This study uses " Multiple Indicators – Multiple Causes" (MIMIC) approach to model the causal relations between main variables, which determine the underground economy in Iran. we Basically, it examines the relationship between underground and official GDP in Iran, using annual time-series data for Iran during 1965 – 2005. Accordingly, it is found that the estimated size of the underground ...

L ow tax incomes and the large size of the government in Iran lead into budget deficit, which increases the inflation rate. It also causes economic instability and fluctuations in inflation, leading to tax non-compliance and the transfer of people to the informal economy. Therefore, considering the variables of financial discipline and behavioral factors, this research examines the e...

one is compiling statistics or training predictive algorithms that model the language or attributes in notes. We developed an algorithm to identify and characterize highly similar notes within the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care (MIMIC-III) dataset. We found that there were multiple instances of exact copies, common outputs, and template notes form the public domain MIMI...

This study employs the use of two methods of canonical correlation analysis to investigate the relationship between two latent variables: corporation “size” and “profitability”. The variables examined are divided into an independent set of variables representing the latent variable “size”, and a dependent set of variables representing the latent variable called “profitability”. The first method...

In this note I would like to approach the question posed in the title, and in the literature, from a purely consequentialist perspective. In other words, I want to ask, would treating extreme poverty as a violation of human rights actually lead to a reduction in poverty, or at least lead to the conditions which would in turn lead to a reduction in poverty? This is not to minimize or deny the im...
