Abstract This paper argues that, as far the investment behavior of non-financial corporations is concerned, apparent continuity over last four decades suggested by corporate financialization label misleading. Indeed, while disconnection between profitability and a robust stylized fact for most period, with cumulative detrimental consequences labor, we contend that underlying mechanisms changed ...

In this paper we try to present the main trends of evolution of the ICT sector. Its dynamics, supported by a constant technical progress in ICs, compounded with “non convexities” such as network effects and high sunk costs, may either lead to a Schumpeter Mark I or Schumpeter Mark II competition regime. This means that in some segments, the market will be more competitive (Mark I), while in oth...

In the rst part of the paper, I present a new treatment of the imperfective paradox (Dowty 1979) for the restricted case of trajectory-of-motion events. This treatment extends and re-nes those of Moens and Steedman (1988) and Jackendoo (1991). In the second part, I describe an implemented algorithm based on this treatment which determines whether a speciied sequence of such events is or is not ...

The low-energy D = 4, N = 1 effective action of the strongly coupled heterotic string is explicitly computed by compactifying Hořava-Witten theory on the deformed Calabi-Yau threefold solution due to Witten. It is shown that, to order κ, the Kähler potential is identical to that of the weakly coupled theory. Furthermore, the gauge kinetic functions are directly computed to order κ and shown to ...

During the last decades, the production enterprises have gone through a strong global change in terms of shorter product life cycles, fluctuations in the order income and increased demand of customized products. Basically, a company needs to develop appealing products in terms of cost and quality that are brought to the market in timely manner. As many studies show that over 70% of the total li...
