The supply risk of the global niobium industry chain: propagation path and impact analysis based on multi-layer network

Frontiers in Earth Science
Niobium, an irreplaceable raw material in high-tech industries, boasts a complex global trade network across its industrial chain. This study, leveraging 2022 trade data and inter-linkage dependencies within the niobium industry, constructs a multi-layer

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 ...

The integration process as a determinant of intra-industry trade [PDF]

Trade structure is usually defined as inter or intra-industrial type. The pattern of production and trade that emerges after opening the economies of transition is partly driven by relative factor prices and endowment and partly by economies of scale and

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Inequality and Trade [PDF]

We incorporate demand-side considerations in trade in a systematic but straightforward way. We do so by focusing on the role of inequality in the determination of trade flows and patterns. With nonhomothetic preferences, when countries are similar in all
