We assess quantitatively the effect of exogenous reductions in fertility on output per capita. Our simulation model allows for effects that run through schooling, the size and age structure of the population, capital accumulation, parental time input into child-rearing, and crowding of fixed natural resources. The model is parameterized using a combination of microeconomic estimates, data on de...

The current study aims to identify the role of mediator for strategic persuasion in relationship between altruistic leadership and high performance workers Najaf Al-Ashraf Teaching Hospital (German) through applied knowledge frameworks on which relied. In achieving persuasion, address problem study, a set main sub-hypotheses were formulated that are appropriate its objectives, considering as an...

In this age of metamorphosis cultural transition and assimilation, in where everyone one sense or the other is a migrant, issue identity can never be resolved. Iain Chambers (1994) holds that migrancy “calls for dwelling language, histories, identities are constantly subject to mutation” (p. 5). ‘Home’ sometimes becomes provisional location as it fails provide assurance security; hence, many in...

The emphasis of economic development practitioners and researchers is on modern determinants of per capita income such as quality of institutions to support markets, economic policies chosen by governments, human capital components such as education and health, or political factors such as violence and instability. Could this discussion be missing an important, much more long-run dimension to e...

This paper provides the first combined theoretical and empirical analysis of the impact of private school entry on private schools’ strategic choices of quality, addressing the concern that school competition can harm poorer students. I develop a model where schools select their quality when (1) the match between a school and a student affects test scores, and (2) wealthier students’ enrollment...

Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 288: H2557– H2567, 2005; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.01215.2004.—Cardiomyocytes respond to physiological or pathological stress only by hypertrophy and not by an increase in the number of functioning cardiomyocytes. However, recent evidence suggests that adult cardiomyocyt...
