Recent studies in the tradition of Schmookler have re-emphasised the potential role of demand in stimulating innovation. Here, we reconsider the role of ‘home’ and ‘export’ market demand in stimulating manufacturing innovation using comparable panel data for two small open economies – Ireland and Switzerland. Our analysis is based on the estimation of reduced form innovation production function...

ارزیابی خشک‌سالی، ازنظر زمانی و مکانی، برای برنامه‌ریزی‌های کاهش خسارات در استان کردستان اهمیت بسیاری دارد. این تحقیق، از شاخص بارش استانداردشده همچنین، پوشش گیاهی بارزشدة استخراجی تصاویر ماهواره‌ای، به‌منزلة پارامتر تعیین‌کنندة استفاده شده است. به‌این‌منظور، داده‌های آماری ایستگاه‌های هواشناسی شامل حداکثر دمای ماهیانه، مجموع سالیانه نیز سنجندة مادیس به‌کار رفته با مقایسة پارامترهای میانگین سال...

Since the 1980s, world has been increasingly connected and integrated. The concept of distance revived by efficiency communication transportation, transforming into a global community. Globalization's footprints are becoming visible with passage time. Aside from other aspects, ever-increasing globalization is altering women's life. Involvement in work force considered as an important indicator ...

This study analyzes Sub-Saharan Africa through the framework of globalization. The study‘s objective is to determine whether globalization is a significant factor when associated with economic growth in the region. Using panel data from 1995-2005 for 41 countries and the KOF globalization index, an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model was employed to examine the relationship between globalization...

In batch cultures of four Mediterranean strains (from France, Italy, and Spain) of Alexandrium catenella (Whedon et Kof.) Balech growing on a daily light cycle, ammonium and urea uptake were estimated by the (15) N tracer technique. Ammonium uptake could be described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics along a substrate gradient of 0.1-10 μgat N · L(-1) for the four strains, while two different patter...

This paper empirically investigates the influence of globalization on various aspects of labor market deregulation. I employ the data set by Bassanini and Duval (2006) on labor market institutions in OECD countries and the KOF index of globalization. The data set covers 20 OECD countries in the 1982-2003 period. The results suggest that globalization did neither influence the unemployment repla...

We present a novel approach for secure evaluation of encrypted Boolean functions on encrypted bits. Building upon Barrington’s work to transform circuits to group programs and the Feige-Kilian-Naor cryptographic protocol, our novel Fixed Structure Group Program construction for secure evaluation eliminates the need for an expensive Universal Circuit to hide the function. Elements on the Black s...

This paper focuses on two major aspects of globalization: international trade and FDI and their impacts on manufacturing employment in Iran and study whether foreign direct investment and trade expansion with Asian and European partner played any role in shaping the Iranian manufacturing employment structure. This study incorporates globalization (KOF index), trade integration and FDI into a si...
