The Evolution of Technology Diffusion and the Great Divergence
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY New technologies disseminate increasingly rapidly from rich to poor countries but poor countries struggle to employ these technologies with the same degree of intensity and versatility. This suggests that the potential for technological leap-frogging is over-hyped. The challenge for poor countries is to invest in the right kinds of knowledge so that imported technologies can b...
متن کاملTrade and the Great Divergence: The Family Connection
This research argues that the rapid expansion of international trade in the second phase of the industrial revolution has played a major role in the timing of demographic transitions across countries and has thereby been a significant determinant of the distribution of world population and a prime cause of the ‘Great Divergence’ in income per capita across countries in the last two centuries. T...
متن کاملA secure peer-to-peer backup service keeping great autonomy while under the supervision of a provider
Making backup is so cumbersome and expensive that individuals hardly ever backup their data and companies usually duplicate their data into a secondary server. This paper proposes a novel Peer-to-Peer (P2P) backup system known as the SecureBackup service, which was defined in the DisPairse research project. It utilizes the unused personal hard disk spaces attached to the Internet to implement a...
متن کاملThe great divergence: when did diversity on land exceed that in the sea?
Between 85% and 95% of all living macroscopic species are found on land; the rest are mainly marine. We argue that the extraordinary diversity on land is geologically recent, dating from the mid-Cretaceous period, ∼110 million years ago. We suggest that the ability and necessity to be rare--that is, to maintain populations at low density--are made possible by the low cost of mobility of consume...
متن کاملDating divergence of Polystigma and other Sordariomycetes
Studies on the evolutionary history of ascomycetes in terms of time scale will help to understand historical patterns that shape their biodiversity. Until now most of dating studies of ascomycetes have focused on major events in fungal evolution but not on divergence events within smaller groups of fungi e.g. within Sordariomycetes. We used molecular dating to estimate the time of separation of...
