This thesis consists of three essays: Essay Nr. 1 (Kolmogorov-Wiener Filters for Finite Time-Series) describes a framework to implement optimally linear filters in the context of finite time series. The filters under consideration have the property that they minimize the mean squared error compared to some ideal hypothetical filter. It is shown in examples that three commonly used filters, the ...

study of price trend in iran, showed that general level of prices is rising continually during time. an inflation situation has effect on most economic variables. therefore investigation of effective factors and variables on inflation is important. exchange rate and gap in product are factors which affect inflation. in this paper the impact of exchange rate shocks and gap on inflation in iran’s...

Catalano and Bruckner conclude in their letter that there is no association between the Great Recession and life expectancy at birth (LEB) in the USA. What they are actually trying to do is to refute that recessions and expansions are associated with changes in mortality. That association has been shown by a number of authors in different ways, often employing the unemployment rate as economic ...

the solar radiation received by earth surface is one of the most applicable parameter that is so important in hydrology, agriculture, meteorology and climatological modeling. because of very expensive instrument for measuring the radiation, researchers suggested many different experimental equations to estimate this parameter in different climate. seven models which are calibrated for semi-arid...
