The Okun curve is non - linear * ́

چکیده
This paper presents cross-country evidence on a non-linear Okun curve. The analysis is based on a simple error–correction model of unemployment. The model is estimated using a threshold model estimator. Evidence from 20 OECD countries for the period 1960–1997 provides support for the existence of non-linearities in terms of the output growth effects. Output growth has a strong effect on unemployment when unemployment is low and output is high, and vice versa. Thus, in bad times, the effect of output growth on unemployment can be close to zero. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

An Estimation of Laffer Curve in Iran: A Non-Linear Approach
Laffer curve indicates relationship between tax rate and tax income. The aim of this paper is estimating of laffer curve in Iranian economy. To do so, we have used threshold regression method. Empirical results indicate that since the tax rate is low (the threshold value is less than 0.0848) in two-regime model, tax rate and tax income have a significant positive relationship, but when the tax ...
متن کاملAn Experimental Investigation into the Effect of Curve Radius on the Discharge Coefficient in Curved-Linear and Curved-Labyrinth Weirs with a Triangular Plan
Nonlinear weirs are regarded as important hydraulic structures for water level adjustment and flow control in channels, rivers and dam reservoirs. One example of non-linear weirs is shaped as curved-zigzag. The crest axis of these weirs is non-linear. At a given width, the crest length is greater than that of the conventional linear weirs. Thus, they achieve a higher flow rate for an identical ...

Native poultry is a valuable genetic source with high resistance against diseases providing an important subject for breeding programs. The non-linear mathematical modeling of the growth pattern may partly explain the relationship between requirements and body weight to precise feeding that plays a vital role in the animal enterprises. A study was conducted to compare five non-linear models inc...
متن کاملInvestigation of linear and non-linear estimation methods in highly-skewed gold distribution
The purpose of this work is to compare the linear and non-linear kriging methods in the mineral resource estimation of the Qolqoleh gold deposit in Saqqez, NW Iran. Considering the fact that the gold distribution is positively skewed and has a significant difference with a normal curve, a geostatistical estimation is complicated in these cases. Linear kriging, as a resource estimation method, c...

Extended abstract 1- Introduction The phenomena of erosion, sediment transport, and sedimentations have tremendously destructive effects on the environment and hydraulics structures. In general, the sediment transportation depends on river discharges, but the proposed equations inherited serious errors. The estimation of suspended sediment load (SSL) is one of the most important factors in r...
