Although interorganisational information systems (IOIS) have existed as study object for a long time, much research into IOIS remains sector-specific. By employing a multisector dataset, this paper aims to contribute to the cross-sectoral analysis of IOIS. We formulate four hypotheses on IOIS maturity based on theory concerning supply chain integration and business/IT-alignment, taking both ‘IT...

Digit-serial architectures obtained using traditional unfolding techniques cannot be pipelined beyond a certain level because of the presence of feedback loops. In this paper, a novel design methodology is presented which permits bit-level pipelining of the digit-serial ar-chitectures. This enables bit-level pipelining of digit-serial architectures thereby achieving sample speeds close to corre...

Europe in development policies for rural and less developed areas. This shift moves away from subsidies and sectoral interventions towards supply-side, area-specific actions–both public investments and institution building–aimed at improving framework conditions and increasing indirectly the productivity of private investments in these areas.1 These actions can be pooled together under the name...

We present a new multi-sector growth model that features nonhomothetic, constantelasticity-of-substitution preferences, and accommodates long-run demand and supply drivers of structural change. The model generates a log-linear relationship between relative sectoral demand and real income, implying non-vanishing nonhomotheticities for all income levels. The model is consistent with the decline i...

PpT HE purpose of this paper is to test empirically two propositions which have been closely, although not exclusively, associated with Milton Friedman in recent years. The first is the hypothesis that changes in monetary or fiscal policy variables are frequently ineffective in stabilizing some target variable because they are poorly timed.1 The second hypothesis, which was presented by Friedma...

This paper proves the existence of competitive equilibrium in a single-sector dynamic economy with heterogeneous agents and elastic labor supply. The method of proof relies on some recent results concerning the existence of Lagrange multipliers in infinite dimensional spaces and their representation as a summable sequence and a direct application of the Brouwer fixed point theorem.

The regional water allocation planning is one of those complex decision problems where holistic approach to water supply management considering different criteria would be valuable. However, multi-criteria decision making with diverse indicators measured on different scales and uncertainty levels is difficult to solve. Objective of this paper is to develop scenarios for the future imbalances in...

The goals of the article are a definition of patterns of change in demand and supply of milk and dairy in the market of Ukraine and revealing the regularities of establishing of partial equilibrium state. The scientific methods which used in the process of the research: simulation was used for defining trends of supply and demand changing and their balancing in the dairy market; economic and st...
