Trade, Production Networks And The Exchange Rate, Sven W. Arndt, Alex Huemer '99 Jan 2007

Trade, Production Networks And The Exchange Rate, Sven W. Arndt, Alex Huemer '99

CMC Faculty Publications and Research

This paper examines the effect of cross-border production sharing on trade and exchange-rate behavior. When a country’s exports contain imported components, changes in exchange rates tend to have offsetting effects on imports and exports. Imports may fall, remain unchanged or even rise with depreciation, depending on the share of domestic value-added in exports. The effect of domestic and foreign GDP on imports and exports is also altered by production sharing. These behavior patterns are identified in trade in motor vehicles between the United States and Mexico with the aid of OLS and VEC techniques.


Remarks On Accessible Steady States For Some Coagulation-Fragmentation Systems, Miguel A. Herrero, Marianito R. Rodrigo Jan 2007

Remarks On Accessible Steady States For Some Coagulation-Fragmentation Systems, Miguel A. Herrero, Marianito R. Rodrigo

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

In this paper we consider some systems of ordinary differential equations which are related to coagulation-fragmentation processes. In particular, we obtain explicit solutions of such systems which involve certain coefficients obtained by solving a suitable algebraic recurrence relation. The coefficients are derived in two relevant cases: the high-functionality limit and the Flory-Stockmayer model. The solutions thus obtained are polydisperse (that is, is different from zero for all ) and may exhibit monotonically increasing or decreasing total mass. We also solve a monodisperse case (where is different from zero but is equal to zero for all ) in the high-functionality limit. …
