MEASURING INTER-INDUSTRY TRADE: AN AXIOMATIC APPROACH

MEASURING INTER-INDUSTRY TRADE: AN AXIOMATIC APPROACH
This paper characterizes a general index of inter-industry trade using a set of intuitively reasonable axioms. The general index contains the Balassa and the Grubel-Lloyd indices as particular cases. The axiomatic approach developed in the paper gives us an insight of the indices in an elaborate way through the axioms employed in the characterization ...

Photonic Time Crystals and Time‐Varying Electromagnetic Metamatter: A New Direction for Ultrafast Tunable Photonic and Microwave Materials and Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Photonic time crystals (PTCs) are systems in which electromagnetic parameters are modulated periodically in time, producing momentum bandgaps via temporal scattering rather than spatial Bragg processes. This review examines the theoretical frameworks, modeling, and computational tools for time‐varying media, and summarizes experimental demonstrations ...
