The Generalized Commercial Gravity Model and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression of p...

Most previous studies involving public goods games are investigated under a simplifying assumption that participation is either compulsive or unidirectional optional in collective interactions. Nevertheless, how the mutual selection rule, a more realistic participation mode, affects the evolution of cooperation in structured populations is still unclear. Here we introduce a reputation-based mut...

By using game theory, this paper seeks to achieve the best strategy that Iran could use in confronting other partne...

The self-organizing map (SOM) algorithm produces artificial neural maps by simulating competition and cooperation among neurons. We study the consequences of input background activity on simulated self-organization, using the SOM, of the retinotopic map in the superior colliculus. The colliculus not only represents its inputs but also uses them to localize saccadic targets. Using the colliculus...

Abstract The mutual agreement procedure is the main instrument available to both taxpayers and tax administrations for mitigating international double taxation arising from transfer pricing adjustments. Although it may apply cases generated by other topics, this article refers strictly its application in context of pricing. Ensuring mechanism operates as smooth possible one factors contributing...
