In a wide class of monetary models with both cash and credit goods, the main welfare cost of inflation is that it distorts the choice between these two goods. In these models, distortions exist because the relevant measure of the relative price between cash and credit goods for consumers is the usual relative price discounted by the nominal interest rate. Changes in the inflation rate therefore...

Relative risk aversion (RRA) of consumption (RRAC) differs from RRA of wealth (RRAW) is an empirical fact explained in the study of Meyer and Meyer (2005). However dynamic consumption/ investment problems are only solved in the finance literature when both RRA equal (RRAC = RRAW). Following the martingale route, we derive optimal consumption and investment solutions for a (CRRA) investor when b...

Background: To examine the relative contributions of dietary fat intake level and its food sources and assisted reproduction parameters. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 240 infertile women. In assisted reproduction treatment cycle, body mass index (BMI), physical activity (PA), calorie intake, fat consumption and major food sources were assessed. The number of retrie...

Plant litter decomposition is an essential ecosystem function that contributes to carbon and nutrient cycling in streams. Aquatic shredders, mainly macroinvertebrates, can affect this process in various ways; they consume leaf litter, breaking it down into fragments and creating suitable habitats or resources for other organisms through the production of fine particulate organic matter (FPOM). ...

Consumption is the principal feature of Iran’s Gross National Production. Therefore, recognizing of factors that influence it is quite crucial. This article, investigates habit formation, durability, relative risk aversion and intertemporal substitution in consumption expenditures of Iranian households. For empirical study, at first, we constructed two weighted portfolio of the main assets re...

introduction: the relative costs of generating energy vary considerably depending on location. since hospital managers confront serious financial problems, they need to look for ways to use energy more efficiently. this study aimed to study the rate of energy use (water, gas and electricity) in a number of hospitals in isfahan from 1378 to 1382 and to compare the results with the available stan...

in order to estimate responses of growth rate and growth hormone of clarias gariepinus to stocking density, fish (initial weight 30.71 ± 0.89 g) were stocked in 120-l tanks at densities of 35, 65, 95, and 125 kg/m3 for 60 days. on day 30 and 60, the fish growth rates were measured, pituitary growth hormone (gh) mrna levels and serum gh concentrations were examined by real-time qpcr and elisa te...

Glucose levels in serum, plasma, and urine are determined rapidly and conveniently by a new glucose oxidase method employing a polarographic oxygen sensor with a circuit modified to record the rate of oxygen consumption. The maximum apparent rate of oxygen consumption relative to the rate obtained with a glucose standard provides a direct measure of the glucose level in the sample; results are ...
