In this paper, we introduce a game-theoretical formulation for a specific form of collaborative industrial relations called “Industrial Symbiotic Relation (ISR) games” and provide a formal framework to model, verify, and support collaboration decisions in this new class of two-person operational games. ISR games are formalized as cooperative cost-allocation games with the aim to allocate the to...

Industrial clusters have received much attention in economic research in the last decade. They are seen as one of the reasons for the economic success of certain regions in comparison to others. This paper studies the evolution of such industrial clusters. To this end, a spatial structure of regions is set up and the entry, exit, and growth of rms within these regions is modelled and studied wi...

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the yield of embedded static random access memories (eSRAM) which are generated using a compiler. Defect and fault analysis inclusive of industrial data are presented for these chips by taking into accotmt the design constructs (referred to as kernels) and the physical properties of the layout. The new tool CAYA (Compiler-based Array Yield Analysis) is...

With the expansion of stock market, investors and capital are increasing step by step, which makes the stock market an increasing impact on the macro-economy.

An oft-repeated refrain in the development literature has been the “neglect” of the agricultural sector vis-à-vis the industrial sector in the development process of the less developed economies. Because infrastructure is crucially linked to both agricultural and industrial development, poor infrastructure development may make it appear as if slow agricultural growth has caused slow industrial ...
