the purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of import of technology on iranian economy. we have used multi-sectoral and multi–regional computable general equilibrium gtap model. transfer of technology from one region to another is another factor effecting productivity. trade is one of the channels that speeds the transfer of technology. the effect of a ten percent productivity shock, in...

BACKGROUND Computable general equilibrium models are known as a powerful instrument in economic analyses and widely have been used in order to evaluate trade liberalization effects. The purpose of this study was to provide the impacts of trade openness on pharmaceutical industry using CGE model. METHODS Using a computable general equilibrium model in this study, the effects of decrease in tar...

sensitivity analysis with respect to the functional forms provides estimates of the uncertainties involved in choosing a specific functional structure. this is vital in cge modeling where it is conventional to take elasticities from other studies. in the present study, the robustness of model results with respect to the functional form is checked. in one scenario, the production function is rep...

â â â  â â â â  abstract â  as the chances of a successful conclusion to the doha round of trade liberalization under the wto become increasingly problematic, so the pace of negotiating local free trade agreements (ftas) is increasing. according to the wto report, countries in the asia-pacific region are “consolidating their drive towards regionalism at an accelerated pace”. after the trade...

Cortical granule exocytosis (CGE), also known as cortical reaction, is a calcium- regulated secretion that represents a membrane fusion process during meiotic cell division of oocytes. The molecular mechanism of membrane fusion during CGE is still poorly understood and is thought to be mediated by the SNARE pathway; nevertheless, it is unkown if SNAP (acronym for soluble NSF attachment protein)...
