Valence topological charge-transfer (CT) indices are applied to the calculation of dipole moments mu. The mu calculated by algebraic and vector semisums of the CT indices are defined. The model is generalized for molecules with heteroatoms and corrected for sp(3)-heteromolecules. The ability of the indices for the description of the molecular charge distribution is established by comparing them...

This paper presents a small-scale macroeconometric time-series model that can be used to generate short-term forecasts for U.S. output, inflation, and the rate of unemployment. Drawing on both the Bayesian VAR and vector error corrections (VEC) literature, I specify the baseline model as a Bayesian VEC. I document the model’s forecasting ability over various periods, examine its impulse respons...

This study aims to estimate the function of copper consumption using the Johansen approach in time series data, between 1991-2011 in Iran. The literature review of specialized consumption and demand functions shows factors influencing the consumption of copper including copper price variables, aluminum price as a substitute commodity, oil price as a complementary commodity, and industrializatio...

How strongly are foreign exchange markets linked in terms of their similarities long-run fluctuations? Are they cointegrating? To analyze such “comovements,” we present a time-varying cointegration model for the rates currencies Canada, Japan, and UK vis-à-vis U.S. dollar from May 1990 through July 2015. Unlike previous studies, allow loading matrix vector error-correction (VEC) to be varying o...

this paper develops an analysis of budget deficit financing in termsof a crowding out or crowding in effect on the activity of the privatesector for the economies of iran and algeria as two mena countries,(because of its economic structures (dependence on oil revenue)) duringthe period 1970-2012 by using cointegration and vector errorcorrection approaches. the analysis confirms the existence of...

the prime objective of the study is to identify the long-run and short-run relationship between indian stock price viz., bse sensex (hereafter named as bse) and gold price (gold) in india. the daily closing price data were collected for the period of ten years ranging from 1st april 2004 to 31st march 2014 with 2490 observations. the study employed two models: model one used gold as dependent v...
