We present a model in which wage-setting structures explain cross-country variation in corporate governance. The model predicts a nonmonotonic relationship between the level of centralization in wage-bargaining institutions and the levels of firm ownership concentration and investor protection legislation. Low and high degrees of centralization yield less concentrated ownership and more investo...

What is the appropriate degree of centralization in the context of industrial policy? The basic advantage of centralization results from internalization of external e ects. While most of the literature stresses the superior information of regional authorities as a countervailing force, the present paper discusses another argument in favor of decentralization: Delegation of authority to regional...

Centralized wage-setting institutions are considered to be more effective at reducing wage inequality. In this paper, I offer an expansive cross-national analysis of the effects of recent liberalization in wage-setting institutions on wage inequality in the OECD, taking into special consideration the effects of EU and EMU membership. A qualitative comparison of liberalization occurring within E...

Background Genu valgum usually originates from a deformity of distal femur that is often corrected by distal femoral varus osteotomy. The osteotomy includes both components of angulationcorrection and translation because the site of osteotomy is not commonly at the apex of deformity. Improvement of patellar tracking not only depends on valgus correction, but also it may be partially due to cent...

Harmonic centrality calculates the importance of a node in network by adding inverse geodesic distances this to all other nodes. centralization, on hand, is graph-level score based node-level harmonic centrality. In paper, we present some results both and centralization graphs resulting from graph products such as Cartesian direct path $P_2$ with any $P_m$, cycle $C_m$, fan $F_m$ graphs.

introduction: hospital has a complex and special structure and the important question that hospital management facing with is how technology can change structure. in the near future, no factor like it is able to change the structure of organization. this research is a way to know the effect of it on triple dimensions of organization structure includes complexity, formalization, and centralizati...
