In this paper we estimate the local multiplier of employment in the tradable sector on employment in the non-tradable sector in Mexico, over the 2000-2010 period. Instrumental variables estimations indicate that an exogenous ...

With the exception of subsistence economies, employment benefits along a value chain may represent a relevant, but also a generally neglected part of the wealth derived from nature. Our objective is twofold: i) to determine ...

This paper deals with the study of free transverse vibrations of rectangular plates with an internal line hinge and elastically restrained boundaries. The equations of motion and its associated boundary and transition ...

We design a general type of spherical mean operators and employ them to approximate 'L IND.P' class functions. We show that optimal orders of approximation are achieved via appropriately defined K-functionals of fractional orders.

Indirect job creation is often an argument in favor of several policies. In this paper I seek to identify the impact an additional tradable job has on non tradable employment. I find that the addition of a tradable job ...

The oil sector represents a key-sector of the Ecuadorian economy, characterised by a high level of value added and a high weight in the national exports. This paper tries to find out whether the oil sector is able to induce ...

We introduce a new flexible inexact-restoration algorithm for constrained optimization problems. in inexact-restoration methods, each iteration has two phases. the first phase aims at improving feasibility and the second ...
