Using a State-space model, this paper investigates the contribution of both observed and unobserved fundamentals to nominal exchange rate movement in Iran for the period 1991:2-2011:4. To this end, we follow Engel and West (2005) and Balke et al. (2013) and use an asset-pricing approach to develop a rational expectations present value exchange rate model. In order to examine the role of fun...

there are various causes for inflation in macroeconomics. one of the important channels of experiencing inflation is through the international economy caused by external shocks. in this context, the impact of exchange rate volatilities on domestic prices known as exchange rate pass-through (erpt) plays a vital role. the present paper deals with the impact of exchange rate pass-through on inflat...

exchange rate pass-through to the price of traded goods is one of the important issues in economy of developing countries such as iran and affects the efficiency of the exchange rate policies to improve the trade balance. the main aim of this paper is to empirically analyze exchange rate pass-through to iran's saffron export price using panel data for twenty destination markets during 2000...

since the breakdown of the bretton woods system, exchange arrangements of countries have become flexible. several attempts have been made to determine whether the theories of optimum currency areas adequately explain the choice of an exchange rate system. in this paper, the optimum currency area is retested. using cross-section data, a regression analysis of the choice of an exchange rate syste...

the purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of financial liberalization on exchange rate volatilities of the selected developing countries, which are now known as liberalizing countries. thus we test the hypothesis in which financial liberalization effect exchange rate volatilities in 43 selected developing countries during 1996-2005. accordingly, a regression model of exchange rate vol...

Using a new s-nucleosynthesis code coupled with the stellar evolution code Star2003, simulations have been performed to study the impact of the convection treatment on the s-process during core He-burning of a 25 M⊙ star (ZAMS mass) with an initial metallicity of Z=0.02. Particular attention has been devoted to the impact of the extent of overshooting on the s-process efficiency. The results sh...
