Uneven Development, Uneven Response: The Relentless Search for Meaningful Regulation of GVCs

Trade, Non-Scale Growth, and Uneven Development

This paper investigates the relationship between trade and economic development using a two-country, non-scale-growth model. Depending on the share of the expenditure for manufactured goods, we obtain two different results with regard to long-run production patterns. If the share of the expenditure is less than or equal to half, the leader country diversifies while the follower country asymptot...

The uneven experience of racism

Racism may well be an affect of despair. Racism may also be a central cause of despair. A telephone survey in the states of Queensland and NSW (sample 5056) examined the extent and distribution of experiences of racism. About 15 percent of Australians have experienced racism within the workplace and in education. About one-quarter of Australians report the experience of ‘everyday racisms’, such...

Walking on Uneven Terrain

Control of legged locomotion across uneven terrain is poorly understood from a theoretical perspective, despite strong relevance to clinical and robotic applications. Gait research has typically examined locomotion on smooth and level surfaces with uniform steps. Identifying key gait parameters that permit agile locomotion across uneven surfaces could lead to a clearer understanding of control ...

Uneven Growth: A Framework for Research in Development Economics

T he textbook paradigm of economywide development rests on the premise of “balanced growth”: that is, on the presumption that all sectors will grow in unison over time as a country gets richer. This view has served us reasonably well in several circumstances, particularly those pertaining to macroeconomic models of long-term growth. An implicit view that growth is balanced across sectors, or so...
