Migrant networks are an important catalyst for promoting FDI flows between countries. Migrants also send increasingly large remittances to their home countries. This paper considers how these two capital flows are related, specifically examining how remittance flows respond to the amount of FDI inflows to a country. Using a panel of 118 countries over 1980-2010, we estimate a random effects mod...

This paper investigates the impact of trade liberalization on productivity in Vietnam. The gradual opening up of markets to trade over the course of the last decade culminating with the WTO accession in 2007 makes Vietnam an ideal case for exploring this issue. We use microdata on the population of manufacturing enterprises for the period 2001 to 2010 and match these to data on exports and impo...

This paper investigates the impact of dollarization policy on Zimbabwe exports over a period 20 years. The study used panel data for 50 potential historical trading partners. Random Effects Model (REM) was applied to estimate gravity model equation. Panel Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) regression technique corrected heteroskedasticity and contemporaneous correlation across panels pro...

Abstract The relationship between trade and inequality is complex, the existing literature concludes that impacts of on are ambiguous. This article addresses this ambiguity presents robust evidence effects depend economic development, when it occurred in recent decades, their various measures. It proposes a novel identification strategy to solve for endogeneity problem by using as predicted gra...

<p>The aim of this paper is to study the concepts foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth as well relationship between them through a literature review papers published from 1990 until today. In order for better results be achieved, divided into three phases, each reviewing different decade. particular, first phase reviews period 2000, second 2001 2012, while third 2013 up dat...

Cecal ligation sepsis was studied in eight pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs with hemodynamic measurements at baseline, 2 days after cecal ligation, and following Ringer’s lactate resuscitation. Microsphere techniques were used to measure peripheral arteriovenous (A-V) shunting and distribution of cardiac output. Cecal ligation sepsis was manifested by pyrexia, leukocytosis, decreased blood press...

Understanding the interplay between molecules and lipid membranes is fundamental when studying cellular and biotechnological phenomena. Partition between aqueous media and lipid membranes is key to the mechanism of action of many biomolecules and drugs. Quantifying membrane partition, through adequate and robust parameters, is thus essential. Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is a powerful techni...
