This paper empirically investigates whether the contribution of human capital to productivity growth depends on the composition of human capital and proximity to the technology frontier in a panel of 87 sample countries over the period 1970–2004. It tests the hypothesis that primary and secondary education is more suitable for imitation whereas tertiary education is more appropriate for innovat...

It is sometimes claimed that if moral realism is true, then rational and informed individuals would not disagree about morality. According to this line of thought, the moral realist is committed to an extremely substantive convergence thesis, one that might very well turn out to be false. Although this idea has been accepted by prominent moral realists as well as by antirealists, I argue that w...

Different convergence and comparison theorems for proper regular splittings and proper weak regular splittings are discussed. The notion of double splitting is also extended to rectangular matrices. Finally, convergence and comparison theorems using this notion are presented.

According to the convergence hypothesis, different economies are bound to converge to one supposedly superior system under the uniformating pressure of globalisation. Consequently, also organisational structures converge. Contrary to what the convergence hypothesis maintains, globalisation does not originate nor requires the convergence to a unique, best economic system and organisational struc...

We introduce new definitions of convergence, based on adding stability criteria to Γ-convergence, that are suitable in many cases for studying convergence of local minimizers.

*Correspondence: [email protected] 2Department of Mathematics, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, 202002, India Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Abstract In this paper we define the λ(u)-statistical convergence that generalizes, in a certain sense, the notion of λ-statistical convergence. We find some relations with sets of sequences which are related t...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of λ-statistical convergence in n-normed spaces. Some inclusion relations between the sets of statistically convergent and λ-statistically convergent sequences are established. We find its relations to statistical convergence, (C,1)-summability and strong (V, λ)-summability in n-normed spaces.

Over the past few years we have witnessed steady progress toward convergence in communications. We believe we are now witnessing convergence beyond just media transport. Further, abstract application level signaling technologies are poised for takeoff and will serve as the unifying fabric for multi-dimensional convergence. Our research shows that such a signaling mechanism known as “presence”, ...
