this paper is analysing the role of economic reforms on the labour market in iranian industry in economic reform period (1990-2005), and in turn, it is comparing it with closed economic period (1979-1989). in order to do the above comparative analysis, the manufacturing industry has been categorized based on hecksher-ohlin and gause methodology. accordingly, we have some industrial groups, incl...

I investigate the long-run implications of trade and technology diffusion through trade, when firms are heterogeneous and trade is costly. The paper integrates firm heterogeneity and trade into product innovation growth models from endogenous growth theory. Two specifications of the R&D process are considered. In the first, R&D uses labor and intermediate goods; in the second, it uses labor and...

International Trade and Economic Growth: Evidence from Singapore Clarence Jun Khiang Tan One of the frequently cited, though hotly contested, determinants of economic growth is exposure to international trade. This study focusses on Singapore, a country with high per capita GDP growth rates and high trade exposure to explore the relationship between these two variables. I use a cross-country da...

The recent Covid-19 pandemic has swept the globe. As a result, there been spike in number of relative poor who are experiencing economic hardships. This poses predicament for unbankable, reducing their options to apply funding via banking products. With available financial capacity, zakat institutions viewed as closest alternative terms being source funding, either through microfinacing method ...

We explore the consequences of placing the Standard Model gauge fields in the bulk of the recently proposed localized gravity model of Randall and Sundrum. We find that the Kaluza Klein excitations of these fields are necessarily strongly coupled and we demonstrate that current precision electroweak data constrain the lowest states to lie above ' 23 TeV. Taking the weak scale to be ∼ 1 TeV, the...

A new gravity model with the function F (R) = (1/β) arctan (βR− βR) instead of the Ricci scalar in the Einstein–Hilbert action, describing inflation of the Universe, is suggested and analyzed. We obtain constant curvature solutions of the model in the Jordan frame. Performing the conformal transformation of the metric, the potential and the mass of a scalar degree of freedom in the Einstein fra...

strategic coalition is a model for regional development and new regionalism. in this process, multinational corporation has basic role for economic partnership with national and regional countries. this trend have been for in formed free trade association situation. regional organizations and frameworks can help determine the perceived regional and global development. global framework activitie...

This paper analyzes the simplest neoclassical economy in which agents have finite lives and there is sustained per capita growth. The growth rate of the world economy depends upon countries' savings propensities and common technology. Trade can reverse an economy's autarkic growth trajectory, and a country with a high savings rate runs a current account surplus. If a surplus country expands agg...
