We use a vintage capital production function to model investment in Switzerland. A special feature is the use of survey data to map observable data on latent variables. In addition, a labour market is modelled. This results in a fairly complicated model structure and so far estimation required ad hoc assumptions and calibration. In contrast to that this paper links the theoretical framework giv...

the main objective of this research was assessing the effects of land use on runoff parameters such as total runoff, surface runoff and peak discharges at the baghsalian watershed as a case study site. at first, land use maps of 1986 and 2012 were prepared using a synthetic method and landsat images. wetspa model was applied to simulate daily runoff for 8 years (the first 5 years as calibration...

this paper estimates the determinants of inflation in iran using a linear and non- linear regression model over the period 1959-2008. in the model specification, the conventional variables (liquidity, production and exchange rate) as well as positive and negative oil revenue shocks, monetary disequilibrium, and demand gap are considered. the results show that nonlinear time series regression mo...

in this study, the process-based watershed model, soil and water assessment tool (swat), was used for simulating hydrology and sediment transport in the gharesou watershed and for identifying critical areas of soil erosion and water pollution. after model calibration and uncertainty analysis using sufi-2 (sequential uncertainty fitting, ver. 2) method, the outputs of the calibrated model were u...

natural aquifer vulnerability can be defined as reaching pollution to groundwater and the possibility to propogate in it after land contamination. this is a relative specification, with no dimension and cannot be measured; which it is not only depended on aquifer specification but also on geological and hydrological characteristics of the aquifer of the region. varieties of methods have been de...
