Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Asymmetry is a key feature to understand the different behavior of expansions and recessions, and it provides a stylized fact that business cycle models should help to explain. Furthermore, the types of asymmetries provide guidance about underlying economic mechanism. In this paper, we test for three types of asymmetry of business cycle: steepness,

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In the title compound, C11H14N2O5, the molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H� � �O hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) ring motif. The nitro group is twisted slightly from the attached benzene ring, forming a dihedral angle of 5.2 (2)�. In the crystal packing, intermolecular O—H� � �O and C—H� � �O
