The O-Ring theory is used to analyze the emergence of ̄rms organized as partnerships. The owner-managers of such entrepreneurial ̄rms bene ̄t from ability matching within their production teams. However, they must bear the project risk. Risk-aversion then induces a second-best solution. Integrated ̄rms managed on behalf of riskneutral residual-claimants face information and/or enforcement problem...

Harlequin ichthyosis is a very rare condition that affects the skin of newborns. It is associated with poor barrier function of the skin leading to dehydration and leaves newborns prone to infections. It is due to mutations in adenosine triphosphate binding cassette A12 gene transmitted as an autosomal recessive disorder. The prognosis is very poor in these cases. Here, we report one such rare ...

and a 5% level of significance, seven different associations appear to be valid. However, when the p value is corrected by multiplying it by the number of factors investigated, only the association of HL-A12 with lymphocytic lymphomas and the 4c antigen with chronic lymphatic leukemia appear to be significant. The previously described increased incidence of W5 and 4c in Hodgkin's disease was no...

A12-month-old child was evaluated for pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect. Assessment of the whole arterial pulmonary arborization was first done by angiography. This examination revealed that the left lung received vascularization by the native pulmonary artery via a central shunt performed during the neonatal period and by 2 aortopulmonary collateral arteries. The positions of th...

triple a syndrome (allgrove syndrome) is a rare inherited autosomal recessive disease with a typical triad including adrenocorticotrophic-hormone-resistant glucocorticoid insufficiency, reduced or absent tearing (alacrima) and achalasia and a wide range of symptoms can be detected due to multi organ involvement. this report describes the case of a triple asyndrome, a12 year-old boy with a histo...

This paper deals with hyperbolic discounting in a macro context. Time consistency is discussed in terms of rational behavior and rational expectations. The theory is applied to the intertemporal consumption decision in order to explain undersaving in an economy. Moreover, possible implications on policy makers’ decisions on reforms and budget deficits are evinced. Finally, the Ricardian equival...

This paper evaluates and compares the main philosophic economic thoughts of two great liberal minds Michael Polanyi Friedrich A. von Hayek in regards to concept a ‘spontaneous order’. In several their books papers, both Michal (1941, 1948, 1951) F.A. (1944, 1945, 1964, 1973) strongly emphasised on impossibility socialism superiority free market versus public interventionism. Both highlighted co...
