Using original Ugandan data collected by the authors, we examine the determinants of funding to local NGOs. We …nd that success in attracting grants from international donors depends mostly on network e¤ects. In contrast, NGOs that raise in-kind resources locally tend to be young NGOs managed by someone who is simultaneously employed elsewhere. We …nd some evidence of crowding-out: NGOs that re...

The export tax rebate (ETR) policy is one of the most frequently used policy instruments by Chinese policy makers. This paper therefore provides a vital analysis of its allocation effects. To motivate our empirical analysis for the allocation effects of the ETR policy, we first add a tax rebate to the Melitz and Ottaviano (2008) model and examine the impact of this policy on firms' markup size ...

This paper is part of a collaborative research project entitled The Role of Law and Legal Institutions in Asian Economic Development (1960-95) which was sponsored by the Asian Development Bank. The study included six Asian economies: People's Republic of China (PRC), India, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan,China. Oxford University Press is publishing the comparative report. This es...

Empirical work relating trade liberalization and income distribution has identified an important anomaly. The Stolper-Samuelson theorem predicts that trade liberalization will shift income toward a country’s abundant factor. For developing countries, this suggests liberalization will principally benefit the abundant unskilled labor. Yet extensive empirical studies have identified many cases wit...

There was an inexplicable upsurge in the incidence of non-O1, non-O139 Vibrio cholerae among hospitalized patients admitted to the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Calcutta, India, between February and March 1996. Of the 18 strains of V. cholerae isolated during this period, 15 belonged to the non-O1, non-O139 serogroups (4 belonged to O144, 3 belonged to O11, 1 each belonged to O6, O8, O12, O19, ...

our experience as a result of this war shows that early intubation, aggressive resuscitation and gcs score are important factors for survival. the time of arrival has great importance on mortality. despite the diversity of views in the literature, patients with gcs of 4 and above should be operated if surgical pathologies exist, and decompressive craniectomy must made wide. if duraplasty is nec...

Introduction: During a nano-mineralogy investigation of the Acfer 094 carbonaceous chondrite, lakargiite (CaZrO3) was identified as submicrometer inclusions in an isolated hibonite grain in section USNM 7233-1. The hibonite grain is described in Simon and Grossman [1]. Lakargiite is a recently found perovskite-group mineral from hightemperature skarns in ignimbrites of the Upper-Chegem volcanic...

I investigate the e ciency consequences of donors who simultaneously give to multiple charities using revealed preference data from a lab experiment in which more than 200 real-world donors decide how to divide a gift between a charity they currently support and a set of international development charities. Most subjects simultaneously give to multiple development charities that have similar mi...

Objective: The main objective of this research is to study the chosen Ferulic acid for pharmaceutical application through crystal growth technique. The interest of growing crystals helps in studying the physical and chemical properties of the title compound. The computational method provides a detailed interpretation of the compound under study. Methods: Crystallization from solution is a very ...
