In this paper, we use an overlapping generations model to study the factors generating the saving rate in Japan between 1960-2000. The model economy allows for observed aging of the population, total factor productivity, and fiscal policy to affect the national saving rate. Our calibrated general equilibrium setup is able to generate saving rates that are reasonably similar to the data during t...

ABSTRACT The diverse polarization properties in pulsars are conflict with applying a unique emission mechanism to the population. position angle (PPA) traverse most shows an S-shaped curve that can be interpreted using rotating vector model (RVM) as radio being directed either parallel or perpendicular divergent magnetic field lines and argues for coherent curvature radiation from charge bunche...

Cyprus is facing a growing water shortage problem, therefore water losses associated with inefficiencies of the underground water distribution system are not only causing revenue losses for the local water boards but also significantly negatively affect the national water reserves. This paper presents an outline of two research projects, related to each other, “WATERSENSE” and “URBAN WATER DIST...
