a r t i c l e i n f o In this work we develop a new approach to study the energy import resilience of an economy using linear programming and economic input–output analysis. In particular, we propose an energy import resilience index by examining the maximum level of energy import reduction that the economy can endure without sacrificing domestic demands. A mixed integer programming model is th...

The objective of this paper is to present a way to incorporate sectoral structure within the measures of regional growth provided by the traditional shift-share analysis. The new tool makes it possible to considerer in the decomposition analysis three new effects: sectoral national effect, sectoral structural effect, and sectoral differential effect. To illustrate the analysis of sectoral struc...

‎in this paper, using the idea of convexificators, we study boundedness and nonemptiness of lagrange multipliers satisfying the first order necessary conditions. we consider a class of nons- mooth fractional programming problems with equality, inequality constraints and an arbitrary set constraint. within this context, define generalized mangasarian-fromovitz constraint qualification and show t...

This paper aims at assessing the supply chain and innovation management in the manufacturing industries in Turkey on an empirical basis. The assessments presented are based on parts of the data and information collected through the execution of the Competitive Strategies and Best Practices Benchmarking Questionnaire in 82 companies from four sectors of the manufacturing industries in Turkey. Re...

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer is a widely used material in engineering applications and expected to be extensively the transportation sector due its light-weight properties. It high value, energy intensive material, which mostly landfilled at End-of-life, however, it could potentially recycled replace virgin different sectors. Therefore, considering also significant amounts of End-of-life air...

Much debate and subsequent confusion have recently been generated regarding the economic importance of the longline fisheries for tuna and swordfish in Hawaii. Depending on the methodology employed, the measures of the economic importance of these fisheries to Hawaii can vary significantly. This paper attempts to provide an assessment of the alternative measures and their implications for fishe...

If the United States chooses to implement a greenhouse gas reduction program, it would be necessary to decide whether to include carbon sequestration policies—such as those that promote forestation and discourage deforestation—as part of the domestic portfolio of compliance activities. We investigate the cost of forest-based carbon sequestration by analyzing econometrically micro-data on reveal...

An intricate dynamic pattern has been commonly observed in many developed countries during the past decades. This pattern contains a simultaneous rise in the following economic variables: (i) education premium, (ii) educated labor supply, (iii) total factor productivity, (iv) labor productivity, and (v) income inequality. Typical explanations for the different elements of this pattern assume a ...

Ukraine became independent in 1991 and formally abandoned central planning. But the development of market methods of input supply and product distribution was impeded by continuing price distortions and the survival of various methods of administrative commodity allocation from the central planning period. This paper outlines the background environment of central planning in Ukraine, reviews th...
