A new quadratic asymmetric error correction model: does size matter? by Ayman Mnasri (16932486)

“…Although our estimation of the Okun’s Law for the USA confirms previous findings on the direction of the sign asymmetry, its reveals that the magnitude of the impact of economic downturns on unemployment decreases faster than the impact of upturns. Forecasting results show that our new model performs better than NARDL.…”

Sustainable energy-water-food nexus integration and optimisation in eco-industrial parks by Jamileh Fouladi (16932549)
