The composite system coupling model is introduced to analyze the mechanism of the composite system on the coupling target. Taking China's equipment manufacturing industry as the research objective, the composite system coupling model is constructed. On the basis of calculating the three target...

3D printing is a new manufacturing method used to make customized products that is also instrumental in driving manufacturing innovation. The global market for this technology has expanded rapidly thanks to a sharp increase in industrial applications. However growth of the Korean 3D printing...

Based on French firm-level data over around 15 years we evaluate the contribution of the micro-level profit shifting –through tax haven foreign direct investments to the aggregate productivity slowdown measured in France. We show that firm measured productivity in France declines over the...
