This article proposes a multivariate model of inflation with conditionally heteroskedastic common and country-specific components. The model is estimated in one-step via Quasi-Maximum Likelihood for the G7 countries for the period Q1-1960 to Q4-2009. It is found that various model specifications considered fit well the first and second order dynamics of inflation in the G7. The estimated volati...

First, we find that stock markets in Latin America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and Emerging Asia are sensitive to stock market activity of the G7 countries. However, the impact of the former on the G7 countries is much weaker at different time scales. In the same vein, the North America stock markets help to explain the evolution of returns in Latin America, Emerging Asia, the Far East...

Let C be a smooth complete algebraic curve of genus g and C2g−2 ⊂ Pg−1 the canonical model. It is generally difficult to describe its equations for higher genus. We restrict ourselves to the case of genus 8. If C has no g7, then C14 ⊂ P7 is a transversal linear section [G(2, 6) ⊂ P14] ∩H1 ∩ · · · ∩H7 of the 8-dimensional Grassmannian ([Muk2]). This is the case 〈8 〉 of the flowchart below. In th...

This paper examines the issue of state contingency in interest rate linkages across the G7 economies by employing Kalman (1960,1963) filter techniques to estimate time varying parameter models of bilateral dependence. Our results show that there is convincing evidence that international linkages in interest rates vary considerably over time. There are periods when international interest rate mo...

Using a time series framework, the paper studies the interactions of the annual real per capita GDP data of the G7 countries. We find evidence of six common nonstationary processes behind the international output dynamics. In addition, there is evidence for the existence of a common business cycle among these countries. The trend and cycle components of each output series are obtained with a pr...

Pseudomonas putida G7 exhibits chemotaxis to naphthalene, but the molecular basis for this was not known. A new gene, nahY, was found to be cotranscribed with meta cleavage pathway genes on the NAH7 catabolic plasmid for naphthalene degradation. The nahY gene encodes a 538-amino-acid protein with a membrane topology and a C-terminal region that resemble those of chemotaxis transducer proteins. ...

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the influence of hydrofluoric acid (HF) contamination on microtensile bond strength (μTBS) during dental repair procedures before and after application different dentin adhesives (Optibond FL Optibond XTR). Materials methods Thirty-five human molars were ground down into randomly divided seven groups (G1-G7; n = 5), G1 G2 being control groups. Only in test (G3-G7) s...

Novel sucrose-based G7 molecular transporters show different patterns of intracellular localization depending on the nature of the linker chains as well as the fluorescent dyes.
