This chapter examines South Africa’s growth performance since 1994 within a growth-accounting framework, and assesses growth prospects going forward.1 Near-term prospects can be captured by potential output growth and the output gap (the difference between actual and potential output). Together with other indicators, this can provide an indication of the intensity of resource utilization and in...

the south ossetia crisis leading to military hostilities between russia and georgia has turned into one of the complicated crises in the caucasus and at the world level since the disintegration of the soviet :union:. this crisis should be considered as the harbinger of a new stage in the international relations arena in the transition from the cold war era. hence, it can be suggested that the c...

in this study, the situation of iran, u.s and turkey's pistachio export is investigated. to this purpose, revealed comparative advantage (rca) index is calculated based on agricultural and total economy export, separately, then forecasted by using auto- regressive integrated moving average (arima) approached, for 2008-2013. the results show that considering both commodity baskets, turkey and ir...

the cycle of protests that swept the united states beginning in 2010 has its roots in the growing disillusionment of a significant portion of the american populace in the prospects and opportunities for growth and development. despite the extensive myopia of various sectors of the american public vis a vis the rest of the world, if there is one thing much of the american public holds dear is th...

Although a large number of evolutionary algorithms have been proposed to efficiently treat multimodal problems, it is currently unclear under what conditions they can be faster than iterated local search algorithms. We tackle this question, assuming we had means to efficiently and errorlessly determine the corresponding basin of attraction for each individual (basin identification) by employing...

We apply an organizational embeddedness perspective to examine international assignees’ retention with the organization. Specifically, we hypothesize that assignees’ social ties within and their perceived fit with the host unit positively relate to two sacrifices with leaving the organization: their firmspecific learning during the assignment and their perceived career prospects in the organiza...
