A large number of papers have been written by physicists documenting an alleged signature of imminent financial crashes involving so-called log-periodic oscillations—oscillations which are periodic with respect to the logarithm of the time to the crash. In addition to the obvious practical implications of such a signature, log-periodicity has been taken as evidence that financial markets can be...

The paper aims at vertical price transmission of the agri-food market in Czech Republic. It is focused on analysis pork meat by investigating short-run and long-run relationships within product speed establishing equilibrium relationship. For this purpose, there employed specially VECM (Vector Error Correction Model), impulse-response analysis, decomposition variance VECM, which show system’s r...

Branchial resistance decreases as cardiac output and oxygen consumption increase during exercise in trout (Stevens & Randall, 1967a, b; Stevens, 1968a, b) so blood flow rises to a much greater extent than blood pressure. Similar changes also probably occur during real or CO-induced anaemia (Cameron & Davis, 1970; Holeton, 1971) but not during hypoxia (Holeton & Randall, 1967a, b). A large numbe...

this study aims to evaluate the link between economic growth and consumer price index (cpi) in japan for the period of 1980-2014. initial series were adjusted for stationarity using the augmented dickey- fuller (adf) test for unit root followed by the application of johansen co-integration test in order to examine the long-run relationship among the variables, while the causalities were evaluat...
