This paper discusses the occurrence of skill-enhancing technology import, namely the relationship between imports of embodied technology and widening skill-based employment di¤erentials in low and middle-income countries. GMM techniques are applied to an original panel dataset comprising 28 manufacturing sectors for 23 countries over a decade. Econometric results provide robust evidence of the ...

This article analyzes the behavior of Free Trade Agreement signed between Colombia and Northern Triangle countries. It is based on hypothesis that, because there an agreement countries South, similar global development conditions reduce asymmetries in terms trade, characteristics North-South agreements. To evaluate hypothesis, this analyzed trade flows last ten years (2010 – 2019), different in...

Modern trends of trade-economic relations the countries within COVID-19 pandemic have been systemized in development mutual particular economy sectors identified. Direct connection between increase export volume to China and Ukraine GDP growth has established study based on correlation-regression analysis. Weaknesses strengths as well opportunities threats defined. The influence world crisis, c...

Our study investigates the firmand country-specific factors that affect the link between foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade. Specifically, we address the questions “do countryand firmspecific characteristics matter in Japanese FDI trade links?” and “do the counts and values of FDI that are often alternatively used in the empirical work convey the same message about this link?” Empiricall...

The Belt and Road Initiative was proposed by China in 2013 as a response to sluggish global economic growth. With most countries along the being developing countries, it is crucial strengthen trade cooperation agricultural products. However, current literature lacks an analysis of competitiveness complementarity products these countries. This study aims fill this gap showing that has reduced ex...

In this paper, by using the exponential convexity property of a barrier function, we propose an infeasible interior-point method for Cartesian P_*(k) horizontal linear complementarity problem over symmetric cones. The method uses Nesterov and Todd full steps, and we prove that the proposed algorithm is well define. The iteration bound coincides with the currently best iteration bound for the Ca...

Biodiversity conservation “area-selection” strategies include not only trade-offs among society’s needs in land-use allocation, but also allocation of economic instruments such as incentives, levies, and biodiversity credits. For these applications, the key property of an area is its “complementarity”—the context-dependent, marginal gain in biodiversity provided by the area. Given that there ha...

In this paper, we propose an arc-search corrector-predictor interior-point method for solving $P_*(kappa)$-linear complementarity problems. The proposed algorithm searches the optimizers along an ellipse that is an approximation of the central path. The algorithm generates a sequence of iterates in the wide neighborhood of central path introduced by Ai and Zhang. The algorithm does not de...
