We provide firm-level evidence concerning four key facts of services trade in Germany. First, not only firms classified as service firms, but also firms from all industries export and import services. Second, service trade patterns are fairly similar to those in goods trade. Most notably, service trade is dominated by a few large firms that serve many countries, sell several service products, a...

We use hand-collected data on a sample of German public firms during 2011-2014 to show that firms use currency derivatives more often when they export or import, and especially when exchange-rate fluctuations are larger, but to a lesser extent when having high export and import shares simultaneously. We interpret this finding as evidence of operational hedging that arises as foreign-denominated...

While import-substituting industrialization policy constitute the basis for the industrialization strategies of the 1960s and 1970s in Turkey, this policy was no longer sustainable by the 1980s. For this reason, export-oriented industrialization policy was adopted with the decisions taken on January 24, 1980. In other words, the post-1980 period, Turkey's economy has adopted outwardoriented ind...

We then turn to a recent u-turn on his part, in which he winds up rescinding his commitment toModus Ponens, on the grounds of a tension with the rule of Import-Export for conditionals. Here we offer an important positive contribution to the literature, settling the following crucial question that Bradley leaves unanswered: Assuming that one gives up on full-blown Modus Ponens on the grounds of ...

Nuclear pore complexes serve as the gateways between the nucleus and cytoplasm, and control the movement of macromolecules between these two subcellular compartments. Although microinjection studies have shown that the nuclear pore complex can allow free diffusion of globular proteins up to about 50 kDa, the import of most nuclear proteins, as well as the export of all classes of RNA, are both ...

Importin beta is a major mediator of import into the cell nucleus. Importin beta binds cargo molecules either directly or via two types of adapter molecules, importin alpha, for import of proteins with a classical nuclear localization signal (NLS), or snurportin 1, for import of m3G-capped U snRNPs. Both adapters have an NH2-terminal importin beta-binding domain for binding to, and import by, i...

The forecast of volumes of import and export containers is one of the most important issues for government transportation departments and seaport organizations. Although a number of studies focus on the subject of forecast of import and export containers in the past, most of these studies do not consider the forecast error due to the “non-stationary”relationship between the volumes of import an...

this paper establishes new support for implementing outward oriented trade policies by relating industrial sector growth, trade policy orientation and export growth in 36 developing countries,including iran using a logistic growth function. based on thisstudy the use of stronglyoutward oriented policies towards export is likly relatedto a faster growth ofthe share of industrial output in gdp as...

The phenylanine-glycine (FG)-rich regions of several nucleoporins both bind to nuclear transport receptors and collectively provide a diffusion barrier to the nuclear pores. However, the in vivo roles of FG nucleoporins in transport remain unclear. We have inactivated 30 putative nucleoporins in cultured Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells by RNA interference and analyzed the phenotypes on importi...
