The fast and steady economic growth in China during the 1990s has attracted much international attention. Using the three most recent Chinese input-output tables, this paper investigates industry structure and inter-industry relationships and the relationship of both to economic growth. The input-output tables contain intermediate demand and final demand for six broad industries, namely, Agricu...

One of the most important developments in the growth literature of the last decade is the enhanced appreciation of the role that the misallocation of resources plays in helping us understand income differences across countries. Misallocation at themicro level typically reduces total factor productivity at the macro level. Quantifying these effects is leading growth researchers in new directions...

A study of 90 eyes in 72 diabetic patients with peripheral retinal neovascularisation treated by photocoagulation indicated that the subsequent development of further peripheral or disc new vessels is infrequent if panretinal photocoagulation is the initial treatment procedure. Focal or sectorial treatment may be considered only if a small area of neovascularisation is present initially and pro...

Isolated degenerate elementary singular points (saddle nodes) of germs of holomorphic vector fields in (C2, 0) are studied. An analytic classification of them is obtained; it is shown that the analytic classification has two times more moduli (numeric and functional) than the orbital analytic classification. A theorem on sectorial normalization is proved.

The purpose of the present notes is to examine following issues related Chernoff estimate: (1) For contractions on a Banach space we modify $\sqrt{n}$-estimate and apply it in proof product formula for $C_0$-semigroups \textit{strong} operator topology. (2) We use idea {probabilistic} approach, proving estimate strong topology, uplift \textit{operator-norm} \textit{quasi-sectorial} contraction ...

in this study, total factor productivity(tfp) growth of sugar beet in iran during 1989-1990 through 2007-2008 was analyzed, using nonparametric malmquist approach. so, amounts of inputs usage including seeds, fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, labor, water use and acreage in one hand and output of sugar beet production on the hand were taken into account. results showed that sugar beet prod...

In this paper we investigate some practical aspects concerning the use of the Restricted-Denominator (RD) rational Arnoldi method for the computation of the core functions of exponential integrators for parabolic problems. We derive some useful a-posteriori bounds together with some hints for a suitable implementation inside the integrators. Numerical experiments arising from the discretization...

The aim of this work is to study the notion of the gradient observability on a subregion ω of the evolution domain Ω for a class of semilinear hyperbolic systems. We show, under some hypothesis, that the gradient reconstruction is achieved following sectorial approach combined with fixed point techniques. The obtained results lead to an algorithm which can be implemented numerically.
