Focusing on the natural rubber industry, this paper collects relevant data from 2007 to 2021 and calculates Indicative Comparative Advantage Index (RCA) Trade Complementarity (TC) conduct a competitive analysis complementarity of China-ASEAN. The calculation results show that in China Singapore have relative disadvantages, ASEAN countries led by Thailand India Nisi comparative advantages, so th...

As trade partners, China in Southeast Asia and Ghana Africa both play a major role the China–Africa economic cooperation have strengthened their bilateral trade. The between has progressed, there currently exists large agricultural product two countries. become one of Ghana’s largest trading partners recent decades, stronger. This paper analyses comparative advantage complementarity products te...

An infeasible interior-point algorithm for solving the$P_*$-matrix linear complementarity problem based on a kernelfunction with trigonometric barrier term is analyzed. Each (main)iteration of the algorithm consists of a feasibility step andseveral centrality steps, whose feasibility step is induced by atrigonometric kernel function. The complexity result coincides withthe best result for infea...

We use mixed-complementarity-problem programming to implement tariff rate quotas (TRQs) in the global computable general equilibrium (CGE) LINKAGE model. We apply the approach to TRQs in sugar markets in OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries. We calibrate the model on 2000 policy levels for OECD countries to reflect the full implementation of their World Trade O...

General principles from coexistence theory are often invoked to explain how and why mixtures of species outperform monocultures. However, the complementarity and selection effects commonly measured in biodiversity experiments do not precisely quantify the niche and relative fitness differences that govern species coexistence. Given this lack of direct correspondence, how can we know whether spe...

Neutrino telescopes of kilometer size are currently being planned. They will be two or three orders of magnitude bigger than presently operating detectors, but they will have a much higher muon energy threshold. We discuss the trade-off between area and energy threshold for indirect detection of neutralino dark matter captured in the Sun and in the Earth and annihilating into high energy neutri...

We investigate the strategic incentives for vertical foreign direct investment by oligopolistic firms under exchange rate uncertainty. Domestic final good firms meet their input requirements either by investing abroad and producing directly through a subsidiary (intra-firm trade) or by buying from an oligopolistic market abroad (inter-firm trade). Firms undertaking vertical investment can bid u...

We analyze the relative growth performance of open economies in a two-country model where di¤erent endowments of labor and a natural resource generate asymmetric trade. A resource-rich economy trades resource-based intermediates for …nal manufacturing goods produced by a resource-poor economy. Productivity growth in both countries is driven by endogenous innovations. The e¤ects of a sudden incr...
