This study employs the bounds test for co-integration and Granger causality tests to investigate the long-run equilibrium relationship between financial development, international trade and real income growth. Furthermore we are intersting in finding the direction of causality among these economic variablesfor the Cyprus economy. The results of the study reveal that financial development as mea...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies have suggested that Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is associated with repetitive trauma, coagulation problems and anatomical abnormalities of the blood supply to the femoral head. The hypothesis that repetitive trauma can affect the blood supply of the femoral head, leading to LCPD, is supported by an animal model. For evidence of an increased risk of ...

Female Labor Supply and Divorce: New Evidence from Ireland If participation in the labor market helps to secure women’s outside options in the case of divorce/separation, an increase in the perceived risk of marital dissolution may accelerate the increase in female labor supply. This simple prediction has been tested in the literature using time and/or spatial variation in divorce legislation (...

Rapid changes in business and the advent of Internet, have made supply chain management (SCM) important in determining the sustainable growth of companies.

Recent industry trends, including outsourcing, offshoring and lean manufacturing that focus on reducing supply chain costs, significantly increase the level of risk in the supply chain. At the same time, a number of leading companies have been successfully transforming their supply chains into robust and resilient supply chains. In this presentation, we examine sources of risks in the supply ch...

This paper deals with the Stackelberg game model based on the buyback contract predominated by the supplier, and the equilibrium solutions to the model are available when wholesale price and maximum buyback rate are determined by the supplier and the order quantity is determined by the retailer with respect to the stochastic market demand. Coordination of different supply chains and risks share...

Recent papers in the concept of Supply Chain Network Design (SCND) have seen a rapid development in applying the stochastic models to get closer to real-world applications. Regaring the special characteristics of each product, the stracture of SCND varies. In tire industry, the recycling and remanufacturing of scraped tires lead to design a closed-loop supply chain. This paper proposes a two-st...
