One of the earliest steps in animal embryogenesis involves establishing the identity of embryonic structures and tissues from head to tail along the anterior-posterior axis. Hox genes encode a family of proteins that have a prominent and broadly conserved role in laying out this developmental roadmap in most animals. For some time, it’s been felt that Hox function was fairly well understood: a ...

This paper aims at assessing the importance of the initial technological endowments when firms decide to create R&D agreements. We study a Bertrand duopoly where firms evaluate the returns of an agreement according to its length. A learning process allows us to depict a close connection between firms’ technology and the possibility to achieve a positive outcome from creating an agreement. Moreo...

Traditionally in natural duality theory the algebras carry no topology and the objects on the dual side are structured Boolean spaces. Given a duality, one may ask when the topology can be swapped to the other side to yield a partner duality (or, better, a dual equivalence) between a category of topological algebras and a category of structures. A prototype for this procedure is provided by the...

In this paper, we deal with partnership among agents in an economic situation with different production skills and abilities where they are free to form coalitions, alliances or partnerships. And from the viewpoints of stability and efficiency we examine the resulting partnership structure. To take into account restrictions on partner selection, various production skills, and environmental chan...

recent Korean governments have attempted to use social partnership as a mechanism to achieve cooperative and peaceful industrial relations and to balance economic effi ciency with social equity in the context of globalisation. This paper has two aims. First it seeks to put the current social partnership experiment in historical perspective and argues that current developments in Korean industri...

employment agencies have gained an increasing significance in matching employment and vacancies in the economy. solo searches by workers, and shorterperiods of employment, have necessarilyadded to the need for third party agents for the matching process in labour markets. thus the existence of these agents and sole agent searches has created a multiplicity of wages across labour . markets. we d...
