چکیده

I explore the country-speci city of safeguard tari protection for a country that is experiencing a surge of imports from a trading partner with a new technology. I nd that raising the tari against all trading partners welfare-dominates a targeted country-speci c tari increase. This arises because a broad tari increase is more e ective at helping the importing country close the technology gap it faces. Further, a broad tari increase confers an additional bene t to the domestic rm by opening the technology gap faced by rms in other exporting countries. I thank Bob Staiger, Scott Taylor and Yuichi Kitamura for detailed comments and encouragement. I also thank Bob Baldwin, Kim-Sau Chung, Eric French, Limor Golan and seminar participants at the University of WisconsinMadison and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

Seismic Behaviour of RC Knee Joints in Closing and Opening Actions

Knee joints, the beam column connections found at the roof level of a moment resisting frame buildings, are inherently different from conventional interior and exterior beam column connections in the way that forces from adjoining members are transferred into joint and then resisted by the joint. A knee connection has two distinct load resisting mechanisms, each for closing and opening actions ...
