This paper deals with the externalities associated with the individual developing country’s cost of credit and borrowing level. As long as the supply curve of credit is positively sloped, the interest rate charged on credit extended to a particular developing country is affected by the aggregate borrowing level of the rest of the countries. Moreover, the relatively high level of indebtedness of...

The use of real time channel borrowing in digital cellular TDMA systems is considered. Some systems (such as IS-54) are asynchronous in the sense that time slots in different cells are not aligned. CBWL (channel borrowing without locking) techniques can be applied but (without cell-to-cell synchronization) borrowing individual time slots from adjacent cells would violate co-channel interference...

Borrowing is often seen as a threat by speakers of minority or endangered languages (King 2008, Dubois and Melançons 1997) but linguists may be more likely to see it as a natural, and potentially revealing, resource of bilingual speakers. This paper uses the sociolinguistic construct of apparent time to explore borrowing in an endangered language further. If borrowing is an index of communal la...

This paper examines the impact of local tax rates and capital market conditions on the level and composition of borrowing by foreign affiliates of American multinational corporations. The evidence indicates that 10 percent higher local tax rates are associated with 2.8 percent higher debt/asset ratios of American-owned affiliates, and that borrowing from related parties is particularly sensitiv...

Introduction In this 1986 book, Sheila Embleton surveys the development and use of statistical techniques in historical linguistics. She argues that any successful lexicostatistic model must incorporate word borrowing rates. A computational model for family tree reconstruction using borrowing is introduced, building on ideas of Sankoff (Sankoff 1972). Embleton outlines future uses of lexicostat...

We consider the implications for optimal fiscal policy when taxes are non-distortionary and households are heterogeneous and borrowing constrained. The main result is that optimal policy keeps some households borrowing constrained in order to reduce interest rates on government debt. © 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This paper introduces one of the high speed CMOS clocking design style --time borrowing and time stealing. It starts with an introduction of traditional domino pipeline structure and its limits. In the following parts, time borrowing and time stealing and their usages are introduced respectively.

The study investigates the association between tobacco and alcohol use, and the potential risk of impoverishment from borrowing and distress selling of assets for meeting costs of hospitalization in India. Data from the fifty-second round of the National Sample Survey, a representative survey of 120,942 households across India, were used to investigate the likelihood and the levels of borrowing...
