Abstract

This topic has research because it comprised one of the social sectors that played a vital role in the civilization process of the Palestinian community. The properties consisted of about (500.000) dunums that spread in (80) locations from al-Jaleel mountains in the north to Jerusalem in the south, and from the Mediterranean in the west to the River Jordan in the east. Thus it occupied the first rank in the list of large land properties of the traditional Palestinian leadership during that period of time. Accordingly, the family had at its disposal huge social and economic potentials that made it one of the most active social and political forces in the modern history of Palestine.

The third avenue concentrated on the size of the properties in three basic dimensions: proliferation, area, and decline.

Abstract

The king Amr Ibn Hind ruled the state of Manathira obout 8ne and halfe decade. The poets had had a strong relationship with him. They were his drinking companions. They used to betake his court to obtain his grants or to ask him for the requirments of their own tribes. The king used to care for them. This study is aiming at throwing some light on the image of the king Amr b.Hind as reflected in the poems of his court poets. Hence, to clear out this image, three subjects of these poems will be tackled which are: eulogy,defamatory,threat and inflamatory. In conclusion the image of the king was very clear in the poems of the poets,but differs widely from one subject of the poems to another. He is noble lord in the panigrical poems. In defamatory poems,he is faithless and perfidious. In the threat and inflamatory poems, he is terrible and dreadful.

Abstract

Recently, only econometric models like GARCH and EGARCH investigated the instant effects of central banks interventions. In this paper, extended study for investigating and analyzing the dynamic effects is conducted using transfer function modeling. We investigate the effect of the Reserve Bank of Australia on the $US/$A exchange rate in the period 1983 -1997, which can be broken into four distinct phases. Equally, we investigate the changing effectiveness of daily intervention into various separate components. We rely on a new strategy implied by the transfer function modeling that outperforms the traditionally used EGARCH one. This methodology is considered a very important tool; it leads to evaluating the instant and dynamic effects in long term and for avoiding future economic shocks. As far as our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the effects of foreign exchange market interventions on the exchange rate by using the transfer function modeling.
