GLOBAL EXPERIENCE OF INDUSTRIAL POLICY MODELS’ IMPLEMENTATION

Implementation of a Health Policy Advisory Committee as a Knowledge Translation Platform: The Nigeria Experience

Background In recent times, there has been a growing demand internationally for health policies to be based on reliable research evidence. Consequently, there is a need to strengthen institutions and mechanisms that can promote interactions among researchers, policy-makers and other stakeholders who can influence the uptake of research findings. The Health Policy Advisory Committee (HPAC) is on...

The Importance of Industrial Policy in Quality-Ladder Growth Models

We extend the class of quality-ladder growth models (Grossman-Helpman (1991), Segerstrom (1998) and others), to encompass an economy with asymmetric fundamentals. In contrast with the standard framework, in our model industries may differ in terms of their innovative potential (quality jumps and arrival rates) and consumers’ preferences. This extension allows us to bring industrial policy back ...

Implementation of Models for reheating processes in industrial furnaces

Components were developed for the modeling of industrial furnaces in the iron and steel industry like pusher-type and walking beam furnaces. A cell model on the basis of the dynamic pipe model of the Modelica Fluid Library was designed. The cell model computes the heat transfer between furnace walls, flue gas and the processed steel goods. The radiative heat transfer is modeled by a 1-dimension...
