In this paper, we estimate Okun’s coefficients for ten Canadian provinces using real GDP and unemployment rate data across the provinces. We obtain an average estimated Okun’s coefficient of –1.58 under the Hodrick-Prescott detrending method and –1.32 under the quadratic detrending method. There is relative stability of the coefficients across the two detrending methods. Generally, the cost of ...

This study examines, using quantile regression, the linkage between food security and efforts to enhance smallholder coffee producer incomes in Rwanda. Even though in Rwanda smallholder coffee producer incomes have increased, inhabitants these areas still experience stunting and wasting. This study examines whether the distribution of the income elasticity for food is the same for coffee and no...

BACKGROUND During the last decades, the number of dentistry units increased significantly across the country. The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of dental units of Iran provinces regarding dental health inputs and outputs using Data Envelopment Analysis approach. METHODS In this applied descriptive-analytical study, the study population included all of Iran 31 provinces. The o...

Wheat is widely grown in Iran as a staple food; therefore, the government there encourages farmers to produce wheat (a common agricultural enterprise) by increasing farm productivity and efficiency. The study compares the efficiency of wheat production for dryland (low input) and irrigated (high input) systems across Iranian provinces by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The average techni...

The Poland syndrome is a rare anomaly. It consists of unilateral absence or hypoplasia of the pectoralis muscle, most frequently involving the sternocostal portion and a variable degree of ipsilateral hand and digit anomalies. The combination of Poland syndrome and dextrocardia is uncommon. We describe a case of Poland syndrome with dextrocardia and Patent ductus arteriosus.
