This work evaluates whether or not the interest rate rules under different exchange rate regimes lead to a REE that is both locally determinate and stable under adaptive learning by private agents. I find that monetary interdependence among countries is crucial for the determinacy and learning...

Several different species of ions, Au, Fe, Ag, Ti and Si, were implanted into austenite stainless steel sheets at an energy of 3 MeV respectively. The martensite transformation induced with the ion implantation was investigated with transmission electron microscopy equipped with an energy...

We conduct an extensive examination of profitability of technical analysis in ten emerging foreign exchange markets. Studying 25988 trading strategies for emerging foreign exchange markets, we find that best rules can sometimes generate an annually mean excess return of more than 30%. Based on...

The 1995 survey on DA (decision analysis) in energy and environmental modeling by Huang et al. [1] listed 95 publications; later Zhou et al. [2] updated the survey with 252 publications by classifying the studies according to source of publications, DA method, application area, and several new...

A new aerodynamic model, PANROM, of horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT), which couples 3D Panel Method and Reduced Order Model (ROM) based on Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD), is presented in this paper. By integrating the characters of the two different numerical methods, the PANROM model...

Water users along the Murray River, Australia, have traditionally used climatology forecasts of river flows for intra-annual planning of water use and trading. In this paper, we develop and assess the performance of statistical models for forecasting three-month inflow totals for the Murray...

The mathematical expression of nonadditivity X(1 ∪ 2)=X(1) + X(2) + αX(1)X(2) has been frequently used for the development of statistical physics for nonadditive system, where X is entropy or energy, and α is hoped to be a parameter characterising the nonadditive property of the composite...

We conduct an extensive examination of the profitability of technical analysis in ten emerging foreign exchange markets. Studying 25,988 trading strategies for emerging foreign exchange markets, we find that the best rules can sometimes generate an annual mean excess return of more than 30%....

Measuring individual investors' speculative demand for stocks using the Google search volume index (hereafter “SVI”) on penny stocks, we examine how it relates to the return dynamics of U.S. stock indices. Speculative demand leads to a short-term return reversal. A simple trading strategy...

In this paper, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from ENVISAT ASAR ascending, descending and ALOS PALSAR ascending orbits are collected to investigate the coseismic displacements of the Mw 6.4 earthquake occurred in Gaize, Tibet on January 9, 2008 and the Mw 5.9 aftershock on January 16, 2008....
