Abstract The present study attempted to experimentally analyze the effect of fiscal illusion in the form of Flypaper effect on spending demand levels of provincial governments in Iran. To this aim, theoretical foundations and literature review were presented, and then the model used for investigation was specified. Finally, using time series data for provinces of Iran during 2000-2013 estimat...

in this paper, we propose a new residual analysis method using fourier series transform into fuzzy time series model for improving the forecasting performance. this hybrid model takes advantage of the high predictable power of fuzzy time series model and fourier series transform to fit the estimated residuals into frequency spectra, select the low-frequency terms, filter out high-frequency term...

The Series of Economic Policy Papers of the Central Bank of Chile presents views and analyses of the Chilean economy and the conduct of monetary policy prepared by Bank authorities. This series, aimed at the general public, disseminates and discusses topics that are relevant to the goals and operations of the Central Bank. The views expressed in this document are those of the staff team and are...

A generalized central trinomial coefficient Tn(b, c) is the coefficient of x in the expansion of (x+bx+c) with b, c ∈ Z. In this paper we investigate congruences and series for sums of terms related to central binomial coefficients and generalized central trinomial coefficients. The paper contains many conjectures on congruences related to representations of primes by certain binary quadratic f...

Knowledge about low flow statistics is essential for effective water resource planning and management in ungauged orpoorly gauged catchment areas, especially in arid and semi-arid regions such as Iran. We employed a data set of 20 riverflow time-series from the Iranian Central Plateau River Basin, Iran to evaluate the low-flow series using several frequencyanalysis methods and compared the resu...
