This paper investigates the link between nationality of ownership and wage elasticities of labour demand at the level of the plant. In particular, we examine whether labour demand in multinationals becomes less elastic ...
This paper reviews recent contributions to the economics and economic history of famine. It provides a context for the history of famine in the twentieth century, which is unique. During the century, war and totalitarianism ...

Is the observed correlation between current and lagged inflation a function of backward-looking inflation expectations, or do the lags in inflation regressions merely proxy for rational forward-looking expectations, as in ...
In this paper we investigate the effects of emigration on growth in developing countries. We present a model in which productivity increases either through imitation or innovation, and both activities use the same types ...
An approximate analytic method is presented that permits the calculation of all the output waves, both backward and forward traveling, for slanted, transmission-type volume gratings replayed at the Bragg angle and perfectly ...
The boundary diffraction method (BDM) is an approximate method that permits the derivation of analytic solutions for the output beams, both forward and backward propagating, that arise from the fundamental nature of ...

Macro-level changes can have substantial effects on the distribution of resources
at the household level. While it is possible to speculate about which groups are likely
to be hardest-hit, detailed distributional studies ...
The commonly used Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) on the Internet has
remained unchanged for many years at around 1500 bytes due mainly to
backward compatibility issues. This is in contrast with link data rate,
which has ...
