Overview: .In this book a quantitative, dynamic model is developed to explain and explore the diffusion of green new products in a business-to-business (B2B) context. Considering the case of emerging bioplastics, this goal is reached through a mixed-methods design, combining qualitative and quantitative methods over three phases. After an interview study with key-value chain actors an experimental vignette technique is applied to further study relevant factors in the micro (firm) level adoption process. Integrating the empirical findings, the diffusion model is developed and simulated at the m

Overview: Written by experts, Gives a modern approach, Comprehensive in ScopeThe Unacknowledged Disaster concerns two huge and closely-tied but widely ignored problems that plague the U.S. On the one hand, America tolerates a massive amount of youth poverty, while on the other, youth poverty is the major social factor generating failure in the country’s education. (More than one-fifth of American youths are now impoverished–a poverty rate far worse than those for American adults or the elderly and more than twice the size of youth poverty rates in other advanced nations–and poverty generates m

Overview: Fills a gap within the current literature through its practical analysis of norms and their implementation.Contains detailed case studies to complement discussions on Constructivist norm theory.Utiliz.This book explores the domestic adoption and implementation of international norms. The study of normative outcomes is expanded beyond traditional studies of value conflicts and localization to explore how transnational networks and local content policies affect an international norm’s chances of reaching compliance on the ground. Empirical research from two case studies devoted to worl

Overview: The Verilog hardware description language (HDL) provides the ability to describe digital and analog systems. This ability spans the range from descriptions that express conceptual and architectural design to detailed descriptions of implementations in gates and transistors. Verilog was developed originally at Gateway Design Automation Corporation during the mid-eighties. Tools to verify designs expressed in Verilog were implemented at the same time and marketed. Now Verilog is an open standard of IEEE with the number 1364. Verilog HDL is now used universally for digital designs in AS

Overview: Four stylised facts of aggregate economic growth are set up initially. The growth process is interpreted to represent transitional dynamics rather than balanced-growth equilibria. Against this background, the fundamental importance of subsistence consumption is comprehensively analysed. Subsequently, the meaning of the productive-consumption hypothesis for the intertemporal consumption trade-off and the growth process is investigated. Finally, the process of growth is analysed empirically by means of cross-sectional conditional convergence regressions with endogenous control variable

Overview: Earlier in this century, many philosophers of science (for example, Rudolf Carnap) drew a fairly sharp distinction between theory and observation, between theoretical terms like ‘mass‘ and ‘electron‘, and observation terms like ‘measures three meters in length‘ and ‘is _2° Celsius‘. By simply looking at our instruments we can ascertain what numbers our measurements yield. Creatures like mass are different: we determine mass by calculation; we never directly observe a mass. Nor an electron: this term is introduced in order to explain what we observe. This (once standard) distinction b

Overview: The focus of this book is the on-going Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations, which is endeavouring to further liberalize trade in goods and services. Trade theory supports the view that elimination of trade barriers benefits both importing and exporting economies, and therefore is a win-win game for all the one hundred and forty-eight members of the World Trade Organization. A successful Doha Round is sure to have far-reaching ramifications for the global economy.978-1-349-52591-1978-0-230-50201-7

Overview: Eine Analyse abweichender Tarifvereinbarungen in der Metall- und ElektroindustrieDie Tarifabweichung markiert einen tiefen Einschnitt in die institutionellen Strukturen des deutschen Tarifsystems. Die Unterschreitung von Tarifnormen in betrieblichen Bündnissen mit Billigung der Tarifvertragsparteien ist inzwischen gängige Praxis in vielen Branchen. Der Autor untersucht Verbreitung und Praxis der Tarifabweichung in der Metall- und Elektroindustrie seit dem „Pforzheimer“ Tarifvertrag von 2004. Dabei kommt er zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Auswirkungen der Tarifabweichung auf die Prägekraft
