Multinationals’ misbehavior

Bilateral Migration and Multinationals

This paper starts by observing two novel facts. First, bilateral migration flows are pervasive across OECD countries, both for high-skilled and low-skilled workers. This fact goes against the common belief that migration merely reallocates cheap labor from poor to rich countries. Second, multinational corporations tend to hire a large number of migrant workers. In this paper I develop a general...

Why are Multinationals ‘Footloose’?

Conclusions The ‘footloose’ effect of MNE ownership is attributable to the nature of the plants they close. Multinationals are more likely to close plants that are weakest relative to the firm. There is a high degree of similarity between the plants closed by multiplant firms regardless of whether they are MNE or not. However, MNEs offshore high wage plants while domestic multiplant firms outso...

Diagnosing Temporal Misbehavior

and S are a start state and a start symbol, respectively.) is activated by a reducel or reduce2 action, and this processor reads the terminal symbol (the end mark), by a shift action, then the input string is accepted. If there are no processors performing a shift and a reducel action, the input string is rejected. 4.3 Handling Syntactic Features In order to extend the syntactic analysis method...

"Towards « Participative » Multinationals"

Preventing peptide and protein misbehavior.

Proteins provide remarkably diverse functionality in living systems by interacting and self-assembling together with other proteins into complexes, which represent key components of the nano-scale machinery of life (1). Such self-assembly processes generate intricate structures of considerable complexity that can perform a wide variety of functional roles, which range from generating motion to ...
