Starting with Romer [1987] and Rivera-Batiz-Romer [1991] economists have been able to model how trade enhances growth through the creation and import of new varieties. In this framework, international trade increases economic output through two channels. First, trade raises productivity levels...

Coal continues to be an important fuel in many countries' energy mix and, despite the climate change concerns, it is likely to maintain this position for the next decades. In this paper a numerical model is developed to investigate the evolution of the international market for steam coal, the...

In General Relativity Theory, the simplest explanation for dark energy is the cosmological constant $\Lambda$. However, the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ facing a sensitive problem called fine-tunning problem. In the present work, we follow a different approach where the gravitational sector...
