Sectoral crediting mechanisms such as sectoral no-lose targets have been proposed as a way to provide incentives for emission reductions in developing countries as part of an international climate agreement, and scale up carbon trading from the project-level Clean Development Mechanism to the sectoral level. Countries would generate tradable emission credits (offsets) for reducing emissions in ...

The interrelation between changes in the economic structure, i.e., industrial distribution of income and labor force, and the size distribution of income i s studied in this paper in a case study of India (1951-1980). The change in the size distribution of income i s the sum of changes due to ( 1 ) inter-sectoral factors and ( 2 ) intra-sectoral factors. The need for this distinction i s emphas...

this paper examines the lewis theory of structural change in iran in the period 1974-2005. where labor productivity growth and the intensive use of labor occurs via reallocation of labor between sectors or spillovers in the production from the manufacturing or service sectors to agriculture resulting to convergence. assessing whether productivity gap is reducing or increasing, takes us to the n...

Latecomer sectors in late-industrializing economies follow different patterns in their development and growth processes, which largely determine the share acquired from the global value chain. The development and growth process of the sectors are generally argued to be the result of the interaction of a macro-level specific institutional context (e.g., system of intellectual property rights, la...

Cross-sectoral collaboration between actors is essential when planning station districts for transit-oriented development. However, power relations and the resulting dominance of selected complicate collaborative processes necessary integration transportation urban planning. Despite previous problematization in planning, dedicated research lacking on districts. This article aims to tackle this ...

IT is the general opinion that, in eyes suffering from closed-angle glaucoma, goniosynechiae are not uncommon, especially if such eyes have had an acute or sub-acute attack of hypertension. The present investigation has been undertaken to ascertain whether these goniosynechiae are distributed at random round the angle or, as clinical impression suggests, tend to occur more in the upper than the...

The aim of this study is to analyse differences and similarities in industrial relations systems in nine sectors across the European member states to identify the prospects of the European Sectoral Social Dialogue (ESSD). Industrial relations in Europe are characterised by increasing diversity within national systems and by functional convergence between them. Increased diversification is cause...

Resilience narratives have gathered increased attention in city-regional planning over the last two decades, emphasizing holistic foresight, long-term strategic visioning, cross-sectoral integration and collaborative modes of planning. Combining such resilience with established idea socio-spatial imaginaries, we introduce novel concept ‘resilience imaginaries’ explore its application city-regio...

The assumption of linearity is tested using six statistical tests for the US unemployment rate and four employment sectoral shares growth rates; construction, finance, manufacturing and trade. An AR(p) model was used to remove any linear structure from the series. Strong evidence of non-linearity was found for the unemployment rate and the sectoral shares across the six statistical tests.
