market volatility remains one of the most important research fields in agricultural economics.interestingly, price transmission mechanism seems to be symmetric in sectors that are likely to be of high political power.this paper analyzes the price transmission effects from international markets to domestic markets for corn in iran. for this purpose, we estimate the elasticity of substitution bet...

introduction: based on the invasive studies it has been shown that factors such as age, the progress of eye disorders, lens fibers compression and the biochemical changes of ocular matrix alter the physical characteristics and elastic properties of eye. in this study, a noninvasive method of estimating human eye elasticityis proposed and its relation with age and gender is evaluated using ultra...

Quasicrystals can carry, in addition to the classical phonon displacement field, a phason displacement field, which requires a generalized theory of elasticity. In this paper, the third-order strain invariants (including phason strain) of icosahedral quasicrystals are determined. They are connected with 20 independent third-order elastic constants. By means of non-linear elasticity, phason stra...

This paper examines the smoking behavior in China using the urban data set from the 1995 Chinese Household Income Study. We investigate the two parts of elasticity through employing two main models. We find the estimate of overall cigarette price elasticity is –0.654 by combining the estimates of participation elasticity and conditional elasticity. The result implies that people still care abou...

Incorporating a household’s net sale status into a rearranged Slutsky equation with combined ordinary and endowment income effects, this paper aims to reinterpret the income elasticity of demand in the case of buying and selling and to associate it with types of goods in a novel manner. To this end, the Deaton’s (1989) net benefit ratio (NBR) approach is expressed as the difference between orig...

Equity mutual fund loads have fallen, while stock ownership rates and equity mutual fund use have risen, plausibly boosting the stock wealth elasticity of U.S. consumption. Because of limited wealth and diversification needs, load declines likely spurred middle-income families to invest in equity, consistent with cross-section data and the calibration model of Heaton and Lucas (2000). In load-m...

The capital income share exceeds the capital output elasticity if capital owners extract rents. Based on a sample of 111 countries during the period 1970-2010, this paper provides estimates of the capital output elasticity and compares these to countries' capital income shares. Three findings arise: (i) for the average country in the sample, the capital income share significantly exceeds the ca...

Cloud environments are being increasingly used for deploying and executing business processes and particularly Service-based Business Processes (SBPs). One of the expected features of Cloud environments is elasticity at different levels. It is obvious that provisioning of elastic platforms is not sufficient to provide elasticity of the deployed business process. Therefore, SBPs should be provid...

We propose a framework for the unified analysis of mixed methods for elasticity with weakly symmetric stress. Based on a commuting diagram in the weakly symmetric elasticity complex and extending a previous stability result, stable mixed methods are obtained by combining Stokes stable and elasticity stable finite elements. We show that the framework can be used to analyze most existing mixed me...

In this paper, we study the correlation of tissue (i.e. prostate) elasticity with the spread and aggression of prostate cancers. We describe an improved, in-vivo method that estimates the individualized, relative tissue elasticity parameters directly from medical images. Although elasticity reconstruction, or elastograph, can be used to estimate tissue elasticity, it is less suited for in-vivo ...
