Predicting energy Consumption using artificial neural networks: a case study of the UAE
Published in: Electronic Journal of Applied Statistical Analysis
May 30, 2018
Predicting energy consumption is very important for improving resource planning and for more efficient production. This study uses artificial neural network (ANN) models to predict energy consumption in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The multilayer perceptron model (MLP) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) were used for this purpose. Historical input and output data related to the long-term energy consumption in the UAE were used for training, validation, and testing. The developed neural network ...

Development of a techno-humanist model for e-health adoption of innovative technology
Published in: International Journal of Medical Informatics
May 17, 2018
Background and Purpose: After investing billions of dollars in an integrated Electronic Medical Records (physicians) and Personal Health Records (patients) system to allow both parties to manage and communicate through e-health innovative technologies, Canada is still making slow adoption progress. In an attempt to bridge the human and technological perspectives by developing and testing a holistic model, this study purports to predict patients’ behavioral intentions to use e-health application...

The impact of public expenditures on real exchange rate dynamics in Algeria
Published in: Global Business and Economics Review
May 15, 2018
The objective of this study is to examine the role of government spending in economic diversification process of Algeria. This is achieved by investigating the impact of the government spending on the real exchange rate. This follows on works done on the topic of Dutch disease. The outcome of this study shows that although the relationship oscillates over time, the increase of the government spending leads to the depreciation of the RER. The findings underpin interesting implications with regar...
Causality between economic growth and investment in the United Arab Emirates
Published in: International Journal of Economics and Business Research, 2018, Vol 15, No 4
May 08, 2018
The study aims to work out the exact pattern of causality between economic growth rate and each of investment categories in the United Arab Emirates. Causality is examined by numerous researchers. However, few have studied the relationship between growth and investment at macroeconomic level. To the best of my knowledge no one investigates this topic in the UAE. We demonstrate long-term effects of the investment shares in non-oil gross domestic product on economic growth using cointegration and...
