The evolutionary traverse: a causal analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explores the process of adaptation to new methods in a simple model where the growth rate of labour supply is exogenously given and constant. It shows that competition for a primary input in short supply changes the mechanism of adaptation and its consequences: If surplus labour exists, differential capacity accumulation effectuates adaptation and leads to a logistic replacement pattern; but if labour is in short supply, 'growth predation' undermines the former mechanism and leads to an exponential replacement pattern. The consequences of the quantitative adjustment mechanisms for aggregate growth are discussed by means of a 'causal analysis', which focuses on the properties of the traverse between two full-employment steady states. The analysis reveals that different types of new methods lead to different adaptation paths and results. Overall, adaptation entails unsteady growth and it is not always the case that the diffusion of a new method boosts aggregate growth.

Background: The tan spot disease of wheat caused by Pyrenophera tritici-repentis has become a major disease in most wheat growing areas worldwide. Objectives: Here we used ISSR and RAPD markers to study the genetic diversity of 34 P. tritici-repentis isolates collected from North of Iran. Materials and Methods: The leaves having the typical symptoms of tan spot disease were collected and after...
متن کاملA Note on Evolutionary Rate Estimation in Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis: Focus on Pathogens
Bayesian evolutionary analysis provide a statistically sound and flexible framework for estimation of evolutionary parameters. In this method, posterior estimates of evolutionary rate (μ) are derived by combining evolutionary information in the data with researcher’s prior knowledge about the true value of μ. Nucleotide sequence samples of fast evolving pathogens that are taken at d...

The effect of transvers speeds on microstructure and mechanical properties of the AA2024 to AA6061 joint welded by FSW
Friction Stir Welding is one of the solid-state processes and today it has been used to join different types of materials. Friction stir welding does not have many problems and limitations due to melting and solidification of weld metal and by controlling its variables, the microstructure and desired mechanical properties can be achieved at the joint. Recently, in most industrial areas, due t...
