Reconciling Bilateral Trade Data For Use In Gtap, Mark Gehlhar

GTAP Technical Papers Archive

Bilateral trade flows are reported by both importers and exporters. Large discrepancies in reported import/export trade flows can be found when these two reports are compared.

The GTAP database requires consistency between the export flow and its corresponding import flow for all partner pairs. Therefore, bilateral trade data in its reported form cannot be directly used for GTAP. Various methods can be used to produce a consistent set of bilateral trade flows. However, achieving consistency alone does not necessarily provide credible trade flows.

Matrix balancing using trade totals published by international agencies is not appropriate since these totals are not …

Introducing Monopolistic Competition Into The Gtap Model, Thomas Hertel, Padma Swaminathan

GTAP Technical Papers Archive

This technical paper documents one approach to incorporating monopolistic competition into the GTAP model. In this framework, consumer preferences are heterogeneous, leading to an apparent "love of variety" in the aggregate utility function for each region. The more heterogeneous are preferences, the smaller the elasticity of substitution in the aggregate utility function, and the greater the value placed on the addition of new varieties. The same is true for firms, which experience lower unit costs for differentiated, intermediate inputs, as the number of varieties on offer increases. In order to meet the diverse needs of consumers, firms differentiate their products …

Datapath Scheduling With Multiple Supply Voltages And Level Converters, Mark C. Johnson, Kaushik Roy

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

We present an algorithm called MOVER (Multiple Operating Voltage Energy Reduction) to minimize datapath energy dissipation through use of multiple supply voltages. In a single voltage design, the critical path length, clock period, and number of control steps limit minimization of voltage and power. Multiple supply voltages permit localized voltage reductions to take up remaining schedule slack. MOVER initially finds one minimum voltage for an entire datapath. It then determines a second voltage for operations where there is still schedule slack. New voltages can be introduced and minimized until no schedule slack remains. MOVER was exercised for a variety of …

Image Compression And Signal Classification By Neural Networks And Projection Pursuits, M. Fardanesh, O. K. Ersoy

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this report, two applications of neural networks are investigated. The first one is low bit rate image compression by using neural networks and projection pursuit. The second one is improving the classification accuracy of neural network classifiers by using unlabeled data. In the first part, a novel approach for low bit rate image coding is presented. The image is compressed by first quadtree segmenting the image into blocks of different sizes based on two activity measures , and then constructing a distinct code for each block by invokin~gth e theory of projection pursuit. The two activity measures used in …
