The COVID-19 sickness, brought about by the contamination of SARS COV-2, was first revealed in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Present day internationally associated world made the infection to immediately spread across various nations. In India, the main case was accounted for on January 31,...

This paper uses the diamond model theory as the basic research perspective to explore how the upstream and downstream industrial chains of cotton in Xinjiang can escape from the constraints of reality and how their resource endowments can be transformed into competitive advantages. This paper...

We explore how firms grow by adding products. In contrast to most earlier work on the topic, our conceptual and empirical framework allows for separate treatment of product innovation (vertical differentiation) and diversification (horizontal differentiation). The market context is Japan's...

Effective management of cotton production logistics (CPL) against volatile environmental conditions while maintaining product quality and yield at acceptable costs has become challenging due to increasing global population and consumption and climate change. In CPL, the harvesting, processing,...

This paper uses a Regional Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model calibrated with a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for the Mozambique Zambezi Valley cotton concession sub-region to examine the economy-wide impacts and relative changes in the levels of income poverty of grower and non-grower...

Pakistan and India are the two major producers of the cotton, the most demanding crop of the world which is known as white gold. However, for some recent years, it deems that Pakistan’s share in the international textile market dwindles compared to India. Thereby, the study will investigate...

Growth, profit and technological choice : the case of the Lancashire cotton textile industry / Steven Toms -- Ring and mule spinning in the nineteenth century : a technological perspective / Roger Holden -- Industrial relations and technical change : profits, wages and costs in the Lancashire...

Capital ownership, capital structure and capital markets: financial constraints and decline in the Lancashire cotton textile industry, 1880-1965 -- Quiet successes and loud failures: the UK textile industries in the interwar years -- The decline of the UK textile industry: the terminal years...

The paper analyses the relationship between entrepreneurial philanthropy and the competitive process. In doing so, it constructs a typology of entrepreneurial philanthropic behaviour. Such behaviour is conditioned by a combination of ideology and business strategy variables. Ideological...

Cotton is a crop that underwent continuous technology and policy shifts over period of time, and thus is a test case through which one can examine the changes in the growth and associated instability. The major technology and policy changes cotton cultivation saw include the commercial hybrids'...

Cotton textile industries vanished from much of East Africa during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book investigates the underlying causes of industrial arrest in the region through a series of in-depth case studies. Findings are considered in light of existing studies on...

The diffusion of technological knowledge is key to industry growth. But not all knowledge is created equal. I use a nanoeconomic approach to examine knowledge-diffusion based growth in the Meiji-era Japanese cotton spinning industry, which enjoyed remarkable success after a decade of initial...

We explore how changes in ownership affect the productivity and profitability of producers. Using detailed data from the Japanese cotton spinning industry at the turn of the last century, we find that acquired firms' production facilities were not on average less physically productive than the...

"How did the Civil War and the emancipation of the South's four million slaves reconfigure the natural landscape and the farming economy dependent upon it? An important reconsideration of the Civil War's role in southern history, Unredeemed Land uncovers the environmental constraints that shaped...

We explore how changes in ownership and managerial control affect the productivity and profitability of producers. Using detailed operational, financial, and ownership data from the Japanese cotton spinning industry at the turn of the last century, we find a more nuanced picture than the...
