Studies of the shifting social organization and geography of global garment production have been critical to development of the commodity chains framework as an important field of study for scholars of political economy in various disciplines. Our paper intervenes in this literat
Modes of Exchange: Gift and Commodity
In order to understand the differences between gift exchange and commodity exchange, it is useful to consider gift exchange in a formal analytical fashion that permits immediate comparison with the standard formal model of commodity exchange. However, this cannot be done without
Diversification benefits of commodities: A stochastic dominance efficiency approach
We revisit the question whether commodities should be included in investors' portfolios. We employ for the first time a stochastic dominance efficiency (SDE) approach to construct optimal portfolios with and without commodities and we evaluate their comparative performance. SDE c
Commodity-by-Commodity Input-Output Matrices: Extensions and Experiences from an Application to Austria
The construction of commodity-by-commodity input-output matrices from Make and Use matrices is a much debated area. Different views compete with each other, both in theoretical aspects as in practical appraisement of the importance of the various issues involved. The commodity-te
Influence in commodity markets: Measuring co‐movement globally
This article focuses on a new measure of global co-movement defined as influence: the average partial correlation of one asset with respect to others. The influence of nominal returns and real price cycles of various commodities is computed for the period of January 1968–December
COVERT: Configurable Virtual Redundancy with Transparent Availability on Commodity Software
Overview Scaling integrated circuit technology into the deep submicron regime is expected to increase both soft and hard error rates significantly [1]. Therefore, providing high availability in the presence of relatively unreliable components is likely to become an increasingly i
Increasing Performance in Commodity IP
Clusters built from commodity hardware and software have several advantages over more traditional supercomputers. Commodity clusters are cheap and ubiquitous, and so they are easier to design, program and maintain. However, even as high-speed networks reach 10Gb/s speeds and mode
Introducing Simplex Mass Balancing Method for Multi-commodity Flow Network with a Separator
Maximization of flow through the network has remained core issue in the field of optimization. In this paper a new advanced network problem is introduced, i.e., a multi-commodity network with a separator. This network consists of several sub-networks linked through a commodity se
Building and Installing a Hadoop/MapReduce Cluster from Commodity Components
This tutorial presents a recipe for the construction of a compute cluster for processing large volumes of data, using cheap, easily available personal computer hardware (Intel/AMD based PCs) and freely available open source software (Ubuntu Linux, Apache Hadoop). Introduction Thi
A model of commodity differentiation with indivisibilities and production
This paper presents an existence theorem in a general equilibrium model of a production economy with commodity differentiation and indivisibilities. The model is motivated by the existence of markets with indivisible commodities, such as the markets for automobiles and computers.
