Furthermore, the types of asymmetries provide guidance about underlying economic mechanism. This paper intends to adopt Clements and Krolzig (2003) parametric tests to deter

Schiff bases were prepared from S-benzyldithiocarbazate with 5-fluro-, 5-chloro- and 5-bromoisatin. All are potential tridentate nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur donors. They were found to be selectively active against MCF-7 cell line (Human non-metastatic mammary gland adenocarcinoma cell line). The bromide and fluoride compounds were the most active with

This paper reexamines the efficiency Chinese stock market for the period December 1990 to February 2010 by extending recent work of Qian et al (2008)2 using the nonlinear unit root test developed by Kapetanios, Shin and Snell (2003)3 and Kruse (2010)4. In doing so, the nonlinearity test of Harvey, Leybourne, and Xiao (2008)5 is used to have an insi
