Global climate change is an alarming problem nowadays. Weather temperatures have been uncertain because of what many scientists claim the effect greenhouse gases, contributed mainly by energy industry. In Malaysia, industry provides a significant contribution to it economy making up about 20 percent GDP. Malaysia third largest natural gas exporter in Asia-Pacific region 2011 and eleventh world ...

This paper compares the cycles in UK sectoral output generated from both univariate and multivariate unobserved components models. Common trends and cycles are found among the sectors and it is found that these help to identify the cycles in the multivariate model. JEL Classi...cation: C32, E32.

This paper documents long-term trends in the sectoral composition of employment and output in the Japanese economy over the last four decades. The share of the manufacturing sector in total employment has declined steadily while the share of service sector employment has trended upward. In real terms, however, the share of the manufacturing sector in the total output has remained stable over th...

This paper provides a two-sector perspective for analyzing the effects of sectoral investment pattern on output growth. The two sectors are transformation and transaction. China and India are used as the empirical cases. We find that the rate differentials in real GDP growth between China and India tend to be positively correlated with the relative share of total investment that take place in t...

in this paper, we introduce the notion of multiplier in -algebra and study relationships between multipliers and some special mappings, likeness closure operators, homomorphisms and ( -derivations in -algebras. we introduce the concept of idempotent multipliers in bl-algebra and weak congruence and obtain an interconnection between idempotent multipliers and weak congruences. also, we introduce...

It is widely believed that the rate of profit across industrial sectors, while not in fact uniform as stipulated in the theory of prices of production, is independent of the sectoral organic composition of capital. It follows that the simple labour theory of value must be systematically in error as a predictor of actual sectoral aggregate prices. We offer empirical evidence from the US economy ...

A key feature of the business cycle data is that output, employment and investment move up and down together in different sectors of the economy. However, standard business cycle models fail to generate this business cycle sectoral co-movement. In this paper we propose a two-sector business cycle model that generates the sectoral cycle co-movement in response to both contemporaneous shocks and ...

We use the Generalized Dynamic Factor Model proposed by Forni et al. [2000] in order to study the dynamics of the rate of growth of output and investment and establish stylized facts of business cycles. By using quarterly firm level data relative to 660 US firms for 20 years, we investigate the number and the features of the underlying forces leading economic growth: evidence suggests the main ...

This Paper has used a multisectoral input-output model of Iranian economy to examine the ability of different sectors of economy to create jobs per unit of output as well as capital. The results reveal that there is no conflict in a growth strategy that simultaneously attempts to improve efficiency i.e. reallocating production to sectors with low DRCs, equity and job creation. Although sectoral...

Background: Despite considerable efforts by the South African government, such as Youth Employment Service (YES) programme, unemployment remains an enigma. Aim: The study seeks to explore responsiveness of sectoral employment changes in output Africa. Setting: We focus on agriculture and informal sectors, with understanding that a large portion (93%) Africa’s unemployed population does not have...
