abstract growth quality index (qgi) is affected by two sets of structural and social composite indicators. structural indicator contributes to achieve the main target of sound, sustainable, and competitive output growth. by the way, the sound output growth should enhance social public services and living standard. although qgis are computed based on different scenarios, the trend of the qgis an...

This paper develops a model in which a rapid expansion of the quality frontier by rich countries pushes poorer countries down the quality ladder and thereby leads to a widening dispersion of quality around the world as well as sluggish growth in poorer countries. This paper documents these features in the data, such as a recent rise in the dispersion of quality exported around the world between...

We analyze the dynamic interaction between civil society organizations and Government in a representative developing economy. Government favors corruption and so fails to build efficient institutions. On its side, civil society exerts pressure on Government to constrain it to halt corruption. We distinguish between an authoritarian Government and an unrestrictive one: the latter does not repres...

objective: the aim of this experiment was to determine chemical composition, protein quality of corn gluten meal (cgm) and its effect on growth performance of broiler chicks. methods: chemical composition and nitrogen corrected true metabolizable energy of cgm was determined by standard and precision-fed cockerel assay methods.  for evaluating of protein quality, 90 male broiler chicks in a com...

for determination of water stress effects in different growth stages of sugar beet and optimum water usage on quantity and quality of sugar beet, this study was performed using randomized complete blocks design in factorial experiment with 12 treatments and 4 replications from 1999 to 2001 in agricultural research center of hamadan. the first factor was non-irrigation in 3 stages of growth (s1-...

the influence of vam fungi and bacterial biofertilizer (bbf) with 50% reduction in the recommended dose of (n and p) chemical fertilizers on leaf quality traits of mulberry variety (s-13) and its impact on silkworm (pm ? nb4d2) growth and cocoon characters were studied under semi-arid conditions. four different treatments were imposed i.e., t1: control (only 100% npk); t2: vam (50% cut in p); t...

UV-B radiation and EOD light (EOD) quality has both signaling and damaging effects based on the dosage and time of exposure. At highland areas UV-B decreases crop productivity and also light quality increase at high elevation area but EOD light quality effect was not researched based on altitude. Therefore, in the present study a field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of UV-B...
