However, the recent studies try to resolve the flaws of neo classical school on growth by expanding the concept of capital equipment and machinery to a wider range of human knowledge, on one hand, and in...

The theory of electron impact ionization of oneand two-electron atoms has advanced significantly in the past two years. This paper will summarize the progress that the members of our research center have contributed to.

Nowadays, Foreign Capital Inflows (FCIs) are considered as a catalyst for economic development and an important source of transferring technology and foreign exchange earnings from developed to developing countries. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the impact of FCIs (which include foreign direct investment, personal remittances and official development investment) on economic growth in...

The paper focuses on regional trade agreements and economic co-operation and develops a new appropriate approach to study their impact on growth and trade. The approach is based on an endogenous trade-growth theory and novelly specified in an economic integration (expenditure) framework which is the conceptual foundation of regional trade agreements. Importantly, it also appropriately takes int...
