Structural Changes In Australia's Monetary Aggregates And Interest Rates, Abbas Valadkhani, Mosayeb Pahlavani Jan 2005

Structural Changes In Australia's Monetary Aggregates And Interest Rates, Abbas Valadkhani, Mosayeb Pahlavani

Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)

This paper employs all quartley time series currently available to determine endogenously the time of structural breaks for three monetary aggregates, the long and short-tem interest rates as well as the consumer price index in Australia using the ZA (Zivot and Andrews, 1992) test and the LP (Lumsdaine and Papell, 1997) test.


A Sequential Procedure For Testing Unit Roots In The Presence Of Structural Break In Time Series Data: An Application To Quarterly Data In Nepal, 1970-2003, Min B Shrestha, Khorshed Chowdhury Jan 2005

A Sequential Procedure For Testing Unit Roots In The Presence Of Structural Break In Time Series Data: An Application To Quarterly Data In Nepal, 1970-2003, Min B Shrestha, Khorshed Chowdhury

Testing for unit roots has special significance in terms of both economic theory and the interpretation of estimation result. As there are several methods available, researchers face method selection problem while conduction the unit root test on time series data i the presence of structural break.

Structural Breaks, Unit Roots And Postwar Slowdowns In Iranian Economy, Mosayeb Pahlavani, Ed Wilson

Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)

This paper employs annual time series data (1970-2003) using Perron (1997) approaches to determine endogenously the more likely time of major structural breaks in various macroeconomic variables of the Iranian economy.


Multiple Structural Breaks In Australia's Macroeconomic Data: An Application Of The Lumbsdaine And Papell Test, Abbas Valadkhani, Allan Layton, Mosayeb Pahlavani Jan 2005

This paper employs all available annual time series data to endogenously determine the timing of structural breaks for 10 macroeconomic variables in the Australian economy.


Business Profitability And Structural Change In Interwar Australia, Simon Ville, David Merrett Jan 2005

Business Profitability And Structural Change In Interwar Australia, Simon Ville, David Merrett

Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)

The Australian economy of the interwar period experienced noteworthy cyclical and secular trends. Severe cyclical fluctuations were associated with the international depression, often referred to as the ‘Great Slump’, which particularly afflicted Australia’s large traded sector, especially its cornerstone primary exporting industries. In the midst of this apparent dearth, however, came the ‘plenty’ of the initial stages of modernisation, which resulted from the broadening of the country’s economic base into new manufacturing industries. The general trends of economic activity are captured by national income data, while the expansion of particular industries has been contextualised by several authors, most notably Forster …


Structural Re-Assignment Of The Mono- And Bis-Addition Products From The Addition Reactions Of N-(Diphenylmethylene)Glycinate Esters To [60]Fullerene Under Bingel Conditions, Graham E Ball, Glenn Ashley Burley, Leila Chaker, William Hawkins, James Williams, Paul A. Keller, Stephen G. Pyne Jan 2005

Structural Re-Assignment Of The Mono- And Bis-Addition Products From The Addition Reactions Of N-(Diphenylmethylene)Glycinate Esters To [60]Fullerene Under Bingel Conditions, Graham E Ball, Glenn Ashley Burley, Leila Chaker, William Hawkins, James Williams, Paul A. Keller, Stephen G. Pyne

The addition of N-(diphenylmethylene)glycinate esters (Ph2C=NCH2CO2R) to [60]fullerene under Bingel conditions gives [60]fullerenyldihydropyrroles and not methano[60]fullerenyl iminoesters [C60C(CO2R)(N=CPh2)] as previously reported. Unequivocal evidence for the structure of C60C(CO2Et)(N=CPh2) was provided by INADEQUATE NMR studies on 13C enriched material. New mechanistic details are proposed to account for the formation of [60]fullerenyldihydropyrroles and their reductive ring-opening reactions.


Confirmation Of The Structure Of Oxystemokerrin By Single Crystal X-Ray Structural Analysis And A Proposed Biosynthesis, Pitchaya Mungkornasawakul, Hayden Matthews, Alison T. Ung, Stephen G. Pyne, Araya Jatisatienr, Wilford Lie, Brian W. Skelton, Allan H. White Jan 2005

Confirmation Of The Structure Of Oxystemokerrin By Single Crystal X-Ray Structural Analysis And A Proposed Biosynthesis, Pitchaya Mungkornasawakul, Hayden Matthews, Alison T. Ung, Stephen G. Pyne, Araya Jatisatienr, Wilford Lie, Brian W. Skelton, Allan H. White

The crystal structure of the pentacyclic Stemona alkaloid oxystemokerrin (2), isolated from the roots of Stemona kerrii, is reported, confirming the structure proposed for this compound in a contemporaneous spectroscopic study. This compound is a diastereomer of stemocurtisinol (3), whose structure we have recently reported from S. curtisii, also confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray study. These alkaloids have opposite configurations at C-4 and C-19. A possible biosynthetic pathway for the biosynthesis of 2 and 3 is proposed.
