Effects of Trade Openness on Economic Growth: The Case of African Countries [PDF]
The relationship between trade and productivity has not been established theoretically. Some researchers have indeed found some, if not complete, support for the view that increasing openness has a positive impact on productivity.

Trade in Value‐Added and the Welfare Gains of International Fragmentation
ABSTRACT This study examines the overall impact of international production fragmentation on the welfare gains from trade. Using a novel model that accounts for shifts in preferences between local and foreign goods and distinguishes between intermediate and final goods trade, we gain a more nuanced understanding of how fragmentation shapes these ...

Output Maximization of an Agency [PDF]
Considering Cobb-Douglas function in three variables as an explicit form of production function, in this paper an attempt has been made to maximize an output subject to a budget constraint, using Lagrange multipliers technique, as well as necessary and ...

Growth Accounting in the Open Economy: An Array of Perspectives
ABSTRACT In this paper, we show how Törnqvist growth accounting in the open economy can be conducted from a number of different perspectives, depending on which input and output prices or quantities are chosen to be the explanatory factors. This approach offers a wide spectrum of decompositions, each one being potentially best suited to analyze ...

Modelling The Cattle Breeding Production in the Czech Republic [PDF]
This paper proves that the use of the Cobb-Douglas form of production function is suitable for modelling the technological efficiency of selected production factors used in cattle breeding.

ABSTRACT We address two important sources of bias that remain unaccounted for in most analyses of firm‐level productivity and trade policy; that is, omitted output price bias and demand shocks. Using firm‐level data that includes product‐level price and physical output measures, we mitigate the omitted output price bias typically encountered when using

Declining labour share – Evidence of a change in underlying production technology? [PDF]
The study demonstrates that the decline in the labour share in Finland can not be explained by the Cobb-Douglas production function. Instead, we propose an approach based on the constant-elasticity-of-substitution (CES) production function with labour ...

On the Implementation and Use of a Genetic Algorithm with Genetic Acquisitions [PDF]
A genetic algorithm is convergent when genetic mutations occur on the objective function gradient direction. These genetic mutations are called genetic acquisitions (Mateescu, 2005).

A closed form solution to Stollery's global warming problem with temperature in utility [PDF]
Stollery (1998) studied a polluting oil extracting economy governed by the constant utility criterion. The pollution caused the growth of temperature, negatively affecting production and utility. Stollery provided a closed form solution for the case with
