The Industrial Core Projects are the basic capital intensity industries deliberately established by the Federal Government to provide material inputs for downstream industries.

Most of them operated low capacities due largely to inadequate funding. Other constraining factors were high cost of production due in part to poor infrastructural facilities and in part to a depreciated currency and stiff competition from …

Does Sex Discrimination Exist In Faculty Salaries At Western Kentucky University? An Empirical Examination Of The Wage Gap, Reed Vesey

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

A human capital model of salary determination is examined by using regression analysis on relevant personal and job characteristics of faculty members.

A portion of the wage gap remains unexplained, however, the probability of discrimination playing a substantial role in salary is very small.

Doing Business In The Third World- With Special Reference To India, Premchander Jun 1992

Doing Business In The Third World- With Special Reference To India, Premchander

IIMB Management Review

Dictators, debts and declining economies are the dangers of the third world which have effectively kept away western businesses. The term third world, a product of the now defunct cold war, refers to those nations which currently constitute three fourths of the world population that are poor. This is a variegated grouping of nations with differing political systems, ranging from Westminster type democracies, neo-fascist dictatorships to monarchies -hereditary and otherwise. The sustaining economic models may be capitalist, Marxian or any acceptable mix of the two leading some writers to believe in the existence of convergent capitalism where elements of freemarket …

Comments On "Regional Integration In Sub-Saharan Africa: Past Experience And Future Prospects" By Faezah Foroutan, Ishrat Husain Dr. Apr 1992

Comments On "Regional Integration In Sub-Saharan Africa: Past Experience And Future Prospects" By Faezah Foroutan, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Talks, Speeches, & Discourse

I agree with Ms Forouton that the import substitution policies and the unequal distribution of costs and benefits of integration are the principal reason for the lack of success in regional integration in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). I also agree that factor mobility in the presence of restricted goods movement is not necessarily and automatically welfare improving or desirable. Both of these conclusions follow logically from the comparative static framework she uses for her analysis. I would leave the speculative question as to what will happen if we use a dynamic process but I would show that, even under the present …
