Research report on the evaluation on Malaysian wood products to Europe- A comparative advantage perspective, in regards of recent evalutions in European forest sector
Z, Noor Aini; Jean-Marc, Roda; Ahmad Fauzi P. - HAL - 2008
As the growing trade in timber and wood products increasing, it has gained more attention from the main supplier in increasing the export competitiveness of timber and related products. Therefore, countries with large forest resources have an advantage in maximizing the resources in fulfilling...

Knowledge intensive business services and long term growth
Desmarchelier, Benoit; Djellal, Faridah; Gallouj, Faïz - HAL - 2012
The goal of this paper is to (re)assess the relationship between knowledge intensive busi- ness services (KIBS) and the economic growth. Taking into account various conflicting relationships between KIBS and growth, we build a multi agent-based system involving industrial firms,...

Endogenous Structural Change and Climate Targets : Modeling experiments with Imaclim-R
Crassous, Renaud; Hourcade, Jean Charles; Sassi, Olivier - HAL - 2006
This paper envisages endogenous technical change as resulting from the interplay between the economic growth engine, consumption, technology and localization patterns. We perform numerical simulations with the recursive dynamic general equilibrium model IMACLIM-R to study how modeling induced...

Stability tests for heterogeneous panel data
Chan, Félix; Mancini-Griffoli, Tommaso; Pauwels, Laurent L. - HAL - 2006
This paper proposes a new test for structural instability in heterogeneous panels. The test builds on the seminal work of Andrews (2003) originally developed for time series. It is robust to non-normal, heteroskedastic and serially correlated errors, and allows for the number of post break...
