This paper investigates the monetary interdependence and the money-income relationship between countries under a pegged and a floating exchange rate system during the same time period (1979-1997). The relationship is tested between three ERM countries, France, Germany and Holland, and also between these countries and the United States. The ERM countries have a pegged exchange rate between thems...

In this paper we evaluate the data transmission performance of a generalized multiple-tree-based overlay architecture for peer-to-peer live streaming that employs multipath transmission and forward error correction. We give mathematical models to describe the error recovery in the presence of packet losses. We evaluate the data distribution performance of the overlay, its asymptotic behavior, t...

the rank-k numerical range has a close connection to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. for noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the associated joint rank-k numerical range is non-empty. in this paper the notion of joint rank-k numerical range is generalized and some statements of [2011, generaliz...

at first, ground-based circular strip-map synthetic aperture radar (gb-csmsar) and its capabilities is introduced and the received signal model, 2-d frequency spectrum and the azimuth and range resolutions are derived and compared with the linear motion strip-map sar resolutions. because of the stability of the path and speed of antenna in gb-csmsar a frequency domain imaging algorithm is sugge...

This paper represents a dynamic specification of the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) based on recent developments on cointegration techniques and error correction models. Based on Greek meat consumption data over the period 1958–1993, it was found that the proposed formulation performs well on both theoretical and statistical grounds, as the theoretical properties of homogeneity and symmetry ...

This paper introduces an iterative method to estimate the cointegrating vectors in the error correction models. The method provides the asymptotically efficient estimators for the cointegrating vectors if iterated once or more. If it is iterated until convergence, we may obtain the maximum likelihood estimator by Johansen. For all values of 1 ≤ k ≤ ∞, the k-step iterative estimators are asympto...

In this paper, a combined cross-section and time-series econometric analysis of Spanish regional growth is presented. This analysis operates with a database where the number of cross-sectional units is small for a typical panel of data, while the time dimension is clearly dominant. First, using recent techniques in the econometric analysis of panel data (both panel unit root and panel co-integr...

The American lumber market has gone through various demand and supply shocks for 40 years, and has been particularly shaped by harvesting restrictions in the Pacific Northwest. Linkage of lumber markets has considerably changed since then, with the most observable alteration in price fluctuation. In this study, the degree of spatial price linkage between the South and Pacific Northwest markets ...

The temporal interdependence between saving and output has been in focus in a number of recent empirical studies. Results from these studies have compelled some authors to question the traditional notion of a causal chain where saving leads growth through capital accumulation. This paper contributes to this literature. As opposed to the previous studies, which have mainly utilised panel-estimat...

As the largest developing country in the world, with rapid economic growth, China has witnessed fast-paced urbanization development over the past three decades. In fact, urbanization has been shown to promote economic growth and improve the livelihood of people, but it can also increase energy consumption and further generate energy crisis. Therefore, a better understanding of the relationship ...
