In this study, we investigate the long run and causality relationship between tourism receipts and economic growth in 17 MENA selected countries during 1995-2007. We incorporate exchange rate as an intermittent variable in a bivariate setting between tourism receipts and economic growth. Using...

This study applied panel unit root, panel co-integration and panel causality tests to distinguish the position of short run and long run causality among foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade in a panel of 16 advanced European countries over the period 1976-2008, 528 observations were...

The impact of financial repression on financial depth is one of important issues for monetary authorities. Hence, this study examines the empirical relationship between financial repression and financial depth based on McKinnon-Shaw hypothesis in two set of countries, Including 43 lower middle...

Human Resource Planning (HRP) plays a pivotal role in organizations through providing the balance between supply and demand for qualified human resources; in times of crisis, especially those cases with large number of fatalities, HRP will become even more important. In the case of Bam...

In this study, a mathematical model of an ice thermal energy storage (ITES) system for gas turbine cycle inlet air cooling is developed and thermal, economic, and environmental (emissions cost) analyses have been applied to the model. While taking into account conflicting thermodynamic and...

This article proposes a novel hybrid system, integrating high temperature MCFC-GT (molten carbonate fuel cell-gas turbine) and ORC (organic Rankine cycle), which provides the possibility to achieve high electrical and exergetic efficiencies owing to the subsequent electrical power output in the...
