the effective factors of forward speed, cylinder rotation, and clearance between a combine’s cylinder and concave on wheat kernel breakage and seed germination were studied in karaj area using a 955 model john dear combine. this study was conducted on three levels of adjustment for each of the variables, 1.2, 1.8 and 2.5 km/hr for forward speed, 800, 900, 1000 rpm for cylinder rotation as well ...

The purpose of this paper is to construct a dynamic stochastic production frontier incorporating the sluggish adjustment of inputs, to measure the speed of adjustment of output, and to compare the technical efficiency estimates from this dynamic model to those from a static model. By assuming instantaneous adjustment of all inputs, a static model may underestimate technical efficiency of a prod...

A model of industry speed of price adjustment is derived from firm pricing behaviours. The model is applied to quarterly two-digit Australian manufacturing data for the period 1985:3 to 2002:3. Initially, the industry speed of price adjustment is treated as a function of structural cross-section variables. The results suggest that the industry speed of price adjustment is positively related to ...

crude oil price and the u.s. effective exchange rate are two main economic variables that have had real effects on world welfare situation. the aim of this paper is to test whether there is a stable long-run relationship between oil prices and the u.s. dollar, expressed in real term. to this end, we perform co-integration and causality tests between the two variables, using quarterly data from ...

The study tries to explore the dynamics of comovement of stock markets of USA ,Brazil, Mexico, China and India during the period from January, 1996 to July, 2007 using daily closing price data. It attempts to analyze the speed of adjustment coefficients using daily, weekly and monthly data. It also tries to examine the efficiency of the stock market as a result of initiatives and regulatory mea...

Article history: Received 11 June 2012 Received in revised form 19 December 2013 Accepted 20 December 2013 Available online 28 December 2013 Adjustment costs play a prominent role in explanations of capital structure, but the extent of their economic importance is unknown. A credit line has institutional features important for this analysis, notably its sunk costs of access to the debt market, ...

factor demand behavior such as energy demand has an important role in the economic analysis. this issue is a major concern in the developing countries (e.g. iran) which are benefited from vast energy resources. in this paper, the third generation of factor demand models is used to analyze the behavior of capital adjustment in the iranian manufacturing industries. the dataset covers the two-digi...

This paper provides estimation method to measure technical efficiency of production units and the speed of adjustment of output, both varying with time, from a dynamic stochastic production frontier that incorporates the sluggish adjustment of inputs. Using a panel dataset on private manufacturing establishments in Egypt, I find that the speed of adjustment of output is lower than unity in ever...

The pilot is the main person in charge of taxiing safety while moving on airport surface. visual separation and speed adjustment are directly related to efficiency surface operation. According actual procedures control rules China, this paper proposes a novel microscopic simulation model based pilots’ separation. This also built by refining aircraft at intersections. observation range, judgment...
