This article tests experimentally whether a high degree of collusion on advertisement expenditures facilitate tacit price collusion in duopoly markets. Two environments are tested, in which the size of the spillover between advertising expenditures is varied. The results show that the competitiveness of advertising and prices are significantly higher when the advertising spillover is higher tha...

This essay introduces a new featured section, to be published in Small Axe annually, that explores the critical vocabulary of field Caribbean studies.

This paper examines the effects of technology spillover from FDI based on panel data analysis of Chinese large-scale domestic manufacturing industries. We use the panel data of 27 Chinese manufacturing industries from 2001 to 2007. We estimate technology spillover effects by two steps. First, we estimate the total factor productivity of domestic firms’ and foreign firms’ by Cobb-Douglas Product...

The aim of the present study was to estimate spillover effects between the work and the family sphere in a sample of nurses (N = 2058). Hierarchical regression analyses investigated whether shift work schedules were associated with negative or positive spillover, both from family to work and vice versa, controlling for demographic factors, job demands and decision latitude. With daytime work as...

Experiments were performed in a three-phase bubble column to study variations of bubble rise velocities. The dynamic gas disengagement (DGD) technique and the fast response pressure transducers were utilized to investigate the bubble rise in the column. The superficial gas velocity of large bubbles and small bubbles, the rise velocities of larger and small bubble fractions were studied consider...

The spillover phenomenon, which essentially involves transfer of H from a metal catalyst to a graphitic receptor, has been considered promising for efficient hydrogen storage. An open question about the spillover mechanism is how a H atom binds to graphene instead of forming the thermodynamically preferred H(2). Using ab initio calculations, we show that the catalyst saturation provides a way t...

Bubbles in asset prices have fascinated researchers in finance. Identify asset bubbles, by circumstances, on the stock market has been a growing number of research theoretical and empirical. On a theoretical level, it was assumed that the price dynamics reflect irrational behavior of economic agents and, therefore, should be excluded from a deal with the truly rational economic agents Burmeiste...

In this paper, parametric technology display and a mathematical model of technology spillover as a different approach based on the technology changes would be discussed. The recently action that will be accomplished through formation matrices of technological changes, measure of technology spillover and other concepts along with a variety of matrices types. Several examples are given and the re...

Abstract “Queer” is a relatively recent and somewhat controversial term in African studies. Yet it proving to be productive, not only for understanding subjectivities of sexuality gender, but also situating Africa’s position the larger economy knowledge. Otu van Klinken explore productive tensions between “queer” “Africa,” aim read Africa as queer from Africa. Thus, rather than imagining polar ...
