this paper aims to investigate a new and intricate behavior of immediate follower during the lane change of leader vehicle. accordingly, the mentioned situation is a transient state in car following behavior during which the follower vehicle considerably deviates from conventional car following models for a limited time, which is a complex state including lateral and longitudinal movement simul...

the current study addresses an estimation of investor's optimal portfolio under conditions of uncertainty by using a combination of artificial neural network and markowitz models. for this purpose, such assets as stock prices, house prices, coin and bonds price are used with monthly data over the period 1378-1392. three variables including inflation uncertainty, oil uncertainty and free ma...

Over the past 40 years economists have devoted considerable effort to estimating long-run trends in real commodity prices. The results indicate that the real prices for many commodities have fallen, suggesting to the surprise of many that resource scarcity is declining over time. Almost all of this work, however, uses the U.S. producer price index or other standard price deflators, which recent...

Feng shui is the scientific knowledge of Chinese ancient. In Taiwan, though some people thought that feng shui is the superstition, we can see the influence on the people's lives including of choosing good days, divination and house selecting. From the past researches, we know many factors affect the real estate price. Those factors are the announced land values, the building room age, building...

The present study examines state-level banking-industry specific as well as region economic determinants of non-performing loans for all commercial banks and savings institutions across 50 US states and the District of Columbia for 1984–2013. Using both fixed effects and dynamic-GMM estimations, I find greater capitalization, liquidity risks, poor credit quality, greater cost inefficiency and b...

interest as investment opportunity cost or in other words cost of obtaining the credit requirement in the production process, have a key role in the good's cost price and hence it's necessary to control this kind of variables that have harmful effects on the interest rate's trends. among this, the unexpected changes in some variables that can have destructive effects on interest ...

Exchanges often sell both trading services and price information. We study the effect of combining the sale of these two products on price discovery, in a rational expectations model. We show that pricing errors and thereby speculators’ trading profits decline when price information becomes available in real-time to a wider number of speculators. As a result, speculators’ willingness to pay for...

This paper examines if US monetary policy responds to asset prices. Using real-time data we estimate a Taylor-type rule with an asset price variable. This variable refers to real estate prices, considering that those exhibit an important share in households’ asset portfolio. Moreover, especially real estate prices seem to have a close connection to monetary conditions. To analyze this link we d...

Recently, some algorithms have been proposed for optimal real-time price in smart grid based on optimization theory. In this paper, a recurrent neural network modeled by means of a differential inclusion is proposed for solving this problem. Compared with the existing algorithms, recurrent neural network as parallel computational models for real-time optimization and applications have received ...
