The emerging field of corporate demography views corporations and industries in a similar way to human or animal individuals and groups. In spite of a surprisingly large overlap of subject matter with economics, corporate demography is not well-known by, nor easily accessible to economists. An outstanding recent book, The Demography of Corporations and Industries, by Glenn R. Carroll and Michae...

abstract:migration is one of the main factors in regional development and social and demography policymakers pay attention to it. this phenomenon has different functions. the amount of satisfaction on dissatisfaction from migration process can be a sign of positive or negative function for migrants. the goal of this research is to survey the relation between social capital and satisfaction from...

Knowledge management (KM) has emerged as a new discipline in managing organization. It plays important roles in establishing long term internal strength and supporting external competitive advantage. The purpose of this study is to gauge the level of KM practices in MSC status organizations. It also shows relationship between demography of respondents with KM influential factors in those organi...

Detecting positive selection in species with heterogeneous habitats and complex demography is notoriously difficult and prone to statistical biases. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana exemplifies this problem: In spite of the large amounts of data, little evidence for classic selective sweeps has been found. Moreover, many aspects of the demography are unclear, which makes it hard to judge wh...

In recent years, the scientific interest of many demographers has shifted from studying “demographic regimes” and large-scale processes to analysing longitudinal micro data in the form of “life courses”. By some of its advocates, the “life course approach” is heralded as a new paradigm capable of reinvigorating the study of populations. Since, ultimately, demography deals with the fates and cho...

Mutations occur at vastly different rates across the genome, and populations, leading to differences in the spectrum of segregating polymorphisms. Here, we investigate variation in the rare variant spectrum in a sample of human genomes representing all major world populations. We find at least two distinct signatures of variation. One, consistent with a previously reported signature is characte...
