  • Electricity consumption and economic growth, the case of Lebanon 
    Dah, Abdallah; Abosedra, Salah; Ghosh, Sajal (2016-05-19)
    In this paper we investigate the causal relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth for Lebanon, using monthly data for Lebanon covering the period January 1995 to December 2005. Empirical results of ...
  • New challenges and opportunities of Continuing Education Programs in Lebanon 
    Majdalani, Michel (2016-05-17)
    By establishing regional continuing education centers across Lebanon, a country characterized as a fragile state with an unstable political environment, a private university’s continuing education (CE) unit faces new ...
  • The business cycle in postwar Lebanon 
    Dibeh, Ghassan (2016-05-17)
    The postwar business cycle in Lebanon was dominated by the exchange rate based stabilization (ERBS) program implemented by the successive postwar governments. In the early period 1993–2002, a boom-bust dynamics was generated ...
  • Contagion effects in a chartist–fundamentalist model with time delays 
    Dibeh, Ghassan (2016-05-17)
    In this paper two models of speculative markets are developed to study the effects of feedback mechanisms in financial markets. In the first model, a crash market model couples a linear chartist–fundamentalist model with ...
  • Target zone dynamics where the fundamental follows a SDE with periodic forcing 
    Dibeh, Ghassan (2016-05-17)
    This paper investigates exchange rate and reserves dynamics in a target zone where the fundamental follows a stochastic differential equation with a periodic forcing function. Solutions to the model show that the target ...
  • Speculative dynamics in a time-delay model of asset prices 
    Dibeh, Ghassan (2016-05-19)
    In this paper, a time-delay model of speculative asset markets is developed to investigate the effect of time delays on the dynamics of asset prices. The basic model investigates the effect of time delays in the chartists ...
  • A Kaleckian model of business cycle synchronization 
    Dibeh, Ghassan (2016-05-17)
    A non-linear, two-country Kaleckian model of the business cycle was developed for investigating business cycle synchronization. The model includes three components: a country-specific business cycle-generating equation, a ...
  • The Political Economy of Inflation and Currency Depreciation in Lebanon, 1984-92 
    Dibeh, Ghassan (2016-05-17)
  • Time Delays and Business Cycles 
    Dibeh, Ghassan (2016-05-17)
    This paper develops a Marxian model of the business cycle based on Hilferding's theory of disproportionality in capital accumulation in a two-sector economy. The disproportionality arises from the existence of time delays ...
  • A classical-Keynesian model of macroeconomic fluctuations 
    Dibeh, Ghassan (2016-05-17)
    The purpose of this paper is to construct a simple model of the capitalist economy that generates business cycles in an endogenous manner. Embedded relationships that permeate the interaction modes of economic agents are ...
  • Decomposition method for solving a nonlinear business cycle model 
    Dibeh, Ghassan; Deeba, Elias; Khuri, Suheil; Xie, Shishen (2016-05-17)
    In this paper we present a Kaleckian-type model of a business cycle based on a nonlinear delay differential equation. A numerical algorithm based on a decomposition scheme is implemented for the approximate solution of the ...
  • An algorithm for solving bond pricing problem 
    Dibeh, Ghassan; Deeba, Elias; Xiea, Shishen (2016-05-17)
    The nonlinear bond pricing problem has been extensively studied in the literature. Since an analytical solution is not readily available, we will seek to find an approximate solution. We will present a decomposition method, ...
  • Comparative cost analysis of Lebanon's hospitality services 
    Ladki, Said M. (2016-05-17)
    A study which compares the costs of hospitality services in Lebanon versus its neighbouring tourism rival nations; analyses the causes of such high costs; and offers suggestions leading to a halt in price increase or ...
  • The restaurant industry 
    Ladki, Said M.; Beasley, John J. (2016-05-17)

    Ladki, Said M.; El Meouchi, Patrick (2016-04-27)
    This research investigates the relationships between illegally built resorts along Lebanon’s shoreline and beach goers’ right to access public beaches for free. The study was conducted by students at the Lebanese ...
  • Internationalisation of menus 
    Ladki, Said M.; Tamer, Georges (2016-04-27)
    This study measures Lebanese consumer satisfaction and dining experiences at international restaurants or restaurants that offer international food items. Specifically, the study identifies which international food items ...
