Indirect network e ects exist when the utility of consumers is increasing in the variety of complementary products available for use with an electronic hardware device. In this paper, we examine how trade liberalization a ects production structure in the presence of indirect network e ects. For these purposes we construct a simple twocountry model of trade with incompatible country-speci c hard...

The main purpose of this study is to illustrate, with simple trade theory, the relationship between competing industrial standards and trade liberalization. We assume that there are two competing industrial standards in an international context, each of which consists of di¤erentiated products. A product can be used only in combination with other products based on the same industrial standard. ...

We systematically formulate a hierarchy of isospectral Hamiltonians in onedimensional supersymmetric quantum mechanics on an interval and on a circle, in which two successive Hamiltonians form N = 2 supersymmetry. We find that boundary conditions compatible with supersymmetry are severely restricted. In the case of an interval, a hierarchy of, at most, three isospectral Hamiltonians is possible...

9 Figure 1 The locations of the 1995 Kobe earthquake and the four other large intraplate earthquakes (Nobi, Tango, Tottori, and Fukui) in Japan since 1890. The mechanisms for the Tango, Tottori and Fukui earthquakes are also shown. The base map showing the Quaternary faults in the region is taken from Huzita (1980) and modified. M.T. is the Median Tectonic Line. Daishinsai (A major earthquake d...
