Plasma free fatty acid (FFA) kinetics in humans are often measured with only one tracer. In study 1, healthy volunteers received infusions of [U-¹³C]linoleate, [U-¹³C]oleate, and [U-¹³C]palmitate during continuous feeding with liquid meals low (n = 12) and high (n = 5) in palmitate and containing three labeled fatty acids to measure FFA appearance and fractional spillover of lipoprotein lipase-...

As Internet access grows at different rates across regions, the Internet has had variable effects on regional economies through agglomeration and spillover effects. This paper uses province-level panel data from 2000 to 2013 to study inequality in Internet access, its spatial effect on regional economies in China and the channels through which the spillover effects are most evident. We find tha...

We analyze new data on the production and use of IT around the world to assess the impact of changes in IT production in the 1990’s on economic development. We provide empirical evidence on a fundamental question: Besides the direct effect on GDP, does an emphasis on IT production have a spillover effect on the level of IT diffusion? We show that the results of our diffusion model indicates tha...

The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between large firms ́ knowledge spillovers and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) absorptive capacities. We built direct indicators for these two concepts and we carried out a structural equations analysis to determine the relationship between them. Based on firm level original data from a survey that focus on SMEs in a Mexican locality, this...

Background Many interventions delivered to improve health may benefit not only direct recipients but also people in close physical or social proximity. Our objective was to review all published literature about the spillover effects of interventions on health outcomes in low-middle income countries and to identify methods used in estimating these effects. Methods We searched 19 electronic dat...

It has been argued by economists that foreign direct investment (FDI) can promote economic growth in recipients countries, via the capital accumulation effect and the technology spillover effect. However due to the endogeneity of FDI, previous empirical literature on FDI has not convincingly established the causal effects from FDI to economic growth, in particular the technology spillover. This...

The interaction among information and communication technology (ICT) industries is a recently ubiquitous phenomenon through fixed-mobile integration. To monitor the impact of interaction, previous research has mainly focused on measuring spillover effect among ICT industries using various methods. Among others, inter-industry analysis is one of the useful methods for examining spillover effect ...

In essential hypertension sympathetic nerve firing is commonly increased. A central nervous system origin has been presumed but not tested directly. To estimate cerebral norepinephrine release in essential hypertension, spillover of norepinephrine into the cerebrovascular circulation was measured by isotope dilution, with high internal jugular venous sampling. Norepinephrine was released into t...

This report presents a review of the literature that underpins the different pathways through which the transition between two pro-environmental behaviours can occur. Its primary aim is to inform the theoretical part of a 2012 linkage project grant application for the Australian Research Council to be submitted by BehaviourWorks Australia. A special emphasis is on research where interventions h...
