An Elementary Theory of Comparative AdvantageComparative advantage, whether driven by technology or factor endowment, is at the core of neoclassical trade theory. Using tools from the mathematics of compleSocial Science Electronic Publishing
4.1 Theory: Main modeling elements Here, we provide modeling elements that are common to most of the papers presented in this section. Corresponding to the demand-side elements already introduced, we include the supply side of a model focused on comparative advantage, where the source of the gai...
In my presentation, I will take advantage of some of the challenges that have been raised to show how they have led, in a series of steps, to the evolution of a current elemental theory. The four chal- lenges that I will take up involve the facts of (1) errorless discrimination, (...
On this basis, Keynes developed a theory of comparative probability, in which conditional probabilities are ordered in terms of a relation of “more” or “less” probable, and are combined into compound probabilities. Like Boole, Keynes aimed to develop a theory of the reasonableness of degrees...
Our analysis of whiteness in the Chinese ELT industry therefore departs somewhat from analyses that centre whiteness as a form of property (Harris Citation1993; Lipsitz Citation2006), an approach that is critical to American-centric Critical Race Theory. Instead, we move towards an analytical interes...
Research and development are central to economic growth, and a key challenge for countries of the global South is that their research performance lags behi
Brown found that while recasts occur more frequently in adult and elementary classes, in high- school language classes, error correction prompts are more frequent. Since our dataset was taken from a national competition that highlighted a communicative approach to language teaching, teachers may have...
This suggests that language is perceived as an elementary characteristic of authenticity – as also confirmed by respondent ‘BES12’ in the GGV, who had heard a lot of Bavarian and therefore perceived the district as authentic. 16 out of 21 visitors said that the presence of locals was ...
This study examined the factors affecting learners’ adoption of an educational metaverse platform using an extended UTAUT (unified theory of acceptance and use of technology) model and incorporating perceived risk. Data were derived from a survey of 495 respondents from China and analyzed using struct...
Nevertheless, historical sociology provided an important stimulus to comparative history. Its works elicited an increasingly favorable response in the 1960s to the extent that history was open to theoretical questions, and gradually after 1970, these works were also emulated. The theory of modernization...
