a r t i c l e i n f o JEL classification: C11 E32 E52 Keywords: New Keynesian models Small open economy Monetary policy Taylor rules Bayesian methods Using the Bayesian approach, a small open economy DSGE model was estimated using a sample of quarterly data for three Central and Eastern Europe economies, Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. The hypothesis that central banks react to exchange rat...

In the last decade, the prospect of accession of Central and East European countries (CEECs) to the European Union has given momentum to the discussion of their economic integration into the EU. Thus, academic studies have generally focused on variables at the macro level and are conducted in the light of quantitative methodologies in social sciences. This paper instead focuses mainly on the in...

In this paper, we consider a frictional contact problem with normal compliance. The problem is formulated as a variational inequality, and is shown to possess a unique solution. The nite element approximation is analyzed, with a Cee alike inequality proved. A major diiculty in actually solving the problem is caused by the presence of a non-diierentiable functional in the formulation of the prob...

in this scientific research, magnesium oxide (mgo) nanoparticles were synthesized from magnesium nitrate and ammonium solutions via microwave@sol-gel process. the structure and the morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles has been identified and characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), n2-bet (brunauer-emmett-tell), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fourier transform infrared (ftir) te...

Summary Kraljic's purchasing portfolio approach has inspired many academic writers to undertake further research into purchasing portfolio models. Although it is evident that power and dependence issues play an important role in the Kraljic matrix, scant quantitative research has been undertaken in this respect. In our study we have filled this gap by proposing quantitative measures for ‘relati...

The paper presents the published results regarding the radon concentrations in indoor air in Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Slovak Republic, Ukraine and Yugoslavia from Carpathian Basin. The study is based on the materials of the International Nuclear Information System (INIS) on a 10 year period (1986 1997). It is completed with the results of the papers published in the Conferences volu...

The E proteins of mammals, and the related Daughterless (DA) protein of Drosophila, are ubiquitously expressed helix-loop-helix (HLH) transcription factors that play a role in many developmental processes. We report here the characterization of a related C. elegans protein, CeE/DA, which has a dynamic and restricted distribution during development. CeE/DA is present embryonically in neuronal pr...

In order to incorporate FDI factors for different MNEs, industries and countries, a unique dataset that includes country-, industryand firmlevel data is constructed. This approach avoids the aggregation or disaggregation problem by considering several levels of data simultaneously in to the analysis. The constructed database contains information on 1,223 foreign investment made by EU15 countrie...
