A Multi-Sectoral Balance-of-Payments-Constrained Growth Model with Sectoral Heterogeneity: International Competition, Productivity Dynamics, and Economic Growth

This study builds a multi-sectoral balance-of-payments constrained growth model that incorporates some structural heterogeneity between sectors and countries, such as differences in labor productivity, price competition, share of exports and imports, and the quality of commodities. The model in the current paper generates more comprehensive results than Thirlwall (1979), Blecker (1998), and Ara...

Economic Development and Sectoral Unions in China

Drawing on qualitative fieldwork in China’s Guangdong and Zhejiang Provinces, the author asks how postsocialist unions respond to worker unrest and why the development of sectoral-level bargaining has been uneven in different regions of China. While Zhejiang has had relative success in establishing the organizational infrastructure for sectoral bargaining, Guangdong has had little success despi...

Computer Aided Molecular Modeling Of Membrane Metalloprotease

Molecular modeling is a set of computational techniques for construction of 3D structure of a protein especially membrane bound proteins whose structures can not be elucidated using experimental techniques. These techniques has been applied in the study of membrane metalloproteases for comparing wild and mutated enzymes, docking inhibitors in the catalytic site and examination of binding pocket...

Numerical modeling of economic uncertainty

Representation and modeling of economic uncertainty is addressed by different modeling methods, namely stochastic variables and probabilities, interval analysis, and fuzzy numbers, in particular triple estimates. Fo-cusing on discounted cash flow analysis numerical results are presented, comparisons are made between alter-native modeling methods, and characteristics of the methods are discussed.
