We develop a dynamic general equilibrium model with two-sided limited commitment to study how barriers to competition, such as restrictions to business start-up, a¤ect the incentive to accumulate human capital. We show that a lack of contract enforceability ampli…es the e¤ect of barriers to competition on human capital accumulation. High barriers reduce the incentive to accumulate human capital...

bioactive products from snail slime of “helix” specie have potential applications in preventing and/or treating several human diseases and in cancer diagnosis. however, the poor pharmacokinetics characteristics of these natural compounds limit their use. nanotechnology offers promising solutions for the enhanced formulation of these molecules through the synthesis of nanosized drug delivery sys...

t-shape profile barriers are one of the most successful barriers among many different profiles. it has been shown that using welled diffusers on the top of t-shaped barriers makes a reactive barrier that shows better performance than that of any other used profile barriers compared with their equivalent absorbent barrier. the contribution of the top surface of reactive t-profile barriers to the...
