This paper employs recently developed techniques for testing hypotheses in cointegrated panels to test the strong version of purchasing power parity for a panel of post Bretton Woods data. We compare results using fully modiŽ ed and dynamic OLS approaches , and strongly reject the hypothesis . We also introduce a new between-dimensio n dynamic OLS estimator and Ž nd that the between-dimensio n ...

Relative population growth affects relative prices through the so-called BalassaSamuelson (BS) mechanism and that in turn impacts PPP. This paper empirically investigates the relationship between PPP exchange rate and relative population growth in a panel of 80 selected countries. Following the Balassa-Samuelson hypothesis this paper argues that relative population growth affects nominal wages ...

background prostate cancer is a serious genetic disease known as the first widespread cancer in men, yet the molecular changes required for the cancer progression is not fully understood. availability of high-throughput gene expression data has led to the development of various computational methods for the identification of critical genes involved in the cancer. methods in this paper, we show ...

Some of the globe’s most economically advanced nations make up G7 (Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, United States and Kingdom). Nevertheless, in tandem with such strong economic growth, environmental conditions these have deteriorated, raising serious issues among stakeholders. Therefore, we examine effect eco-innovation trade openness on CO 2 emissions nations. We also take into account ...

The multislope ski-rental problem is an extension of the classical ski-rental problem, where the player has several options of paying both of a per-time fee and an initial fee, in addition to pure renting and buying options. Damaschke gave a lower bound of 3.62 on the competitive ratio for the case where arbitrary number of options can be offered. In this paper we propose a scheme that for the ...

Abstract Deictic co-speech gestures (DCSGs) are commonly regarded as intimately related to exophoric demonstrative forms; yet, no account is available that formalises this relation. This paper proposes DCSGs spell-out part of the internal structure demonstratives: concretely, they contribute spatial coordinates (direction and distance, syntactically encoded by Demonstrative ‘Dem’ head a Measure...

This work achieved nitrogen recovery from the wastewater treatment by bioelectrochemical system with concept of biohythane generation. In this study, 3D network electrode could improve generation to reduce energy consumption recovery, achieving highest production rate at 0.123 m3 m−3 treated obtain 0.77 kWh kg−1 N under 0.8 V, significantly lower than other traditional technologies (at about 1....
