The paper presents a theory of the industrial transformation amongst sectors along the balanced growth path equilibrium, using endogenous growth theory. Allowing only a slight upward trend in the productivity of the human capital sector, combined with ascending degrees of human capital shares of sectoral output, in say, agriculture, manufacturing and services, output gradually shifts relatively...

Many technologies used by the LDCs are developed in the OECD economies and are designed to make optimal use of the skills of these richer countries’ workforces. Differences in the supply of skills create a mismatch between the requirements of these technologies and the skills of LDC workers, and lead to low productivity in the LDCs. Even when all countries have equal access to new technologies,...

In this paper, I analyze a dynamic model of a firm’s joint decisions to export and innovate, allowing both decisions to affect the firm’s production in accordance with selfselection and learning-by-exporting theories of firm-level export and production dynamics. I calibrate the model using Chilean manufacturing plant data from 2005 to 2007 and find that self-selection and learning-by-exporting ...

Bacteriol. 88:1240-1243. 1964.-Ethanol in a concentration of 85% permits separation from crude culture supernatant fluids of the common enterobacterial antigen and the O antigen, the former being ethanol-soluble, the latter being ethanol-...

We set up an endogenous growth model with physical capital, human capital and blueprints for intermediate goods. The model can generate steady-state growth or stagnation. Along the adjustment path for a developing economy we can distinguish di!erent stages of development. The "rst stage is characterized by physical factor accumulation. At the second stage the economy follows a growth path which...

Injuries suffered in vehicle traffic crashes are the leading cause of death among children in many countries. Prevention of injuries of children in raod accidents is still a challenge. The present lecture discuss the commonly injuried body regions in children involved in motor and non-motor vehicle traffic crashes. Head, ribs and lung are commonly injured body regions among children under 8 yea...

Results We studied 232 children (147 M/85 F) aged 1.25 16.7 years. Negative results were found in 50 (21.6%) with Der p 1, 53 (22.8%) with Der p 2, 208 (89.7%) with Der p 10, and 29 with all three (12.5%). There were 24 patients with positive IgE to Der p 10: three of these had IgE values of 6.1 to 11 kUA/L to Der p 10 and negative results to Der p 1 and 2 (0.1 to 0.18), three had much higher I...

This paper takes the neoclassical infant industry model, allows agents to respond to future expectations, and reveals previously unexplained relationships between protection and outcome. Policy, which projects to protect the industry until international competitiveness, may not necessarily succeed, consistent to the mixed empirical evaluations. To guarantee success, protection has to last longe...

Technological latecomer countries face a dilemma, they need to pursue pro-active industrial policies to compensate for manifold disadvantages vis-à-vis established competitors, but at the same time, due to neopatrimonial politics and capacity constraints, their institutions are rarely in a position to correct market failure effectively. Do the risks of misallocation outweigh the benefits and sh...

Escherichia coli O14 is one of the few strains of Enterobacteriaceae which in the rabbit engender antibodies in high titers against the common enterobacterial antigen (CA). It is a rough strain that does not possess a specific side chain in its lipopolysaccharide structure (rfa+rfb-). An rfa mutant (rfa-rfb-) was isolated from this parental strain. Chemical analysis revealed the absence of one ...
