Gaertner, Wulf; Xu, Yongsheng - In: Economic Theory 24 (2004) 2, pp. 335-349

In this paper, we attempt to combine the concept of a choice function with a procedural aspect. We examine an individual’s choices over alternatives when the available options are linked either to the procedure by which these alternatives came into existence or to the degree of availability of...

Revisting the Trade-Growth Nexus: Further Evidence from Egypt

Al-Mawali, Nasser - In: Review of Middle East Economics and Finance 2 (2004) 3, pp. 4-4

This paper utilizes Feder's production function in revisiting the relationship between exports and economic growth by testing the hypothesis of the export-led growth in relation to the Arab Republic of Egypt. It also aims to show the difference in the marginal productivities between the export...

Productivity, efficiency and economic growth: east Asia and the rest of the world

Han, Gaofeng; Kalirajan, Kaliappa; Singh, Nirvikar - In: Journal of Developing Areas 37 (2004) 2, pp. 99-118

This study compares the sources of growth in East Asia with the rest of the world, using a methodology that allows one to decompose total factor productivity (TFP) growth into technical efficiency changes (catching up) and technological progress. It applies a varying coefficients frontier...

The new capitalists: a structural change from the stock market economy to the free market economy

Khoshyaran, M. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 344 (2004) 1, pp. 14-18

In this paper an alternative mechanism to the stock market is proposed. Two elements are taken away: (1) middlemen, and (2) shareholder lack of involvement. Structural elements are identified. Equilibrium-stability conditions are defined. A measures of effectiveness is suggested.

Generalized thermostatistics based on deformed exponential and logarithmic functions

Naudts, Jan - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 340 (2004) 1, pp. 32-40

The equipartition theorem states that inverse temperature equals the log-derivative of the density of states. This relation can be generalized by introducing a proportionality factor involving an increasing positive function φ(x). It is shown that this assumption leads to an equilibrium...
