In this paper, the impact of real exchange rate on employment is theoretically investigated. Three channels are identified. 1. Capital/labor intensity channel: the real appreciation, which decreases the cost of imported inputs and increases real wages expressed in tradable goods, exerts a...

A novel PdAg/TiO2 nanofiber electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation was fabricated by using TiO2 nanofiber as support. The structural and electrochemical properties of the PdAg/TiO2 nanofiber catalyst were characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction), TEM (the transmission electron microscopy) and...

Technological progress in the textile and clothing sectors is measured for 26 Chinese provinces using panel data by sector and the stochastic frontier method. The impact of the real exchange rate on this technological progress, as well as its transmission channels, are respectively estimated....

La sensibilité du commerce extérieur de la Chine aux prix relatifs à court terme et à long terme a été confirmée pour la période 1978-1994 en utilisant la technique de cointégration et la représentation à correction d'erreur. Cette sensibilité a été plus forte pour les biens...

This paper, using an export and foreign direct investment augmented production function, examines empirically the effects of these two additional variables on the economic growth of China from 1952 to 1995. Our econometric results confirm not only the contribution to growth of production factors...
