We develop a multi-sector sticky-price DSGE model that can endogenously deliver differential responses of prices to aggregate and sectoral shocks. Input-output production linkages induce across-sector pricing complementarities that contribute to a slow response of prices to aggregate shocks. In turn, labor-market segmentation at the sectoral level induces within-sector pricing substitutability,...

Drawing on qualitative fieldwork in China’s Guangdong and Zhejiang Provinces, the author asks how postsocialist unions respond to worker unrest and why the development of sectoral-level bargaining has been uneven in different regions of China. While Zhejiang has had relative success in establishing the organizational infrastructure for sectoral bargaining, Guangdong has had little success despi...

This paper aims to study some of the factors that influence the sectoral diffusion of innovation. The final objective is to arrive at a model of innovation diffusion in order to analyse how different economic policies can help to promote it. In the first place, an exploratory analysis is carried out in which some new statistics such as the sectoral autocorrelation coefficient are used. Secondly...

Compact shorted 1350 Sectoral microstrip antenna derived from 2700 Sectoral microstrip antenna is proposed. On thicker air substrate (h > 0. 1?0) it yields bandwidth of more than 350 MHz (35%). To increase the bandwidth, its rectangular slot cut variation is proposed. The slot reduces the resonance frequency of higher order TM1/4,1 mode of the shorted patch and along with fundamental TM1/4,0 mo...

introduction sectoral retinitis pigmentosa (rp) is a rare clinical condition. case presentation we present a 60-year-old female with a history of mild night blindness and decreased vision in the left eye for about 15 years. conclusions fundus examination revealed retinal pigmentary changes in the inferotemporal sector and reduced arterial caliber. in addition, fundus autofluorescence, fluoresce...

The question whether technological progress displaces employment or whether technological advance is beneficial for the level of employment has been in the core of economic dispute for over two centuries. The beneficial might be achieved by several compensation mechanisms within the economic system. In this paper we categorize these compensation mechanisms into two basic categories that reflect...

The article focuses on varying protest intensities of social movement activists in an authoritarian political environment. Drawing on a sample of participants in El Salvador’s El movimiento popular, the paper examines how structural location in the resistance movement’s multi-sectoral organizational infrastructure shapes the level of participation. Those motivated by state repression and mainta...

Does unbalanced sectoral productivity growth inevitably lead to continuous shift of resources to the less productive sectors and stagnation in aggregate productivity? This paper attempts to integrate the traditional stagnationist and the modern optimist arguments within a numerical simulation framework. The simulation framework consists of an applied general equilibrium multi-sectoral growth mo...
