Do Countries Compensate Firms for International Wage Differentials? [PDF]
We address the role of labor cost differentials for national tax policies. Using a simple theoretical framework with two countries competing for a mobile firm, we show that in a bidding race for FDI, it is optimal for governments to compensate firms for ...

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.
