On Determinants of Euro-Dollar Rates : An Empirical Study by DOLS

© 2015 Springer Science+Business Media New York. Characteristics of the wave disturbances of the ionospheric electron number density were measured using the Kharkov incoherent scatter radar. The disturbance generation accompanied the SURA heating of the near-Earth plasma by high-power periodic radiation. The distance between the heater and the radar was about 960 km. The possibility of generating ionospheric wave disturbances with a period of 20 to 30 min in the internal gravity wave range was confirmed. The disturbance propagation velocity was near 320–400 m/s, and the relative amplitude of the electron density variation was 1–10%. The wave disturbances appeared in the altitude range 145–235 km. Aperiodic bursts of the electron number density with a relative amplitude of up to 5–10% were detected after the first switch-ons of periodic radiation in the 30-min heating — 30-min pause regime at altitudes of 145 to 310 km. The observation results generally conform to the synchronous observation data obtained using the Kharkov vertical-sounding Doppler radar and a network of ionosondes

The Factors Influencing Economic Growth in the Sphere of Education: the Statistical Aspect

The article is aimed at researching the factors of economic growth in the education sphere of Ukraine. It is determined that the result of activities in the sphere of education, provision of educational services at the macro-economic level can be the volumes of gross added value of education, and factors of economic growth can be the number of employees and the amount of capital investments in the researched sphere. The use of the mentioned indicators is substantiated taking into account the modern system of providing information by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. Tendencies of changes in the factors of economic growth for 2007–2016 are analyzed. The model of economic growth in education with exogenous inclusion of the factor of scientific-technological progress is built. The indicators of efficiency are calculated by correlation of factors of the economic growth function in the sphere of education. The necessity to increase the volume of capital investments in the sphere of education for modernization of material and technical base, use of the newest software, forms and methods of training is substantiated
