We present a monetary endogenous growth model and analyze the effects of fiscal and monetary policy with real money as an argument in the utility function. We show that a balanced government budget gives a higher balanced growth rate and lower inflation than a situation with permanent public deficits. It also leads to higher welfare compared to a situation with permanent deficits where the gove...

In many behavioural, ecological and evolutionary trade-offs, patterns and trends, the same/ similar outcomes are often expected from the different initial conditions. One of the most frequently encountered problems in ecology is how to disentangle two or more different hypotheses possibly explaining the emergence of an ecological pattern based on limited data that would fit both. Using previous...

We introduce endogenous probability of survival in the standard Keynes-Ramsey optimal growth model. An individual’s probability of survival is assumed to be dependent on past levels of consumption. Endogenous probability of survival effectively also implies that the rate of time preference (or degree of patience) of an individual is no longer an exogenously given parameter. We solve the dynamic...

We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) in discrete time with sequential update. The joint distribution of the positions of selected particles is expressed as a Fredholm determinant with a kernel defining a signed determinantal point process. We focus on periodic initial conditions where particles occupy dZ, d ≥ 2. In the proper large time scaling limit, the fluctuat...

A B S T R A C T The role of glucagon in the metabolic adaptation to prolonged fasting in man has been examined. Plasma immunoreactive glucagon was determined during 6-wk fasts and during infusion of exogenous glucagon using an assay which minimized nonpancreatic immunoreactivity. Plasma glucagon concentrations rose twofold to a peak on the 3rd day of fasting and then declined thereafter to a le...

in order to study the possibility of control of heterodera schachtii  in sugarbeet fields through integration of rotation with non- host crops and resistant catch crops and their effects on quantitative and qualitative traits of sugarbeet, this study was started from 2002 for three years in esfahan province. the experiments were carried out in a randomized complete block design with eight treat...
