This paper investigates the nonlinear relationship between capital structure and firm performance in MENA region using a sample of 499 listed firms over 2007–2020 period, or 6986 firm-year observations. Specifically, we examine size-threshold effect structure–firm nexus. To do so, this study applies dynamic panel threshold regression model (DPTR). The findings show that there is debt (Tobin’s Q...

This study provides new evidence on the relationship between finance and economic growth using an innovative dynamic panel threshold technique. The sample consists of 87 developed and developing countries. The empirical results indicate that there is a threshold effect in the finance–growth relationship. In particular, we find that the level of financial development is beneficial to growth only...

in this paper, the non-linear dynamic response of novel steel sandwich panel with hollow i-core subjected to blast loading was studied. special emphasis is placed on the evaluation of midpoint displacements and energy dissipation of the models. several parameters such as boundary conditions, strain rate, mesh dependency and asymmetrical loading are considered in this study. the material and geo...

The purpose of this paper is to shed new light on the incidence minimum wage unemployment rate 33 OECD countries during 1980–2020 period applying a dynamic fixed effects panel threshold model. Controlling for usual macroeconomic and demographic factors, best model estimates 9.1667. Specifically, higher lower rate, however marginal effect larger above value. A single-threshold identified 25–74, ...

This work studies the effects of dynamic threshold design techniques on the speed and power of digital circuits. A new dynamic threshold transistor structure has been proposed to improve performances of digital circuits. The proposed switched-capacitor dynamic threshold PMOS (SC-DTPMOS) scheme employs a capacitor along with an NMOS switch in order to effectively reduce the threshold voltage of ...

'The triangle odor bag method', which has been adopted for the offensive odor control law in Japan, and the dynamic olfactometry defined by EN 13725 have been compared. The odor concentration measured by the triangle odor bag method tends to be higher than that of the dynamic olfactometry in the forced choice mode, while well agreed in the Yes/No mode olfactometry when the panel is the same. Th...
