In the ordinary macro-economic input-output tables, the industrial sector consists of several dozen industries and each industry in a certain sector is an aggregate of many companies in the sector. The sectoral statistics are the sum of statistics of companies in the respective sector. Usually, all sectors have the same set of inputs for producing outputs. For example, they have labour, capital...

This article analyzes direct and indirect effects of foreign ownership on productivity in the Turkish manufacturing plants between 1990 and 1996. First, based on Olley-Pakes production function estimates, foreign affiliates are shown to be more productive than local plants. Using sectoral output shares of foreign affiliates and 1990 input-output matrix to identify linkages across plants, regres...

References 595 CONTENTS Policies adopted to mitigate global warming will have implications for specific sectors, such as the coal industry, the oil and gas industry, electricity, manufacturing, transportation and households. A sectoral assessment helps to put the costs in perspective , to identify the potential losers, and the extent and location of the losses, as well as to identify the sector...

Italy joined the so-called ‘Industry 4.0’ European framework in 2016, which designed and approved a national plan to regulate this key issue for regional development. To better support such framework, present study attempts quantify contribution of Italian regions output formation process. More specifically, multi-sectoral Input–Output (IO) model that supports policies was proposed cumulatively...

Adders and multipliers are two main units of the computer arithmetic processors and play an important role in reversible computations. The binary multiplier consists of two main parts, the partial products generation circuit (PPGC) and the reversible parallel adders (RPA). This paper introduces a novel reversible 4×4 multiplier circuit that is based on an advanced PPGC with Peres gates only. Ag...

A VLSI feedforward neural network is presented that makes use of digital weights and analog multipliers. The network is trained in a chip-in-loop fashion with a host computer implementing the training algorithm. The chip uses a serial digital weight bus implemented by a long shift register to input the weights. The inputs and outputs of the network are provided directly at pins on the chip. The...

Word-Level Decision Diagrams (WLDDs), like EVBDDs, *BMDs, HDDs, K*BMDs, are powerful tools in circuit veriication. Especially for some arithmetic circuits, like multipliers, for the rst time formal veriication was possible using WLDDs. Beside a good variable ordering and the decomposition types the size of a WLDD essentially depends on the grouping of the outputs. In this paper we study output ...

We consider the problem of identifying optimal sparse graph representations of dense consensus networks. The performance of the sparse representation is characterized by the global performance measure which quantifies the difference between the output of the sparse graph and the output of the original graph. By minimizing the sum of this performance measure and a sparsity-promoting penalty func...
