On the other hand, a naïve first-order autoregressive model of the form: (1−L)logYq(2)=β0+eq,eq=β1eq−1+εq, (15) for εq∼N(0,σε2), leads to Q−1∑q=1Q|Yq+1∖q(2)−Yq+1(2)|/Yq+1(2)=2.33%, where Yq+1∖q(2)=β0(q)(1−β1(q))+β...
In judging whether a particular form of democracy works, one needs to see whether it is adapted to a country's history and culture, whether it conforms to its conditions, whether it can deliver political stability and social progress, whether it can improve people's lives, whether it can win...

We use a simple three-sector model to narrate the economic history of Argentina during the twentieth century as seen through the prism of its integration into and dis-integration from the world economy. Assuming that capital moves between the primary and
The demand for health workers builds on the work of Scheffler and colleagues [18, 19] where countries demand for health workers is correlated with its gross national product (GNP) in the current year and previous year. National income is known as the major predictor of health care spending an...
Seymour and Girardet (1986) calculated that engineering works to give equivalent protection would cost £200,000 million (almost twice Switzerland's gross national product (GNP) at the time). Imposed remedial costs are exemplified by floods, attention being recently focused by increased frequency ...
Two clear groups of countries emerge with a cut-point in log10 of GNPpc [44]: low-income (n = 71) and middle-income (n = 42). Cluster analyses and construction of factor scores For LMICs, we construct two factor scores based on labour market poverty and labour market inequality ...
An intervention was termed very cost-effective and cost-effective if the cost per DALY was less than the per capita GNP or between 1 and 3 times per capita GNP, respectively. If the cost per DALY was more than three times the GNP per capita, then the intervention was regarded as not co...
In spite of such wealth, this is a region where the GNP per capita and educational levels remain below national average, and 70 percent of its 20 million people are living below the poverty line j [63, 90]. The environmental impact of oil production has been disastrous, due to frequent ...
In 2010, the cost of sickness cash benefits was approximately EUR 2,071 million and the expenditure on sickness and disability amounted to just under 4% of GNP in Sweden [1]. Lost competence that has to be replaced may also be costly for employers. For the individual, long-term sick ...
