Labor Specialization and Endogenous Growth

Uncertainty, Optimal Specialization and Growth

We present a novel argument demonstrating that when trade is characterized by uncertainty the comparative advantages doctrine is misleading and a positive level of diversification is growth enhancing. Applying a result developed in the mathematical biological literature, we show that, in Ricardian trade model in which capital available for investment depends on previous periods returns, incompl...

Specialization Models of Network Growth

One of the most important features observed in real networks is that, as a network’s topology evolves so does the network’s ability to perform various complex tasks. To explain this, it has also been observed that as a network grows certain subnetworks begin to specialize the function(s) they perform. Here, we introduce a class of models of network growth based on this notion of specialization ...

the effect of task complexity on lexical complexity and grammatical accuracy of efl learners’ argumentative writing

بر اساس فرضیه شناخت رابینسون (2001 و 2003 و 2005) و مدل ظرفیت توجه محدود اسکهان (1998)، این تحقیق تاثیر پیچیدگی تکلیف را بر پیچیدگی واژگان و صحت گرامری نوشتار مباحثه ای 60 نفر از دانشجویان زبان انگلیسی بررسی کرد. میزان پیچیدگی تکلیف از طریق فاکتورهای پراکندگی-منابع تعیین شد. همه ی شرکت کنندگان به صورت نیمه تصادفی به یکی از سه گروه: (1) گروه موضوع، (2) گروه موضوع + اندیشه و (3) گروه موضوع + اندی...
