چکیده
An isozyme study on the single population of the dioecious, clonal, and rhizomatous plant species Mercurialis ovata in Switzerland was carried out to determine whether small, isolated, outbred populations show low genetic variation, and whether most sexual events within such populations are sibmatings. Although the number of multilocus genotypes was very high (100%), most individuals were close relatives (mean band-sharing eveness at the 21 loci analysed"0.91). It was thus concluded, that most breeding was indeed sibmating, but that the obligate outcrossing of M. ovata nevertheless enabled the maintenance of high clonal diversity. Some implications for conservation genetics are discussed. ( 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The paper analyzes some generic features of industrial dynamics whereby innovative change is carried, stochastically, by new entrants. Relying on the formal representation suggested in Winter, S.G., Kaniovski, Y.M., Dosi, G., 1997. A Baseline Model of Industry Evolution. [Interim Report IR-97-013/March, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Laxenburg, Austria], it studies both t...

Ð The connections between economic growth (EG) and human development (HD) form two chains. Crosscountry regressions show a signi®cant relationship in both directions, with public expenditures on health and education, notably female, especially important in the chain from EG to HD; and the investment rate and income distribution signi®cant in the HD to EG chain. This gives rise to virtuous or vi...
