To date, empirical investigations of trade liberalization under the conditions of increasing returns to scale (IRS) and imperfect competition (IC) have either assumed or imposed the market and productive structures necessary for such a model. However, of the recent IRS/IC models used to simulate...

This paper chronicles the evolution of industry in Ghana over the post-independence era from an inward over-protected import substitution industrialization strategy of 1960-83 to an outward liberalized strategy during 1984-2000, and since 2001, to the private sector-led accelerated industrial...

This paper measures the degree of market power of the Greek manufacturing industry over the period 1983-2007 at two-digit SIC level. Based on Bresnahan's (1989) conjectural variation model, three different specifications are used to investigate competitive conditions of the Greek manufacturing...

This paper investigates the market structure of the Greek food and beverages manufacturing industry over the period 1984–2007 at the three-digit SIC level. Based on the Hall-Roeger approach (1995), three models are used to investigate the competitive conditions in the industry. The first model...

The project explored the linkages between industry dynamics and economic activity, and the macro-congestion aspects of freight transport. The Kia Motors manufacturing plant near West Point, Georgia was selected for case study. The principal study effort went into collecting data elements in...

This paper extends the Hall-Roeger methodology in order to investigate the market structure and to measure the degree of market power in the Greek manufacturing sector over the period 1984-2007 as a whole and by subsector at the two-digit SIC level. The present paper also estimates the net and...

Using German establishment data, this paper examines the relationship between product market competition and the extent of employer provided training. We demonstrate that high product market competition is associated with increased training except when the competition is so severe as to threaten...
