Pakistan introduced a package of economic reforms consisting of liberalization, deregulation and privatization policies. The main focus of these reforms was on achieving macroeconomic stability and a reasonable rate of economic growth. Manufacturing sector is an important sector of the economy of Pakistan and contributes about 25% share in GDP. Agro-based industries have a special importance in...

BACKGROUND Local and national governments have implemented sector-specific policies to support economic development through innovation, entrepreneurship and knowledge exchange. Supported by the Welsh Government through the European Regional Development Fund, The Life Science Exchange® project was created with the aim to increase interaction between stakeholders, to develop more effective knowle...

Many existing cross -country analyses of the impact of schooling on growth find low economic returns to schooling, with the coefficient estimates being sensitive to modelling approach and sample selection. This paper argues that coefficient instability is to be expected when regression samples include countries that vary greatly in their ability to use schooling productively. Data on corruption...

Purpose: The author tried to identify the knowledge sharing behaviors on the internet, using structural equation modeling methods, proposing a model based on social exchange theory in which share willingness, trust, reciprocity, altruism tended to have impact on people’s knowledge sharing behaviors in virtual communities. Design/methodology/approach: We presented an empirical research which int...

In this paper, we study the problem of exchanging knowledge between a source and a target knowledge base (KB), connected through mappings. Differently from the traditional database exchange setting, which considers only the exchange of data, we are interested in exchanging implicit knowledge. As representation formalism we use Description Logics (DLs), thus assuming that the source and target K...

Little attention has been paid to information transmission between the portfolios of large stocks and small stocks in the Korean stock market. This study investigates the return and volatility transmission mechanisms between large and small stocks in the Korea Exchange (KRX). This study also explores whether bad news in the large stock market leads to a volatility of the small stock market that...

The increasing use of internet and intranet fosters the possibilities for resource-oriented knowledge exchange in large groups of people working in parallel. However, the individual decision to contribute information to a shared pool builds up a public-goods dilemma, and people are often discouraged from sharing knowledge because of strategic reasons. Additionally, the highly anonymous situatio...

Increasingly flexible production processes require intelligent assistance systems containing information and knowledge to maintain high quality and efficiency. To ensure a reliable supply of information, it is of great importance to find easy and fast ways to record and store “new” information, as well as to provide a sensible mechanism to supply the information when needed. In this paper an ap...

This paper investigates the price returns and volatility linkages between the foreign exchange (KRW) and stock (KOSPI) markets in Korea, using the cointegration test, and bivariate GJR-GARCH model. Our findings from empirical analysis are summarized as follows. First, there is no long-term equilibrium relationship between the KRW and KOSPI markets. Second, exogenous variables (yen/dollar exchan...

The paper presents two case studies of multi-agent information exchange involving generalized quantifiers. We focus on scenarios in which agents successfully converge to knowledge on the basis of the information about the knowledge of others, so-called Muddy Children puzzle [1] and Top Hat puzzle. We investigate the relationship between certain invariance properties of quantifiers and the succe...
