Exchange Rate Pass-Through to Import and Consumer Prices: Evidence from Ethiopia
Creators: name: Berga, Helen
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2012

description: Exchange Rate Pass-Through to Import and Consumer Prices: Evidence from Ethiopia Helen Berga Addis Ababa University, 2012 The fact that Ethiopia adopted managed floating exchange rate policy since 1992 as well as various trade reform measures taken makes the country's import and consumer prices susceptible to the effects of exchange rate movements. Thus, the study investigates the degree of ERPT and its asymmetry to import and consumer prices in Ethiopia between 1991/92 and 2010/11 using two types of VAR models (SVAR and CVAR). Based on SVAR analysis the paper found that ERPT in Ethiopia during the period under review is moderate, significant and persistent in the case of import price and low and short lived in the case of consumer prices. The cointegration analysis shows incomplete ERPT to import price and absence of pass-through to consumer price in the long run. The result obtained from the asymmetric model suggests that ERPT to import prices is higher in periods of Birr depreciation than appreciation. Also, pass-through to import prices is found to be higher in periods of small changes than large changes in the exchange rate. The study also tries to get pass-through estimates in different inflation environments in order to test Taylor's hypothesis. However, no evidence is found which supports the hypothesis in the case of Ethiopia. The fact that ERPT was found to be incomplete has useful implication to policymakers, especially in the design and implementation of exchange rate and monetary policy.

description: Information-theoretic definitions for the noise associated with a quantum measurement and the corresponding disturbance to the state of the system have recently been introduced [F. Buscemi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 050401 (2014)]. These definitions are invariant under relabelling of measurement outcomes, and lend themselves readily to the formulation of state-independent uncertainty relations both for the joint estimate of observables (noise-noise relations) and the noise-disturbance tradeoff. Here we derive such relations for incompatible qubit observables, which we prove to be tight in the case of joint estimates, and present progress towards fully characterising the noise-disturbance tradeoff. In doing so, we show that the set of obtainable noise-noise values for such observables is convex, whereas the conjectured form for the set of obtainable noise-disturbance values is not. Furthermore, projective measurements are not optimal with respect to the joint-measurement noise or noise-disturbance tradeoffs. Interestingly, it seems that four-outcome measurements are needed in the former case, whereas three-outcome measurements are optimal in the latter.

Economy wide Impact of Direct Tax Reform in Ethiopia: A Recursive Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Analysis
Creators: name: Belayneh, Asmare
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Since at the end of 2016, employment income tax (PIT), rental income tax and corporate income tax has been undergone a policy reform in Ethiopia. With the tax policy reforms in 2016, the rates of direct tax bracket on average reduced by 40%. In this study, we aim to analyze the effects of direct tax reductions on macroeconomic variables, income and expenditures of the government and income distribution and welfare of households. Since a major tax policy change can have considerable impacts on the economic agents, the economic impacts of these changes should be evaluated by taking economy-wide effects into account. For this study, the researcher employed a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium model developed by IFPRI. The impact of the direct tax reform is different among households and factors. For households, a decrease in the direct tax causes to a higher disposable incomes, especially for urban non-poor households that involve in the labor market. Benefits to rural poor households were lower; because their income is depend on subsistence farming. Due to a reduction in the import and GDP reduction relative to the baseline, households affected by the rise in consumption prices, but for rural and urban non-poor households the disposable income increment out ways the price increment and thus experiencing improvements in their consumption patterns, as a result, their welfare is improved. The reduction in the direct tax creates income variation among factors of production. The sectoral analysis shows that the manufacturing sector tended to benefit more from the reforms than other sectors. Therefore, for countries like Ethiopia, which collects tax revenue below their capacity and unable to cover all the expenditures by their own capacity; increasing the tax base is a good policy measure.

description: We study the inflation via logarithmic entropy-corrected holographic dark energy LECHDE model with future event horizon, particle horizon and Hubble horizon cut-offs, and compare the results with those of obtained in the study of inflation by holographic dark energy HDE model. In comparison, the spectrum of primordial scalar power spectrum in the LECHDE model becomes redder than the spectrum in HDE model. Moreover, the consistency with the observational data in LECHDE model of inflation, constrains the reheating temperature and Hubble parameter by one parameter of holographic dark energy and two new parameters of logarithmic corrections.

The Nexuses Between Public Investment, Private Investment, Trade Opennes And Economic Growth in Ethiopia: Co-Integrated VAR Approach
Creators: name: Tadesse, Alemnesh
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2012

description: This paper poses and tries to answer one major question: is there a nexus between public investment, private investment, trade openness and economic growth in Ethiopia? The study uses the Co-integrated VAR approach and compared to previous researchers on the topic, this study estimated investment, trade openness and growth nexus together for the period 1970-2009. There are four major findings. First, there is a strong evidence that trade openness, public investment and private investment have complementing effect on long run economic growth of the country. Second, trade openness and economic growth also complements private investment, but trade openness reduces public investment, while economic growth and private investment encourages expansion of public investment. Third, there is evidence of bi directional causality between real GDP, private investment and public investment. Fourth, the impulse response analysis showed that economic growth in Ethiopia exhibits quicker transitory pattern to the long run time path, while public investment and private investment exhibits relatively slower transitory pattern to the long run time path. Overall, the major policy implication of this study is that, given the long run positive impact of trade openness on private investment and economic growth, and as well as the long run positive impact of private investment on public investment and economic growth, it will be natural to think of supplementary reforms

description: We present the reduction of the correlation functions of the Ising model on the anisotropic square lattice to complete elliptic integrals of the first, second and third kind, the extension of Kramers-Wannier duality to anisotropic correlation functions, and the linear differential equations for these anisotropic correlations. More precisely, we show that the anisotropic correlation functions are homogeneous polynomials of the complete elliptic integrals of the first, second and third kind. We give the exact dual transformation matching the correlation functions and the dual correlation functions. We show that the linear differential operators annihilating the general two-point correlation functions are factorised in a very simple way, in operators of decreasing orders.

Analyzing Economy Wide-Impact of Technological Shock on Agricultural Sector in Ethiopia Using DCGE Model: Evidence from Panel Data Analysis
Creators: name: Dagmawe, Menelek
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: This study tries to address the economy wide impact of technological shock on agricultural sector. In doing so, we employ a Sequential Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model. We also used econometric model i.e. panel data analysis to estimate the value of agricultural TFP of Ethiopia. For these purpose, we utilized the data of 2009/10 SAM of EDRI (Ethiopian Development Research Institute), different years of agricultural sample surveys of CSA, ministry of agriculture, WB, IMF and UNCTAD data. The estimation results panel data of this study shows that fertilizer usage, research & development, farmer training & extension have positive impact on agricultural TFP. But pesticide, irrigation and trade openness have negative impact on agricultural TFP. Despite the fact, in order to investigate the economy wide impact of agricultural TFP (technology) shock, three simulations were made turn by turn, which is induced agricultural TFP by 2.8%( simulation-1), 4.7%( simulation-2) and 5.7%( simulation-3). The results of all simulations were shows a considerable improvement on over all macroeconomics variables, sectorial performance, households income& expenditure, factor income and finally on the welfare of the households. At the end of the day to achieve the above results the paper were recommended the government and policy maker:- first the government gives more emphasis to enhancing agricultural total factor productivity; second, government give a special attention for determinants that driving agricultural total factor productivity (i.e. fertilizer usage, research & development, farmer training & extension) and finally, increasing the productivity of agricultural sector through improving TFP (technology) were prime and better mechanism rather than capital accumulation or land expansion.

description: While it has been pointed out that the chiral symmetry, which is important for the Dirac fermions in graphene, can be generalized to tilted Dirac fermions as in organic metals, such a generalized symmetry was so far defined only for a continuous low-energy Hamiltonian. Here we show that the generalized chiral symmetry can be rigorously defined for lattice fermions as well. A key concept is a continuous "algebraic deformation" of Hamiltonians, which generates lattice models with the generalized chiral symmetry from those with the conventional chiral symmetry. This enables us to explicitly express zero modes of the deformed Hamiltonian in terms of that of the original Hamiltonian. Another virtue is that the deformation can be extended to non-uniform systems, such as fermion-vortex systems and disordered systems. Application to fermion vortices in a deformed system shows how the zero modes for the conventional Dirac fermions with vortices can be extended to the tilted case.

This binary spin-mixture presents the important properties of being, at the same time, fully miscible and rid of the limit set by buoyancy. It is also characterized by a huge enhancement of the SD polarizability and by the consequent softening of the frequency of the SD oscillation, due to the vicinity to the transition to the immiscible phase. The experimental data are successfully compared with the predictions of theory.

description: We investigate dark matter in a constrained $E_6$ inspired supersymmetric model with an exact custodial symmetry and compare with the CMSSM. The breakdown of $E_6$ leads to an additional $U(1)_N$ symmetry and a discrete matter parity. The custodial and matter symmetries imply there are two stable dark matter candidates, though one may be extremely light and contribute negligibly to the relic density. We demonstrate that a predominantly Higgsino, or mixed bino-Higgsino, neutralino can account for all of the relic abundance of dark matter, while fitting a 125 GeV SM-like Higgs and evading LHC limits on new states. However we show that the recent LUX 2016 limit on direct detection places severe constraints on the mixed bino-Higgsino scenarios that explain all of the dark matter. Nonetheless we still reveal interesting scenarios where the gluino, neutralino and chargino are light and discoverable at the LHC, but the full relic abundance is not accounted for. At the same time we also show that there is a huge volume of parameter space, with a predominantly Higgsino dark matter candidate that explains all the relic abundance, that will be discoverable with XENON1T. Finally we demonstrate that for the $E_6$ inspired model the exotic leptoquarks could still be light and within range of future LHC searches.

description: Bell inequalities can be studied both as constraints in the space of probability distributions and as expectation values of multipartite operators. The latter approach is particularly useful when considering outcomes as eigenvalues of unitary operators. This brings the possibility of exploiting the complex structure of the coefficients in the Bell operators. We investigate this avenue of though in the known case of two outcomes, and find new Bell inequalities for the cases of three outcomes and $n=3,4,5$ and $6$ parties. We find their corresponding classical bounds and their maximum violation in the case of qutrits. We further propose a novel way to generate Bell inequalities based on a mapping from maximally entangled states to Bell operators and produce examples for different outcomes and number of parties.

description: The present study investigates the expansion of the interpretive vision framework of motivations in educational environments with specific reference to foreign language learning. In the beginning differences in mother tongue, second and foreign language are presented. A review of the institutional framework of foreign languages in Greece is also amalysed. Furthermore, some basic theories of motivation are examined and how motivations are included in a foreign language course. Afterwards, a primary quantitative research is carried out using a structured questionnaire that was distributed to students of five public high schools in the Prefecture of Thessaloniki after a draw. A total of 316 students participated in the research. The program that was chosen for the statistical processing of the data, was the SPSS 28.0.1 Program which allows the statistical processing and grouping of the variables. The main findings showed that the majority of students are mainly motivated by external motivations. Motivational and positive is that the attitudes are also created and the decisive role of the teacher is highlighted. Concluding the research generally raises concerns, gives directions, and opens horizons for further research through classroom observation and interviews.

description: Globally as well as in Ethiopia the tanning industries are under a high pressure from strict legislation articulated for the purpose of protecting and preserving the environment. In the current situation of Ethiopia this industry is viewed from two perspectives; being an important economic activity and the most environment polluting industry. In order to operate within environmentally compatible limits and sustain the realization of Agriculture Development Led Industrialization (ADLI), the current development strategy of Ethiopia, with respect to the tanning industry, some sort of solutions should come out that mitigate the adverse effect of the conventional leather processing methods particularly that of lime-sulphide unhairing operation. This study deals with dehairing enzyme production as green technology alternative for the conventional unhairing practice. The B.subtilis strain was obtained from Department of Biotechnology, CLRI, sub-cultured and characterized for its growth and dehairing protease production in terms of pH, temperature, incubation time and growth and production media composition. The combined effects of pH and temperature on protease production also investigated and they were found to have high interactive effect. Once the culture conditions for production were studied and known, the alkaline protease was produced in a pilot scale fermenter by submerged fermentation using soy bean flour media at optimal conditions of pH 6.5, temperature 310C and incubation period of 27 hours. The final protease product was recovered, partially purified and stabilized by primary downstream processing such as crude enzyme formulation, ammonium sulphate precipitation, ultrafiltration and spray drying. The use of the protease products of each technique on sheep skins and cow hide resulted in a highly promising hair removal efficiency that can really compete with lime-sulphide chemical unhairing process.

description: Combining information from weak sources, such as known pulsars, for gravitational wave detection, is an attractive approach to improve detection efficiency. We propose an optimal statistic for a general ensemble of signals and apply it to an ensemble of known pulsars. Our method combines $\mathcal F$-statistic values from individual pulsars using weights proportional to each pulsar's expected optimal signal-to-noise ratio to improve the detection efficiency. We also point out that to detect at least one pulsar within an ensemble, different thresholds should be designed for each source based on the expected signal strength. The performance of our proposed detection statistic is demonstrated using simulated sources, with the assumption that all pulsars' ellipticities belong to a common (yet unknown) distribution. Comparing with an equal-weight strategy and with individual source approaches, we show that the weighted-combination of all known pulsars, where weights are assigned based on the pulsars' known information, such as sky location, frequency and distance, as well as the detector sensitivity, always provides a more sensitive detection statistic.

description: The objective of this study is to investigate the determinants of export performance and employment of labor in large and medium scale manufacturing industry of Ethiopia using a time series data from 1978/79 to 2012/13. In this study, effort has been made to identify the long run and short run determinants of export performance and labor employment in large and medium scale manufacturing industry of Ethiopia using an ARDL bounds testing approach and ECM to capture both long run and short run relationships. The estimated results for the determinants of export performance revealed that the market size of the home economy, Europe and domestic infrastructure are positive and statistically significant determinants of export, while the market size of Africa (excluding Ethiopia) and real effective exchange rates (REER) have a negative impact on export of large and medium scale manufacturing industry of Ethiopia. But the market size of the United States of America and the Far East are found statistically insignificant. However, in the short run, the market size of the United States of America found statistically significant which goes with the African Growth opportunity act though the market size of Far East still insignificant. The market size of the home economy and domestic infrastructure are positively significant not only in the long run, but also in the short run and the market size of Africa and REER are also statistically insignificant in the short run. The speed of adjustment has the value 0.7959 with a negative sign, which showed the convergence of the export model towards its long run equilibrium. As for the, determinants of labor employment, the result shows that the skills of employee's, export and real lending interest rate are both statistically significant in the short and long run, while the real wage rate has a significant effect only in the short run. Furthermore, both the value added per person engaged, a measure of labor productivity, and efficiency are statistically insignificant both in the long run and short run. The speed of adjustment in the employment model is 0.4554. Finally, the major policy implication of this study is, prioritizing investments to words capital goods and enhancing skill capacity of workers through short and long term trainings by the manufacturers for the employee and empowers the managers

description: We analyze time-discrete and continuous `fractional' random walks on undirected regular networks with special focus on cubic periodic lattices in $n=1,2,3,..$ dimensions. The fractional random walk dynamics is governed by a master equation involving {\it fractional} powers of Laplacian matrices $L^{\fracα{2}}$}where $α=2$ recovers the normal walk. First we demonstrate that the interval $0

description: Είναι αναμφισβήτητα ένα πολυσυζητημένο θέμα το θέμα της μετανάστευσης. Η παρούσα εργασία προσεγγίζει θεωρητικά το θέμα και βρίσκει εφαρμογές της θεωρίας στο παράδειγμα τριών γυναικών συγγραφέων. Το θεωρητικό μέρος της εργασίας βασίζεται στο βιβλίο της Nancy L. Green, Οι δρόμοι της μετανάστευσης. Σύγχρονες Θεωρητικές Προσεγγίσεις όπου αναλύεται η συγκριτική προσέγγιση. Στη συνέχεια παρατίθεται η μεθοδολογία με βάση την οποία αναλύεται το θέμα της μετανάστευσης στα λογοτεχνικά βιβλία: Ο Αμερικάνος της Μαρίας Μαυρίκου, Οι κόρες Νίκα της Μόνικας Σαβουλέσκου Βουδούρη και οι Δενδρίτες της Κάλλιας Παπαδάκη. Το δεύτερο μέρος της εργασίας αποτελεί την ανάλυση αυτών των λογοτεχνικών βιβλίων εξετάζοντας ζητήματα φύλου, κοινωνικά χαρακτηριστικά, τον βαθμό αφομοίωσης των μεταναστών, με έμφαση στη μετανάστευση στις ΗΠΑ στην οποία αναφέρονται τα δύο από τα τρία βιβλία και την παρουσία των γυναικών στη μετανάστευση στο τρίτο βιβλίου. Τέλος, η εργασία ολοκληρώνεται με τον επίλογο στον οποίο επιβεβαιώνεται η ανταπόκριση της συγκριτικής προσέγγισης και του θεωρητικού μοντέλου στη σύγχρονη λογοτεχνία.
description: The topic of immigration is undoubtedly a much-discussed topic. This paper approaches the topic theoretically and finds applications of the theory in the example of three female writers. The theoretical part of the work is based on Nancy L. Green's book, Repenser les migrations. Approches théoriques contemporaines where the comparative approach is analyzed. Continuing, the methodology is presented, based on which the subject of immigration through the literary books: Ο Amerikanos by Maria Mavrikou, Οi Kores Nika by Monica Savoulescu Voudouris and The Dendrites by Kallia Papadakis, is analyzed. The second part of the paper is the analysis of these literary books by examining gender issues, social characteristics as well as the degree of assimilation of immigrants, with an emphasis on immigration to the USA, which is mentioned in two of the three books and the presence of women in immigration in the third book. Finally, the paper concludes with the epilogue, in which the response of the comparative approach and the theoretical model of modern literature is confirmed.

description: Recent experiments have uncovered evidence of the strongly coupled nature of the graphene: the Wiedemann-Franz law is violated by up to a factor of 20 near the charge neutral point. We describe this strongly-coupled plasma by a holographic model in which there are two distinct conserved U(1) currents. We find that our analytic results for the transport coefficients for two current model have a significantly improved match to the density dependence of the experimental data than the models with only one current. The additive structure in the transports coefficients plays an important role. We also suggest the origin of the two currents.

description: In recent years researchers and practitioners have been moving away from “one-size-fits-all” approaches towards a personalized learning experience. In light of the technological advancements of the past few decades, e-learning has also been gaining popularity among learners. In fact, numerous e-learning platforms have developed a personalized learning syllabus that takes into consideration students’ interests, needs and goals. This paper dives into the personalized learning approach to English as a foreign language through investigating its origins, features and key components. Its aim is to investigate the practices of teachers within a personalized learning digital classroom as well as their perspectives towards the personalized syllabus design. A questionnaire based on the features and elements of personalized learning was used to collect data from 31 teachers of Likeshuo, an e-learning platform for English as a foreign language based in China. The results of the study indicated that the syllabus has a number of constraints according to teachers’ views. As far as teachers’ practices in the personalized learning classroom are concerned, they reported that they personalize the learning experience for students in line with various factors.
description: Τα τελευταία χρόνια ερευνητές και επαγγελματίες έχουν απομακρυνθεί από τις προσεγγίσεις «ενιαίου μεγέθους για όλους», προς μια εξατομικευμένη εμπειρία μάθησης. Επιπλέον υπό το φως των τεχνολογικών προόδων των τελευταίων δεκαετιών, η ηλεκτρονική μάθηση έχει κερδίσει δημοτικότητα μεταξύ των μαθητών. Στην πραγματικότητα, πολλές πλατφόρμες ηλεκτρονικής μάθησης έχουν αναπτύξει ένα εξατομικευμένο πρόγραμμα μάθησης που λαμβάνει υπόψη τα ενδιαφέροντα, τις ανάγκες και τους στόχους των μαθητών. Αυτή η διατριβή εξετάζει την εξατομικευμένη προσέγγιση εκμάθησης της Αγγλικής ως ξένης γλώσσας διερευνώντας την προέλευση, τα χαρακτηριστικά και τα βασικά στοιχεία της. Στόχος της είναι να διερευνήσει τις πρακτικές των εκπαιδευτικών σε μια εξατομικευμένη ψηφιακή τάξη, καθώς και τις προοπτικές τους για τον εξατομικευμένο σχεδιασμό του αναλυτικού προγράμματος. Ένα ερωτηματολόγιο βασισμένο στα χαρακτηριστικά και τα στοιχεία της εξατομικευμένης μάθησης χρησιμοποιήθηκε για τη συλλογή δεδομένων από 31 δασκάλους της Likeshuo, μιας πλατφόρμας ηλεκτρονικής εκμάθησης για τα αγγλικά ως ξένη γλώσσα με έδρα την Κίνα. Τα αποτελέσματα της μελέτης έδειξαν ότι το αναλυτικό πρόγραμμα έχει έναν αριθμό περιορισμών σύμφωνα με τις απόψεις των εκπαιδευτικών. Όσον αφορά τις πρακτικές των δασκάλων στην τάξη, οι ίδιοι ανέφεραν ότι εξατομικεύουν τη μαθησιακή εμπειρία για τους μαθητές σύμφωνα με διάφορους παράγοντες.
Are "Non-functional" Requirements really Non-functional?

description: Non-functional requirements (NFRs) are commonly distinguished from functional requirements by differentiating how the system shall do something in contrast to what the system shall do. This distinction is not only prevalent in research, but also influences how requirements are handled in practice. NFRs are usually documented separately from functional requirements, without quantitative measures, and with relatively vague descriptions. As a result, they remain difficult to analyze and test. Several authors argue, however, that many so-called NFRs actually describe behavioral properties and may be treated the same way as functional requirements. In this paper, we empirically investigate this point of view and aim to increase our understanding on the nature of NFRs addressing system properties. We report on the classification of 530 NFRs extracted from 11 industrial requirements specifications and analyze to which extent these NFRs describe system behavior. Our results suggest that most "non-functional" requirements are not non-functional as they describe behavior of a system. Consequently, we argue that many so-called NFRs can be handled similarly to functional requirements.

description: Additional file 4: Fig S1. Experimental Timeline for Short-Term Cuprizone Exposure. 6 weeks old mice were habituated to the control diet (w/o cuprizone) for 7 days (− 7 to 0 days) before administration of the cuprizone-containing diet. FTY720 was administered intraperitoneally 4, 5 and 6 days after administration of the cuprizone containing diet. All mice were sacrificed on day 7. All experiments were performed in four groups: Cont-Veh, Cont-FTY720, CUP-Veh, CUP-FTY. Fig S2. Effects of FTY720 on short-term spatial memory in cuprizone-exposed mice.

Hypothesis of FTY720 mechanism of action in psychosis model mice. Short-term cuprizone exposure does not cause prominent demyelination, but specifically causes damage to oligodendrocytes. Such damage results in activation of glial populations including microglia, triggering the release of proinflammatory cytokines. Extracellular release of proinflammatory cytokines induces neuronal dysfunction and contributes to behavioral disorders such as psychosis. FTY720 administration inhibits microglial activation and regulates pro-inflammatory cytokine release, reduces neuronal damage, and improves psychosis-like behavior.
Trade Liberalization and Industrial Growth in Ethiopia: A Co-integration Analysis

description: This paper studies the relation between trade policies and economic growth in Ethiopia. The 'human capital model of endogenous growth' developed by Lucas (1988) which takes labor, capital, and education as secondary school enrollment. The Human capital model is augmented with trade liberalization variables of export/GDP and import duty. In the empirical investigation of the aggregate growth function of industrial value added in Ethiopia, cointegration and error correction modeling approaches have been applied to measure the long run and short run determinants of industrial value added. The data of Ethiopia which covers a period of 1971 to 2005 suggest that there is a long run relationship between the industrial value added and its determinant capital, labor, high school enrollment ratio of ratio of real export to GDP, and import duty collection. The short-term dynamics is also estimated using an error correction model (ECM). The estimate shows that all variables including real capital formation, the labor force, human capital, industrial import tariff and ratio of real exports to GDP have emerged as insignificant determinants of industrial value added function in Ethiopia. The policy implication is government should promote trade liberalization policy.
