Abstract A novel multilateral well for coalbed methane extraction was proposed in the study. There is a main wellbore at longitudinal center of coal seam and four lateral wells horizontal multilateral-well system. Compared with traditional drainage holes, system has better performance on development. hydraulic-mechanical coupling model established, pressure permeability ratio distribution gas p...

This paper explores the existing arrangements for multilateral regulation of large firms, and makes the case for balancing strengthened global corporate property rights with more explicit and enforceable social obligations.

The existing multilateral trade architecture reflects that assumption. Much of the recent criticism of the multilateral trade regime has arisen as a result of new groups explicitly asking domestic politicians for protection. As these groups were not expecte...

The overall change in computing from manipulation to delegation was already predicted in the mid-90s but hitherto remains a bold vision. Although software agents have the potential of fully automating processes, real world agent-based applications are very limited in number. Even in the case of electronic markets software agents are rarely employed, albeit they can act as autonomous representat...

We study in this paper the welfare effects of different types of trade agreements and the equilibrium outcome of trade negotiation, when the objective of each government is politically motivated. We explore a three-country and three-good trade model with endogenous tariffs and export subsidies in a political economy framework. In this context, we suggest that the welfare effects of both bilater...

We analyse two potential effects arising from regional (and with EU) integration—increased quality of institutions (including the quality of financial institutions) and, economic policies and reduced multilateral exchange rate volatility—in a conditional convergence growth framework for MENA countries. To this purpose we outline an ad hoc methodology which implements the traditional bilateral e...
