The complex topography and high climatic variability of the North Western Mediterranean Basin (NWMB) require a detailed assessment of climate change projections at high resolution. ECHAM5/MPIOM global climate projections for mid-21st century and three different emission scenarios are downscaled at 10 km resolution over the NWMB, using the WRF-ARW regional model. High resolution improves the spa...

This paper explores the effects of monitoring in contracts between an exporting firm and small agricultural producers in Madagascar. Building on a theoretical framework that incorporates both adverse selection and moral hazard, I test for the effect of monitoring of the agents by the principal on productivity, all the while including an estimate of agent-specific technical inefficiency in the r...

The effects of technical progress on relative factor prices in the two-country, two-good, two-factor Heckscher-Ohlin model are investigated. Technical progress is classified according to factor-augmenting bias, factor-using bias, and sector bias. A complete set of relations between technical progress parameters and relative factor prices, depending on the elasticities of substitution in demand ...

This study sought to examine the extent which age at first substance use contributes later addiction severity and how PTSD affects their relationships. The enrolled 315 patients from tertiary services in Rwanda. participants’ mean was 18.64 years (SD = 6.1) old. Age had a significant effect (β − 0.130, p .013) on severity. showed association with 0.363; < .001). variance explained by increased ...
