Which Countries are Catching up? New Evidences Using Flexible Fourier Stationary Test

In this paper, we tested the catching-up hypothesis toward the USA using Becker et al. (2006) flexible Fourier KPSS stationary test over the period 1960-2009. The mentioned test could control for unknown number and form of structural breaks using a selected frequency component of a Fourier function. Our results show almost poor countries stay poor and almost rich countries stay rich. South Kore...

Scholarly productivity: are nurse academics catching up?

Which OIC countries are catching up? Time Series Evidences with Multiple Structural Breaks

Abstract In this paper, income per capita convergence hypothesis is tested in selected OIC countries. For this purpose, we use the time series model and univariate KPSS stationary test with multiple structural breaks (Carrion-i-Silvestre et al. (2005)) over the period 1950-2008. The results show that most OIC countries could not catch up toward USA. Although because of some positive term of tra...

Are fathers catching up with mothers in liver donation?

abnormalities [1-3]. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis was carried out using TUPLE region probe (from Kreatech Diagnostics, Netherland) on metaphase and interphase cells. Presence of two intact signals on chromosome 22 ruled out 22q11.2 deletion. Thus, chromosomal analysis was carried out using the GTG-banding technique and the patient was found to be tetrasomy for sex chromoso...
