts to influence the supply of credit and money. It may be o...

economic stabilization is one of the main government objectives in the economy. one of the most destructive and devastating factors that could damage financial markets, are price bubble formations. thus, bubble creation in stock markets can be considered as a result of investor behaviors, because the market prices mainly reflect investor expectations from firm’s future perspectives. the aim of ...

The effects of urea and several methylamine solutes on the catalytic stability and aggregation properties of rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase were assessed at physiologically realistic concentrations of the solutes under several pH and temperature regimes. The loss of catalytic activity observed under conditions of pH-induced cold lability was significantly reduced in the presence of trimethyl...

Despite the political sensitivity of foreign capital, existing work on the effect of foreign capital at the firm level is slim. This paper examines the effect of foreign equity ownership and management on firm performance using a panel of Korean firms for the period of 1993-2007 when foreign capital inflows increased dramatically. Empirical results show that foreign equity ownership positively ...

• The role played by the state as a land market regulator in urban areas with natural vulnerability to flooding; as a producer of urban land and housing; and as a builder of defenses against flooding. • Impacts on the land market of flooding and built defenses as well as access to urban land for different population sectors; land value increases and decreases in urban areas according to floodin...
