  • Evidence on managerial entrenchment effects on firm value 
    Ben Sita, Bernard; Dah, Abdallah M.; Hallak, Waddah; SOB; 200603722; 198929040; Department of Economics (ECON); bernard.bensita@lau.edu.lb; aadah@lau.edu.lb
    We investigate managerial entrenchment effects on firm value. Conditioning investment and Research and Development (R&D) spending on a managerial entrenchment indicator, we find that under managerial entrenchment investment ...
  • Short and Long-run Budgetary Relationships 
    Ben Sita, Bernard; Dah, Abdallah; Abosedra, Salah; SOB; 200603722; 198929040; Department of Economics (ECON); bernard.bensita@lau.edu.lb; aadah@lau.edu.lb
    We empirically estimate the short- and the long-run effects of fiscal policy on the Lebanese economy. Such estimates should be valuable in shaping the administrative reforms of the budgetary process in Lebanon where the ...

  • Demand For Electricity In Lebanon 
    Dah, Abdallah; Abosedra, Salah; Ghosh, Sajal; SOB; 198929040; Department of Economics (ECON); aadah@lau.edu.lb
    This paper estimates the demand for electricity in Lebanon by employing three modeling techniques namely OLS, ARIMA and exponential smoothing for the time span January 1995 to December 2005. In- sample forecasts reveal ...
  • Electricity consumption and economic growth, the case of Lebanon 
    Dah, Abdallah; Abosedra, Salah; Ghosh, Sajal; SOB; 198929040; Department of Economics (ECON); aadah@lau.edu.lb
    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; SOB; 200105110; Department of Finance and Accounting (FINA); michel.majdalani@lau.edu.lb

  • The business cycle in postwar Lebanon 
    Dibeh, Ghassan; SOB; 199490150; Department of Economics (ECON); gdibeh@lau.edu.lb
    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; SOB; 199490150; Department of Economics (ECON); gdibeh@lau.edu.lb
    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; SOB; 199490150; Department of Economics (ECON); gdibeh@lau.edu.lb
    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; SOB; 199490150; Department of Economics (ECON); gdibeh@lau.edu.lb
    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; SOB; 199490150; Department of Economics (ECON); gdibeh@lau.edu.lb
    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; SOB; 199490150; Department of Economics (ECON); gdibeh@lau.edu.lb
  • Time Delays and Business Cycles

    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; SOB; 199490150; Department of Economics (ECON); gdibeh@lau.edu.lb
    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 ...
