However, regardless of the factors that would affect the decision, if happened that all parents in the country, decided to have children below the replacement level, then this become a national matter. We examine the impact of government spending on child cash allowances and spending on child care and early education in order to promote fertility. We consider an overlapping generation model with endogenous fertility and human capital formation with Total Intrinsic Motivation. The results show that in addition to the effect of government spending on child care and early education, the Total Intrinsic Motivation also plays an important role to promote fertility decision. On the other hand, child cash allowances are ineffective in promoting fertility.

Furthermore, small improvements to credit scoring systems and default forecasting can support huge profits. Accordingly, banks and financial institutions have a high interest in any changes. The literature shows that the use of feature selection techniques can reduce the dimensionality problems in most credit risk datasets, and, thus, improve the performance of the credit risk model. Many other works also indicated that various classification approaches would also affect the performance of the credit risk assessment modelling. In this research, based on the new proposed framework, we investigated the effect of various filter-based feature selection techniques with various classification approaches, namely, single and ensemble classifiers, on three credit datasets (German, Australian, and Japanese credit risk datasets) with the aim of improvin...

Macroeconomic policy coordination and the fi eld of micro-foundation of the macroeconomic theory ... more Macroeconomic policy coordination and the fi eld of micro-foundation of the macroeconomic theory have been riddled with the contest of claimed effi cacy between the Keynesian school and the monetarist school. Keynesianism upheld the predominance of fi scalism (spending) in economic stabilization on the one side. Friedman’s monetarist theory vouched for the same on the other side. As a result of the monetary and fi scal contest between the two schools a convergence between them could not be att ained. Such a divide is similar in economic science as it has been a fi asco thus far in the physical sciences between Quantum Mechanics explaining the small world phenomenon, and Relativity Physics explaining the large world phenomenon. The nonhomogenous views of a unique reality in economics, as in science, have defied the unifi cation of theories and application for the greater objective of wellbeing in an embedded social economy, beyond sheer address of the stabilization question. Our pape...
