I study the consumption responses of heterogeneous households following changes in both house prices and interest rates. I show the common assumption that household period utility is separable in housing and consumption can be consistent with the observed co-movement between these two series only in the absence of housing transaction costs. When these costs are introduced into dynamic stochasti...

in this paper, a house is assumedas an expression of culture. it has been tried to study a qajar1 house in tabriz, in terms of its ties with cultural context.methods and viewpoints of amos rapoport have been used in order to identify and peruse the circumstance of this relationship. the main reason for using rapoport's viewpoints to understand salmasi house, as a case study, in addition to...

This paper provides an equilibrium framework to organize the following empirical observations in the U.S. housing market from 1975 to 2007: (i) housing tenure and vacancies were approximately constant, (ii) rents were approximately constant, and (iii) in the late 1990s there was a large house price appreciation. Borrowing ideas from search and matching theory, and closing the model with self-fu...

according to islamic teachings, human being moves towards perfection if conditions conducive to his/her calmness are realized at home. according to this view, 'house' represents 'family' and a muslim's home is regarded as sacred and private. there is an inherent tendency in human being towards privacy, the most important of which is realized at home. therefore, if priva...

BACKGROUND In the past 30 years the rate of increase in incarceration for females who abuse substances has outpaced that of men. Women have increased health and economic disparities, and face barriers to economic mobility, increasing their risk of returning to the criminal justice system. Past research suggests that there is a positive relationship between living in Oxford House and employment ...

Housing data are of a nested nature as houses are nested in a village, a town, or a county. This study thus applies HLM (hierarchical linear modelling) in an empirical study by adding neighborhood characteristic variables into the model for consideration. Using the housing data of 31 neighborhoods in the Taipei area as analysis samples and three HLM sub-models, this study discusses the impact o...

Salmonella is one of the major sources of toxi-infection in humans. Incidences of human salmonellosis have greatly increased over the past 20 years and this can largely be attributed to epidemics of Salmonella enteritidis phage type 4 within poultry. The main concern with this bacterium is the existence of silent carriers, i.e. animals harbouring S. enteritidis without expressing any visible sy...

OBJECTIVE To test the Work Ability House model, verifying the hierarchy of proposed dimensions, among a group of hospital workers. METHODS A cohort study (2009-2011) was conducted with a sample of 599 workers from a hospital in the city of São Paulo. A questionnaire including sociodemographics, lifestyle and working conditions was used. The Brazilian versions of Job Stress Scale, Effort-Rewar...

We present an integrated model for using deep neural networks to solve street view number recognition problem. We didn’t follow the traditional way of first doing segmentation then perform recognition on isolated digits, but formulate the problem as a sequence recognition problem under probabilistic treatment. Our model leverage a deep Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) to represent the highly v...
