The second essay examines empirical evidence for aggregate increasing returns and whether this evidence varies across stage of development as postulated by early development theorists. The empirical results suggest that the evidence leans towards aggregate increasing returns across all samples. Within Cobb-...
characteristics of the process of development across most of human history induced growth theorists to advance an alternative theory that captures in a single unified framework the epoch of Malthusian stagnation, the modern era of sustained economic growth, and the recent transition between these ...
THEORISTS OF URBAN GROWTH FALL GENERALLY INTO ONE OF TWO APPROACHES. ONE GROUP STARTS WITH THE REGION AND BREAKS IT DOWN INTO SUBAREAS, THE OTHER BEGINS WITH INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AND ATTEMPTS TO DERIVE URBAN STRUCTURE FROM THEIR WANTS AND INTERACTIONS. THE TWO APPROACHES APPARENTLY HAVE NO ME...
In endogenous growth models, the relationship between capital and output can be written in the form Y=AK. Capital, K, is defined more broadly than in the neoclassical model. It is a composite of manufactured and knowledge-based capital. Endogenous growth theorists have been able to show that,...
Third, theorists have posited that struggles can be an important source of development and growth in a variety of domains, including the religious and spiritual realm. For example, according to life span psychologist Erik Erikson’s (1998) theory, every phase of life is accompanied by a distinc...
and western influence to develop a country as a whole. Later theorists have challenged this approach, emphasizing a "bottom-up" development paradigm, in which countries become self-sufficient through local efforts, and urban industry is not necessary. Rostow also assumes that all countries have a ...
The concept of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) creates an interesting challenge for researchers and theorists in the trauma field. Hobfoll et al. examine the concept and strengthen the need for refining the understanding of traumatic growth in the face of terrorism. They raise and “zoom in” on ...
Primary cartilage is a tissue of particular interest to craniofacial growth theorists. According to Enlow and Hans, it is singular in form; has the capacity to grow from within (interstitial growth); is pressure-tolerant, noncalcified, flexible, and nonvascular; and does not require a covering ...
Influencers. Conspiracy theorists. Men. LMAO. WTF.Nobody is acting, and as AI is wasting even more resources to then inundate our information spaces, nobody is listening, either.That we’re so f’ed isn’t doomsaying, it’s a statement of fact....
Growth theorists, like everyone else, have in mind a world where production functions are associated with people. To see how they proceed, let us start with a model where everyone has the option of starting a ?rm, and when they do, they have access to an individual production function Y ...
