Changes in infrastructure and tariff barriers: local vs global impacts
We develop a multi-country Dixit-Stiglitz model to investigate the impacts of: (i) changes in the international distribution of consumers’ expenditure; (ii) decreasing tariffs; and (iii) improvements in transportation infrastructure. We show that, in general, decreasing tariff barriers do not allow for any clear predictions regarding changes in industry location and welfare, whereas this is pos...
متن کاملLow carbon technology performance vs infrastructure vulnerability: analysis through the local and global properties space.
Renewable energy technologies, necessary for low-carbon infrastructure networks, are being adopted to help reduce fossil fuel dependence and meet carbon mitigation targets. The evolution of these technologies has progressed based on the enhancement of technology-specific performance criteria, without explicitly considering the wider system (global) impacts. This paper presents a methodology for...
متن کاملLocal vs. Global Variables for Spin Glasses
We discuss a framework for understanding why spin glasses differ so remarkably from homogeneous systems like ferromagnets, in the context of the sharply divergent low temperature behavior of shortand infinite-range versions of the same model. Our analysis is grounded in understanding the distinction between two broad classes of thermodynamic variables – those that describe the global features o...
متن کاملLocal vs . Global : Intelligent Local Face Recognition
Face recognition in real world applications is a very difficult task because of image misalignments, pose and illumination variations, or occlusions. Many researchers in this field have investigated both face representation and classification techniques able to deal with these drawbacks. However, none of them is free from limitations. Early proposed algorithms were generally holistic, in the se...
متن کاملLocal–global Properties for Semistar Operations
We study the “local” behavior of several relevant properties concerning semistar operations, like finite type, stable, spectral, e.a.b. and a.b. We deal with the “global” problem of building a new semistar operation on a given integral domain, by “gluing” a given homogeneous family of semistar operations defined on a set of localizations. We apply these results for studying the local–global beh...
