We examine the relationship between market structure and the persistence of US dollar-based sectoral real exchange rates for 14 OECD countries. Our empirical results based on disaggregated data suggest that differences in market structure significantly determine the rates at which deviations from sectoral purchasing power parity decay. Specifically, industries with a larger price-cost margin ar...

A multisectoral global model was constructed on a 35 I-O sectoral basis in 1995 and has extensively been used for various policy analyses. The model, EITF, covers 29 countries and 7 regions with special reference to G7 and Asian countries. World trade can also be analyzed in the same sectoral categories, enabling the analysis of significant changes in foreign trade consistent with those for sec...

The variation of circular microstrip antenna, a Sectoral microstrip antenna is discussed. The detail analysis to study the effects of antenna parameters like, feed point location and the substrate thickness for Sectoral angle increasing from 270 to 340 on the patch first four resonant modes is presented. The variation in angle tunes the spacing between three patch resonant modes which yields op...

The purpose of this paper is to identify challenges to cross-sectoral collaboration based on principals in current organization theory regarding organizational boundaries. The boundarymaintenance function enables organizations to maintain sufficient stability and focus for goal attainment. Organizations periodically adjust their boundaries for tactical and strategic purposes, making participati...

Firm births and deaths are interrelated. Johnson and Parker (1994) have summarized the various causality relationships according to three different effects: (1) the Multiplier, (2) the Competition and (3) the Marshall effect. This article proposes an enlarged analytical framework by introducing the sectoral and cross-sectoral dimensions of firm demography. The expected interrelationships betwee...

A 64-year-old woman with a completely transected posterior sectoral duct following extended hepatectomy underwent a combined operative procedure with interventional radiology and surgery to restore biliary-enteric drainage. The anterior and posterior sectoral ducts were identified, and catheters were inserted into both systems. The posterior sectoral catheter was placed intraoperatively through...
