This paper investigates whether exports are the engine of production growth in forest industries in three countries. A bivariate autoregressive distributed lag model of production and exports was estimated with data of eleven forest industries from China, Finland, and the United States. Inferences were based on the short-run and long-run partial multipliers from exports to production by industr...

Theories of exchange rate in developing economies suggest that between and stock price movement, a positive relationship exists. In Nigeria, depreciation local currency to many seems not have brought about the expected increase export or output industrial sector, let alone firms’ prices.

The present study was carried out to estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters for some productivity traits of Baluchi ewes. The data were collected during a 31 year period (1984-2014) at the experimental breeding station of Baluchi sheep, which is located in north-east of Mashhad, Iran. The analysis was based on 14030 records of lambs and 4371 records of ewes. Investigated traits...

2010 Acknowledgement The study embraces the last two decades I worked for the Institute of Food Research, UK. For the opportunity to become a research scientist, I am indebted to Dr Terry Roberts, the former head of the Microbiology Department there, who decided that further advances in food microbiology was impossible without a dedicated mathematician.
