1. South Africa: Summary of faultlines and action points

We offer a new perspective to the unionised wage effects of unilateral trade liberalisation by considering endogenous domestic market structure. Hence, in contrast to the existing works, which focus on the short-run effects of trade liberalisation on unionised wage, we focus on more long-run effects by considering the effects of trade liberalisation on the domestic market structure. Trade liber...

A new gravity model with the function F (R) = (1/β) arctan (βR− βR) instead of the Ricci scalar in the Einstein–Hilbert action, describing inflation of the Universe, is suggested and analyzed. We obtain constant curvature solutions of the model in the Jordan frame. Performing the conformal transformation of the metric, the potential and the mass of a scalar degree of freedom in the Einstein fra...

This paper presents a control of active suspension for quarter car model with two degree of freedom by using H∞ method. Absolute velocity of car body is measured for feedback. The system parameter variations are treated with multiplicative uncertainty model. Simulation results show that the H∞controller provides good trade-off between ride quality, suspension packaging and road holding constrai...

Already, the formation of the WTO did not halt the proliferation of new RTAs. There has been an enormous increase in Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) in the last twenty years. In fact, RTAs legitimacy is well recognised under GATT/WTO. By their very nature, such arrangements favour imports from members of the grouping and discriminate against imports from other countries. This departure fro...
