Politics in the neoliberal/modern/Western world is structured based upon assumption that political subjects are atomistic and self-sufficient; these assumptions suppress deny (inter) dependency, relationality vulnerability. Yet, rapid spread of COVID-19 has devastated many communities, drastically changed social life, foregrounded ways which vulnerability an inescapable fact our existence. Draw...

Abstract: In this paper we investigate the effects of volatility of the fundamental determinants of trade on trade flows in México during the period 1991-2008. Our import and export functions are based on the well known imperfect substitute goods model of trade. We focus on the effects of real exchange rate as well as measures of relative prices and real income and their associated conditional ...

abstract in the present study, agricultural sector import was forecasted by using the econometric and the ann methods. import data from 1971 to 2004 and 2004-2009 was used for forecasting, network training and testing forecast accuracy, respectively. the results shown that feed-forward neural network has much less error and better performance than the arima and the var methods. on the basis of ...

the impact of price changes (at a level of market) on the other market levels (transfer of prices) will affect welfare of producers, marketing agents as well as consumers. in this study, asymmetric tea market is investigated through an application of johansen co-integration analysis and error correction model (ecm model) to time series of 1976-2009. co integration method used in the import mark...

In addition, it seems clear that different national governments have pursued different policies toward the preferred level of the real exchange rate. Some countries appear committed to keeping the real value of their currencies Acompetitive@, that is relatively weak (depreciated). Others seem not to be particularly concerned about the impact of their exchange rates on export or import competiti...

With the real exchange rate elasticity of processing net exports being positively related to the processing trade intensity, the modified Marshall-Lerner condition states that a real exchange rate appreciation tends to increase rather than reduce net exports, as long as the composite export elasticity with respect to import via the real exchange rate is sufficiently large. The estimated cointeg...

Since China has been Iran's most important trading partner in recent years, the present study has attempted to investigate the effect of bilateral real exchange rate fluctuations on the trade relationship between Iran and China during the period 1992-2017. To investigate this relationship, the business data in the export and import sectors were divided into 15 major commodity segments, and the ...

PMPs (peroxisome membrane proteins) play essential roles in organelle biogenesis and in co-ordinating peroxisomal metabolism with pathways in other subcellular compartments through transport of metabolites and the operation of redox shuttles. Although the import of soluble proteins into the peroxisome matrix has been well studied, much less is known about the trafficking of PMPs. Pex3 and Pex19...
