Is corruption an efficient grease? [PDF]
This paper tests whether corruption may act as an efficient grease for the wheels of an oth-erwise deficient institutional framework. We analyze the interaction between aggregate efficiency, corruption, and other dimensions of governance for a panel of ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how and why individual knowledge sharing fosters ambidextrous behavior among nonmanagerial employees in an operationally intensive, environmentally sensitive industry. We conducted a survey of 243 operators across 10 plants of an international lime producer, finding that knowledge sharing is positively related to individual

Identifying inflations grease and sand effects in the labor market [PDF]
An effort to distinguish inflations distortionary effects from its facilitation of adjustments to shocks when wages are rigid downward. It uses the following identification strategy: inflation-induced deviations among employers mean wage changes ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study assesses and compares the eco‐efficiency of six olive production systems in the Alentejo region, southern Portugal, employing a life cycle costing (LCC) approach directly integrated with a prior life cycle assessment (LCA). Although LCC has been increasingly applied to Mediterranean olive‐growing, empirical research in Portugal ...

Lubricating Characteristic of Grease Composites with CNT Additive
Tribology Online, 2011 The friction at high speed and high pressure tends to cause the lowering of grease stickiness because the frictional heating occurs at the sliding surface, which will bring to the degradation of lubricity.

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.The article describes the synthesis and molecular transformations of a silica‐supported bis(phosphine)methylplatinum(II) complex under reactive (H2, CO) and inert gas atmospheres. The focus lies on the stabilizing effect of the sterically non‐demanding trimethylphosphine ligand, which alters the reactivity of the surface sites, compared to other ...

Influence of Li Grease Thickener Types on Film Thicknesses Formed between Smooth and Dented Surfaces
Tribology Online, 2017 The lubricant film thickness behaviors of lithium (Li) thickener type greases and their base oil were investigated for the contact between a glass disk and a smooth/dented steel ball using an optical interferometry. The main focus is to understand grease
