This note reviews Singapore's experience with globalisation, including policy measures taken to mitigate its effects on the income distribution and labour market. While the benefits have been enormous, the forces of globalisation in recent decades, together with skill-biased technological...

Given a Markov operator on a -finite measure space (, Σ, ) and is invariant, we say that has Krengel-Lin decomposition if () = ⊕ (, Σ) where = { ∈ () | ‖()‖ → 0} and Σ is the deterministic -field of . We consider the case of convolution operator and we show that a measure λ on a...

This thesis proposes a novel method for allocating multi-attribute computational resources via competing marketplaces. Trading agents, working on behalf of resource consumers and providers, choose to trade in resource markets where the resources being traded best align with their preferences and...
