Bringing Manufacturing Home: Implications For Emerging Markets Of The Reindustrialisation Of The Core Oecd, Bryane Michael Jan 2013

Bringing Manufacturing Home: Implications For Emerging Markets Of The Reindustrialisation Of The Core Oecd, Bryane Michael

Bryane Michael (bryane.michael@stcatz.ox.ac.uk)

Will new technologies and policies bring manufacturing back to the US, Western Europe and Japan (or the core OECD)? Despite what the media pundits have told us, such manufacturing never really left (though many of the jobs did). The core OECD and its manufacturing companies already lead the world in industrial manufacturing. Much of the growth in emerging markets like China represents market expansion rather than stealing work from the core OECD. Moreover, both developed and emerging market manufacturers are not locked in a race to sell more, higher-valued manufactured goods. Even advanced market manufacturers sought to expand their low-valued …

Market Structure And The Cost Of Compliance With Environmental Regulation, Stuart Mcdonald Jan 2013

Market Structure And The Cost Of Compliance With Environmental Regulation, Stuart Mcdonald

Stuart McDonald

This paper analyses the expected level of non-compliance with environmental standards within in an oligopolistic industry. The paper departs from the previous literature on environmental compliance by allowing for the possibility of product differentiation. In doing this, the paper provides results quantifying the important role that strategic complements and substitutes have in determining both the relative degree of non-compliance and level of fines required to achieve both partial and universal compliance with environmental standards. The paper shows that under Bertrand competition it is relatively more difficult to achieve compliance with environmental standards than under Cournot competition, requiring larger fines to …

The Effectiveness Of Competition Policy: An Econometric Assessment In Developed And Developing Countries, Danilo Samà Jan 2013

The Effectiveness Of Competition Policy: An Econometric Assessment In Developed And Developing Countries, Danilo Samà

Dr. Danilo Samà

The effectiveness of competition policy: an econometric assessment in developed and developing countries
Author:Dr Danilo Samà (LUISS “Guido Carli” University, Law & Economics LAB)
Abstract:The ultimate objective of the present paper is to empirically investigate the effectiveness of competition policy in developed and developing countries. Although its importance is continuously increasing, the effectiveness of competition policy still seems to lack the attention that it would deserve. At the present state of art, the number of academic contributions that attempts to estimate its impact on relevant economic variables appears very limited, in particular for the less developed countries. However, …

The Effectiveness Of Providing Evidenced-Based Perinatal Practice To Low-Income Populations Providing Perinatal Care: Does Patient Income Influence The Delivery Of Quality Care?, Amy L. Damon, Carmen D. Parrotta, Lindsey A. Wallace, William Riley Jan 2013

The Effectiveness Of Providing Evidenced-Based Perinatal Practice To Low-Income Populations Providing Perinatal Care: Does Patient Income Influence The Delivery Of Quality Care?, Amy L. Damon, Carmen D. Parrotta, Lindsey A. Wallace, William Riley

Amy L. Damon

Background: This study examines a national perinatal quality improvement collaborative designed to create high reliability through the use of evidence-based perinatal care bundles. The objective of this study is to determine whether hospitals serving low-income patient populations experienced lower compliance with perinatal care bundles than hospitals serving higher-income patient populations. Objective: We investigated the relationship between the rate of perinatal bundle compliance within a hospital and the economic characteristics of the patients and surrounding community. We hypothesized a negative relationship between poverty and care bundle compliance. Methods: Using prospective data from 131,847 births over 34 months within 16 hospitals located …
