The central motivation of this article is to endogenous market structure (free entry) in the Kaleckian model. Using this model, we find that the model is unstable under a wage-led growth regime when the real interest rate is constant, but stable under a profit-led growth regime. On the other hand, if the interest rate is related to the growth rate, the stability condition depends on not only th...

The phase separation mechanism of a binary liquid mixture off-critically quenched in its miscibility gap is nucleation and growth, its homogeneous phase reaching a metastable equilibrium state. The successive stages of growth of the nucleated droplets are a diffusion-driven free growth, an intermediate regime and a coarsening by reduction of interface (Ostwald ripening or Brownian collisions in...

WANG 2. M.. JOHXEN K. H. and LECHO~VICZ iM. J. Is climate simulatiori in growth chambers necessary? BIOTRONICS 28, 13-21, 1999. In the expression of their genetic potential as phenotypes, trees respond to environmental cues such as photoperiod, temperature and soil and atmospheric water. However, growth chamber experiments often utilize simple and standard environmental conditions that might no...

I examine the impact that a decline in financial development could have on Ireland‟s growth performance in light of the current credit crisis. A Markov-switching model with time-varying transition probabilities is applied to Irish data to examine the link between financial development and growth. In the model, the growth rate moves discretely between two regimes; one characterised by high avera...

AIM Clinical supervisors are appointed to ensure that medical trainees receive a satisfactory education, improve their academic orientation and develop professional attitudes. The aim of this study was to find out, from the paediatric trainee's perspective, how their clinical supervisor could best do that. METHODS We conducted in-depth interviews with seven paediatric trainees in a university...

PURPOSE To provide a model for assessing occupational therapy workforce needs by using a demand-based approach to determine current workforce status in the Northwest region. Regional information may have implications for addressing national occupational therapy service needs. METHOD A questionnaire was sent to a proportional random sample of 234 facilities that hire occupational therapy pract...

Health reform promotes the delivery of patient-centered care. Occupational therapy's rich history of client-centered theory and practice provides an opportunity for the profession to participate in the evolving discussion about how best to provide care that is truly patient centered. However, the growing emphasis on patient-centered care also poses challenges to occupational therapy's perspecti...
