Applying Johansen cointegration test to U.S. annual data constructed from the EU KLEMS database, the paper documents that the productivities of consumption-goods and equipmentgoods sector are cointegrated. It confirms further, using the non-linear cointegration test framework developed by Kapetanios et al. (2006), that the cointegrating relation is non-linear. The cointegration of sectoral prod...

In this thesis, cross-sectoral networks among government, industry and citizen sectors in two Japanese local sustainable development projects introduced bioenergy will be analyzed and discussed. The research and analysis focus on the contributions by local cross-sectoral networks in the projects. As a result of case studies, the local cross-sectoral networks showed their strengths in interpreta...

AIMS To determine the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness at which visual field (VF) damage becomes detectable and associated with structural loss. METHODS In a prospective cross-sectional study, 72 healthy and 40 glaucoma subjects (one eye per subject) recruited from an academic institution had VF examinations and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) optic disc cube s...

It has been shown that over a 20 year period of time the OECD countries have converged in terms of their aggregate technological effort, but this trend covers diverging patterns of sectoral innovative activities even for the countries at the forefront of the " convergence club " (Archibugi and Pianta 1994). This evidence supports the relevance of the National Systems of Innovation (NSI) perspec...

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,...
