The study investigates India’s trade prospect with ASEAN countries by analyzing the pattern and trends in India’s bilateral merchandise trade with ASEAN countries and their revealed comp that during last three decades India’s share in ASEAN has increased, but it has been less than that of Japan and China. T more marked in the case of im vis-à-vis ASEAN countries. had been worst in case of its t...

‎a $mu$-way $(v,k,t)$ $trade$ of volume $m$ consists of $mu$‎ ‎disjoint collections $t_1$‎, ‎$t_2‎, ‎dots t_{mu}$‎, ‎each of $m$‎ ‎blocks‎, ‎such that for every $t$-subset of $v$-set $v$ the number of‎ ‎blocks containing this t-subset is the same in each $t_i (1leq‎ ‎i leq mu)$‎. ‎in other words any pair of collections ${t_i,t_j}$‎, ‎$1leq i< j leq mu‎$ is a $(v,k,t)$ trade of volume $m$. in th...

t his paper investigates the gain of bilateral trade between china and u.s. in manufacturing sectors when both countries play a role in asymmetric (biased) growth of  international trade. our model includes a special case of biased growth theory in international trade. we collected labor productivity, export and import data by using classification of manufacturing industries, for u.s. and china...

The consequences of free trade are investigated in an international duopoly under horizontal di¤erentiation and convex transportation costs. It is shown that the smaller country may bene...t from trade if it is su¢ciently small to allow for a signi...cant volume of exports by the domestic ...rm. On the contrary, the larger country never bene...ts from trade, since liberalization decreases the d...

We present a theory of why some countries negotiate trade agreements during economic downturns. We argue that political leaders can gain from such agreements because of the signals they send to their publics. Publics are less likely to blame leaders for bad economic conditions when they have implemented sound economic policies, such as signing and implementing agreements designed to liberalize ...

Let G be a graph. A G-trade of volume m is a pair (T , T ′), where each of T and T ′ consists of m graphs, pairwise edge-disjoint, isomorphic to G, such that T ∩T ′ = ∅ and the union of the edge sets of the graphs in T is identical to the union of the edge sets of the graphs in T ′. Let X(G) be the set of non-negative integers m such that no G-trade of volume m exists. In this paper we prove th...

We consider the well known problem of finding two identical elements, called a collision, in a list of n numbers. Here, the (very fast) comparison based algorithms are randomized and will only report existing collisions, and do this with (small) probability p, the success probability. We find a trade-off between p and the running time t, and show that this trade-off is optimal up to a constant ...
