Laffer curve indicates relationship between tax rate and tax income. The aim of this paper is estimating of laffer curve in Iranian economy. To do so, we have used threshold regression method. Empirical results indicate that since the tax rate is low (the threshold value is less than 0.0848) in two-regime model, tax rate and tax income have a significant positive relationship, but when the tax ...

This paper describes our proposed technique AutoDomainMine that performs data mining guided by fundamental knowledge of the domain. The data being mined consists of input conditions from quenching experiments and the resulting heat transfer curves, i.e., plots of heat transfer coefficients versus part temperature. Since heat transfer coefficients characterize quenching, the estimation assists d...

The main goal of this paper is to propose a new practical method for hydrologic soil group estimation in surface runoff process based on geomorphology facieses and slop. The determination of CN based on this method can reduce the time and cost of project. In this research the upstream rivers of Glinak Watershed have been used as a case study to examine the efficiency of proposed method with a c...

The major problem in the assessment of relationships between rainfall and runoff occurs when a study is carried out in ungauged watersheds in the absence of hydro-climatic data. This study aims to evaluate the applicability of Natural Resources Conservation Service-Curve Number (NRCS-CN) method together with GIS in estimating runoff depth in a mountainous watershed. The study was carried out in...

There are two sources for governments to raise their revenues. The first is the direct taxation levied on output, and the second is seigniorage. Seigniorage is also known as printing new money and is defined as the value of real resources acquired by the government through its power of sovereignty on its monopoly of printing money. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Laffer curve for Se...

In this paper, we present arc-length estimations for quadratic rational Bézier curves using the length of polygon and distance between both end points. Our arc-length estimations coincide with the arc-length of the quadratic rational Bézier curve exactly when the weight w is 0, 1 and∞. We show that for all w > 0 our estimations are strictly increasing with respect to w. Moreover, we find the pa...
