resides within individuals to explicit or codified knowledge. Without forget the increased levels of communication combined with interactions make it possible to generate inimitable knowledge. Then, they would try to theorize and explore the long-term effects of this diversity. b) Hypothesis From the two precedent theory, it’s possible to propose a series of five hypothesis based on this relationship between racial diversity and intermediate performance. • Hypothesis 1: Racial diversity is curvilinearly

August 2004 Abstract We examine the contribution of human capital to economy-wide technological improvements through the two channels of innovation and imitation. We develop a theoretical model showing that skilled labor has a higher growth-enhancing effect closer to the technological frontier under the reasonable assumption that innovation is a relatively more skillintensive activity than imitation. Also, we provide evidence in favor of this prediction using a panel dataset covering 19 OECD countries

intestinal blockage What side effects are possible with Lax-A-Day? Many medications can cause side effects. A side effect is an unwanted response to a medication when it is taken in normal doses. Side effects can be mild or severe, temporary or permanent. The side effects listed below are not experienced by everyone who takes this medication. If you are concerned about side effects, discuss the risks and benefits of this medication with your doctor. The following side effects have been reported by at

exploiting a unique dataset which links information on patent applications to micro panel data for European MNEs. Our results suggest that the corporate tax rate (differential to other group members) indeed exerts a negative effect on the number of patents filed by a subsidiary. The effect is quantitatively large and robust against controlling for affiliate size. The findings prevail if we additionally account for royalty withholding taxes. Moreover, binding ‘Controlled Foreign Company’ rules tend to decrease

Introduction Measuring linear correlation among assets is crucial in financial applications (e.g. Markovitz theory). The last decade witnessed the advent of high-frequancy data. High frequency data are very peculiar: Unevenly sampled Microstructure effects Huge quantity of data New econometric techniques are needed!       January 2004 – p.2/18 Measuring linear correlation d We assume that p t is the solution of the following stochastic differential equation (SDE): ¡ ¢ £

investors. What value—and what effect does it have? Among respondents who have an opinion, two-thirds of CFOs and three-quarters of investment professionals agree that environmental, social, and governance activities do create value for their shareholders in normal economic times. However, they do not agree on how much: investment professionals are likelier to see more value than CFOs, for example (Exhibit 1). Further, a full quarter of respondents don’t know what effect, if any, these activities have

trend. This is why one may ask if globalization and global actors have a positive or negative influence in the development of LEDCs; that is the economic maturation of a Less Economically Developed Country. Ultimately, globalization has many positive effects as well as many negatives. Globalization has had, over the past years, a positive influence in LEDC development, and has been helping underdeveloped countries catch up with the dominating powers by many means. First, some global institutions

Cosmopolitanism Introduction Country-of-origin image (COI) is an important driver of consumers’ evaluation of products originating from different countries. Schooler (1965) is generally considered to be the first researcher to empirically study this effect. He found out that products, identical in every respect except for their country of origin, were evaluated differently by consumers. Since then, more than 700 articles have been published on the subject country-of-origin (Papadopoulos & Heslop, 2003)
