Javid Nama and Zindagi: A Comparative Analysis
No full textIn this article Javid Nama, The famous masnavi of Allama Muhammad Iqbal and Zindgi, a novel penned down by renowned author Ch. Afzal Haq has been compared critically. Interesting resemblances between both the books are explored in this comparative study. This study probes that Javid Nama and Zindgi not only resemble regarding subject matter and thought but also in the realm of time and space. For example the time of publication, place of publication, social and intellectual context of both book are same. Both the books despite generic differences have the same novelistic, dramatic and imaginative elements

Successful bridge to recovery using two-stage HeartWare LVAD explantation approach after embolic stroke
No full textA two-stage explantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was performed on 47 year old afro-american gentlemen with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) who was successfully bridged to recovery. After he suffered a stroke caused by a VAD thrombosis with embolisation, the VAD outflow graft was first ligated using minimally-invasive approach. Two months later, the device was explanted and a manufactured titanium plug was placed into the sewing ring. This stepwise procedure might be beneficial in cases of high thromboembolic risk and in patients who suffered a thromboembolic event previously.Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 201

No full textUncertainty Evaluation of Effects of Trade Openness on Economic Growth: A Bayesian Averaging of Classical Estimates (BACE) Approach
No full textDue to uncertainty in economic growth theories, existence of various proxies for
effective factors on economic growth, and lack of indication of the most appropriate
econometric model for investigating effective variables on economic growth, the empirical
growth regressions have always faced uncertainty. To investigate this phenomenon, we
should move from the classical econometrics towards the approaches which can
appropriately deal with uncertainty. One of these approaches is the !Bayesian Averaging of
Classical Estimates Approach" which has been used in this article to evaluate the uncertainty
of the effects of trade openness on economic growth in developing countries (52 countries)
during 1970 and 2006. The research findings indicate that the !Composite Trade Intensity"
which is considered as a suitable alternative for trade openness, has a positive and definite
effect on economic growth of these countries in the long run. Furthermore, it is revealed that
other criteria such as !Unweighted Averages of Tariff Rates", !Terms of Trade Growth" and
!Sachs & Warner openness indicator" (1995) # as proxies for trade openness # do not have
definite and determining effects on economic growth of these countries in the long run
Analyzing Inflation with P – Star Model
No full textThis paper presents a test of the P* model using Iran quarterly data over the period 1988-2005. The basic formulation of the P* model, which is derived from the quantity theory of money, is manipulated to obtain an equation for the price gap and level of output and velocity gaps. So the P-Star model implies that inflation is determined by the level of output gap and velocity gap. On the other hand real money gap can either be used instead of price gap, as the other approach. Estimation of the dynamic relation between the inflation rate and price gap are significant and price gap’s share is about 50 percent in inflation process
Assessing the Effects of Oil Revenue Investment Policies on Macroeconomics Variables in Iran: the Stochastic Dynamic General Equilibrium Approach
No full textThe main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of oil revenue, productivity and money growth rate shocks in macro-economic variables, in the context of a DSGE model with features such as the needs of infrastructure development and the existence of public investment inefficiencies and its comparison with Permanent Income Hypothesis (PIH model). The results show that oil revenue shock has increased consumption, government current and capital spending and has reduced inflation in the short run, although has increased in the medium term due to the demand side push. The results revealed that the National Development Fund and consequently the Fund's concessional facilities to the private sector has been raised. In addition, because of the structure of the economy that was largely unproductive and the government activity in the economy would lead to crowding out effect, the oil revenue growth has little effect on the growth of non-oil producing sector. More over, each of the productivity and monetary shocks in the model has resulted the same theoretical expectations. Results also show that the implementation of fiscal policy based on PIH Scenario has better effects on macroeconomic variables in comparison with the business as usual scenario
Assessment of Macroeconomic Fluctuations and Monetary Transmission Channel in Iran; Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Approach
No full textEmpirical evidence about recent financial crisis revealed the prominent role of financial sector in transmission of different shocks to the real sector of economy. Due to the importance of banking sector behavior during business cycles and for the purpose of explaining the credit channel of monetary transmission mechanism in the economic literature, analyzing the role of banking sector during business cycles in Iran can help us to better understand how the shocks can have impacts on the economy. In this paper, we evaluated macroeconomic fluctuations and monetary transmission channels in Iranian economy using a standard New Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model that includes banking sector. The results of the study show that inclusion of banking sector in a DSGE model can improve evaluation of macroeconomic fluctuations. Also, the results of simulation show that variables related to banking sector have pro-cyclical movements in Iranian economy and these results provided enough room to explain the role of banks as financial accelerator and monetary transmission channels in Iranian economy
The Incidence of Dutch Disease in the Agriculture Sector of Iran 1367-1386
No full textThis paper examines the incidence of Dutch Disease symptoms in the agriculture sector of Iran, by applying SVAR modeling to quarterly data of twenty years span, from1367-1386 our findings do not reveal any significant relation between oil prices, and value added of agriculture sector, but indicate a significant negative effect of oil price on the relative price of agricultural products. Therefore, the incidence of Dutch Disease cannot be rejected. Although it seems that protective measures, in some extent, have been succeeded in insulating the production from harmful effects of decrease in the relative prices, but these measures, in no way will ensure the future development of the agriculture sector
