This paper provides empirical evidence on the relationship between exports, and in particular export diversity, and spatial inequality in a developing country context. Using export data from19 sectors within 354 sub-national (magisterial) districts of South Africa, various measures of subnational export diversity are constructed. It is found that it is not only important how much is exported, b...

This paper provides empirical evidence on the relationship between exports, and in particular export diversity, and regional growth in a developing country context. Using export data for 19 sectors from 354 subnational (magisterial) districts of South Africa, we construct various measures of subnational export diversity. We find that it is not only how much that is exported, but also important ...

Given the centrality of make or buy decisions in transaction cost theory, it is important to understand the factors that influence managers’ choices. The empirical evidence to date is unclear as to what conditions influence export managers’ choices to ‘‘make’’ (the direct mode of establishing in-house export channels) versus ‘‘buy’’ (the indirect mode of outsourcing certain services to intermed...

Various proteins with different biological activities have been observed to be translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in an energy- and signal-dependent manner in eukaryotic cells. This nuclear export is directed by nuclear export signals (NESs), typically characterized by hydrophobic, primarily leucine, amino acid residues. Moreover, it has been shown that CRM1/exportin 1 is an export ...

dependent on initial conditions, stochastic elements are also incorporated into the analysis. In this study, the effects of an export subsidy for cotton are analyzed using a linear elasticity model. COMPARATIVE STATICS OF AN The study explicitly addresses the interaction of EXPORT SUBSIDY current domestic policies with the proposed export subsidy. An export subsidy may be a successful The expec...

The mRNA export adaptors provide an important link between multiple nuclear mRNA processing events and the mRNA export receptor TAP/NXF1/Mex67p. They are recruited to mRNA through transcriptional and post-transcriptional events, integrating this information to licence mRNA for export. Subsequently they hand mRNA over to TAP and switch TAP to a higher-affinity RNA-binding state, ensuring its sta...

This paper analyzes export subsidies (price incentives) and export quotas (quantity controls) in the Brander-Spencer (1985) model when policy makers have limited information on demand and cost structures. We examine necessary or sufficient information for policy makers to determine the right policies. It is crucial that they know the elasticity values of the slope of the inverse demand curve an...
