International trade and renewable resources under asymmetries of resource abundance and resource management

Environmental and Resource Economics, 2007
This paper examines the interaction between relative resource abundance and resource management regimes in determining trade patterns and gains from trade in a two-country model with a renewable resource. A model developed by Brander and Taylor [Brander JA, Taylor MS (1997b) Resour Energy Econ 19:267–297] is extended. It is shown that relative resource

Complex advice acceptance as a resource for managing asymmetries

Text & Talk, 2007
AbstractHutchby (1995: 221) calls advice giving ‘an activity which assumes or establishes an asymmetry between the participants’. The problematic nature of such asymmetry has been convincingly demonstrated by conversation analysts, especially in contexts where advice is uninvited (e.g., Jeerson and Lee 1992).

Analysis of asymmetries in air pollution with water resources, and energy consumption in Iran

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018
Iran should pay special attention to its excessive consumption of energy and air pollution due to the limited availability of water resources. This study explores the effects of the consumption of energy and water resources on air pollution in Iran from 1971 to 2014.

Resource Allocations for TDD OFDMA Cellular Systems Considering Traffic Asymmetries

IEICE Transactions on Communications, 2007
The time division duplex cellular system can support various downlink and uplink traffic ratios by setting the downlink and uplink transmission periods appropriately. However, it causes severe co-channel interference problem when some cells are active in the downlink while the others are in the uplink [2].

The resource theory of asymmetry and some of its applications

2012
A useful and unifying concept in quantum information theory is the idea of a consumable "resource". The basic idea behind quantum resource theories is that whenever we face restrictions on the set of operations we can perform, some states (resource states) enable us to perform particular tasks that otherwise would have been impossible.

Information Asymmetry and the Performance of Agents Competing for Limited Resources

2017
While mainstream economic theory has been primarily concerned with the behavior of agents having complete information and perfect rationality, it is unlikely that either of these assumptions are valid in reality. This has led to the development of theories that incorporate bounded rationality and also to the study of the role of information in economic

Asymmetry in action: Sequential resources in the negotiation of a prescription request

Text – Interdisciplinary Journal for the Study of Discourse, 2001
This article deals with one form of interactional asymmetry in doctor‐ patient consultations, that of initiative: Doctors primarily initiate actions and solicit responses, whereas patients primarily respond to doctors’ initiatives. This article argues that the variable of initiative actually contains two dimensions: speaker initiative and utterance ...

Natural resources and conflict: The crucial role of power mismatch and geographic asymmetries

Natural resource rents are often equated with political turmoil and fighting. While one can easily find examples where there has been such a link (see e.g. the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Chad, Nigeria or Iraq), one can as easily pick examples of both democracies (e.g. Norway) or nondemocracies (e.g.
