Specialization across goods and export quality

Identification of internal and external factors affecting the development of sporting goods export

This research is done with the aim of recognizing internal and external factors which are influential on exporting sportive commodities and the expansion of this export activity. From methodological point of view, this research is practical and descriptive-measureable. To recognize influential items on export expansion, a qualitative-quantitative method is used. In qualitative method, profound ...

Within- and Across-Product Specialization Revisited

SYMPOSIUM Ectotherm Thermal Stress and Specialization Across Altitude and Latitude

Synopsis Gradients of air temperature, radiation, and other climatic factors change systematically but differently with altitude and latitude. We explore how these factors combine to produce altitudinal and latitudinal patterns of body temperature, thermal stress, and seasonal overlap that differ markedly from patterns based solely on air temperature. We use biophysical models to estimate body ...

Ectotherm thermal stress and specialization across altitude and latitude.

Gradients of air temperature, radiation, and other climatic factors change systematically but differently with altitude and latitude. We explore how these factors combine to produce altitudinal and latitudinal patterns of body temperature, thermal stress, and seasonal overlap that differ markedly from patterns based solely on air temperature. We use biophysical models to estimate body temperatu...

Price and Quality Dynamics in Export Markets

This paper investigates the evolution of firm-level price and quality decisions in export markets. We develop a model of heterogeneous firms which endogenously choose their optimal price and product quality to build demand in each export market. Consistent with existing research, more productive firms produce higher quality products, charge higher prices, sell more units and achieve higher prof...
