This study builds a multi-sectoral balance-of-payments-constrained growth model that incorporates structural heterogeneity between sectors and countries, such as differences in labor productivity, price competition, shares of exports and imports, and the quality of commodities. The model in the current paper generates more comprehensive results than those presented by Thirlwall (1979), Blecker ...

One of the key differences between developed and developing economies is that the ‘IT Productivity Paradox’ (the relatively slow growth of economic and firm productivity despite advances in IT) is still evident in developing economies. End-to-End (E2E) solutions are seen as a way of improving process and firm productivity by concurrently implementing IT systems and process improvements, and are...

Many policy problems such as climate change, water pollution, or biodiversity loss originate in one sector location but deploy their effects elsewhere and so require comprehensive regulation tha...

As a coastal emerging country, export-led marine economy has been the development model of Vietnam over past decades since The Renovation 1986.

This article examines the involvement pattern in global value chains (GVCs) with its policy implication in Vietnam, in comparison with those of the other Asian countries, by using the OECD value-added-trade data. The study first identified the “smile curve” as the average pattern of the Asian GVCs development paths in total manufactures, in which the domestic value share to exports declines at ...

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of technology transfer through the imports of intermediate goods by developing countries developed countries with the emphasis on Iran economy. For this purpose, we used multi-sectoral and multi–regional computable general equilibrium GTAP model (multi-sectoral and multi-regional CGE model). The paper examined the effect of a ten pe...

Integrating the ecosystem services (ES) concept into land-use planning has been focus of researchers in recent years. Forwarding this objective order to foster human well-being, urban and regional became research efforts. Furthermore, governance beneficial studying coupling processes. Thus, explorative case study we have analysed two studies – Rostock Munich gain insights about role value among...
