Comparative Advantage and Competitive Advantage:
There is a considerable amount of controversy about the model(s) of comparative advantage and its applicability to international business, in particular as a guide to the success of nations and/or firms in international markets. This perception (or understanding) of inapplicability of the model(s) of comparative advantage has lead international business experts to develop new models, or what ma...
متن کاملPower-laws and Non-Power-laws in Dark Matter Halos
Simulated dark matter profiles are often modelled as a ‘NFW’ density profile rather than a single power law. Recently, attention has turned to the rather rigorous power-law behaviour exhibited by the ‘pseudo phase-space density’ of the dark matter halo, which is defined dimensionally in terms of the local density and velocity dispersion of the dark matter particles. The non-power-law behaviour ...
متن کاملSIFT: A simple algorithm for tracking elephant flows, and taking advantage of power laws
The past ten years have seen the discovery of a number of “power laws” in networking. When applied to network trafic, these laws imply the following 80-20 rule: 80% of the work is brought by 20% of the flows; in particular, 80% of Internet packets are generated by 20% of the flows. Heavy advantage could be taken of such a statistic if we could identify the packets of these dominant flows with m...
متن کاملComparative Advantage, Complexity, and Volatility∗
Less developed countries tend to experience higher output volatility, a fact that is in part explained by their specialization in more volatile sectors. This paper proposes theoretical explanations for this pattern of specialization – with the complexity of the goods playing a central role. Specifically, less developed countries with lower institutional ability to enforce contracts, or alternat...
متن کاملCareer Progression and Comparative Advantage
This paper constructs and structurally estimates a dynamic occupational choice model that has two distinct features. First, an occupation is vertically and horizontally differentiated by a multidimensional task complexity measure. This allows a simultaneous analysis of career progression and comparative advantage. Second, the model includes hundreds of occupations by characterizing all jobs by ...
