Rent-sharing, hold-up, and manufacturing wages in Cote d'Ivoire
Full text linkLabor costs in Francophone Africa are considered high by the standards of low-income countries, at least in the formal sector. Are they a brake on industrialization, or the result of successful enterprise development? Are they imposed on firms by powerful unions, or government regulations, or a by-product of good firm performance? The authors empirically analyze what determines manufacturing wages in Cote d'Ivoire, using an unbalanced panel of individual wages that allows them to control for observable firm-specific effects. They test the rent-sharing, and hold-up theories of wage determination, as well as some aspects of efficiency-wage theories. Their results lean in favor of both rent-sharing, and hold-up, suggesting that workers have some bargaining power, and that in Cote d'Ivoire workers can force renegotiation of labor contracts, in response to new investments.Economic Theory&Research,Public Health Promotion,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Labor Policies,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Health Economics&Finance,Statistical&Mathematical Sciences
On locally contractive fuzzy set-valued mappings
Full text linkWe prove the existence of common fuzzy fixed points for a sequence of locally contractive fuzzy mappings satisfying generalized Banach type contraction conditions in a complete metric space by using iterations. Our main result generalizes and unifies several well-known fixed-point theorems for multivalued maps. Illustrative examples are also given.The third author thanks the support of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain, Grant MTM2012-37894-C02-01.Ahmad, J.; Azam, A.; Romaguera Bonilla, S.

Cracking of Some Polytropic Models Via Local Density Perturbations
Full text linkIn this paper, we have checked the stability of some anisotropic charged generalized polytropic models by using the concept of cracking, founded by Nasim and Azam [29]. The process of cracking is intuitive and results at the points where the dispensation of radial forces appears in the system on account of perturbation and carried the system out of its equilibrium state. We have employed the local density perturbation technique to hydrostatic equilibrium equation and on all the physical parameters engaged in the models. We concluded that under the local density perturbation scheme all the generalized polytropic models are potentially stable.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.

A study on the maintenance management of food courts / Azam Mohamad.
Full text linkThere is a growing need and demand in food and beverage service in Malaysia. This can be seen from the emerging of eating venues that come in the form of restaurant, food court and stalls. The study focuses on the Klang Valley area only in order to limit the scope of the study. To support this research, four numbers of food courts were selected as case studies. The primary and secondary data were gathered from questionnaire surveys, observation and interviews conducted as well as references to the published reports, seminars papers and published books. It can be summarized that the maintenance management of food courts are not being progressively undertaken and performed due to non-existence of a quality standard guideline for the maintenance works, programme and the failure to set up an appropriate maintenance management to oversee the implementation of the maintenance works. Lack of supervision and inspection is another contributing factors on the failure of carrying out appropriate and standardized maintenance works. Maintenance management of a food court in Malaysia is carried out in a general manner rather than intuitive and progressive schedule. In addition, the opinions of maintenance management implementation and quality standard were gathered through structured interview and the results were then critically analyzed. From the findings, the author hopes that the research would give clear perception to the reader on the current practice of maintenance management and its implementation in the local market. It is recommended that a research on the same topic to be undertaken on other municipalities. In addition to this, detailed studies on the frequency of maintenance works, procedures on the maintenance works carried- out and quality assurance or inspection (QA/QC) to be also included

A Global Mapping System for Bambara Groundnut Production
Full text linkThis is the first study that estimates the potential production for any underutilised
crop on a global basis. Our long-term aim is to demonstrate how this approach,
initially for bambara groundnut, can be used to assess the potential productivity
of many underutilised food crops at locations beyond their current distribution.
The most significant contributions from this study are the integration of a
weather simulator and a crop simulation model into a Geographical Information
System (GIS) to predict potential production of bambara groundnut over
the globe. The integration came through a coincidence of interests. FAO needed
to improve the knowledge and better use of underutilised crops that can contribute
to the food security of the world s poorest people. For the University of
Nottingham it was an opportunity to provide a geographic basis for their existing
crop model that had been refined by the third author so that predictions of
bambara groundnut potential could be extended to new sites.
Integration of the weather generator and model into a GIS was based on the
experiences gained by the second author in using fish growth models to estimate
potential for fish farming in Africa (FAO, 1998, available at www.fao.org/docrep/
W8522e/W8522E00.htm)
Political Predation and Economic Development
Full text linkWe analyze a game between citizens and governments, whose type (benevolent or predatory) is unknown to the public. Opportunistic governments mix between predation and restraint. As long as restraint is observed, political expectations improve, people enter the modern sector, and the economy grows. Once there is predation, the reputation of the government is ruined and the economy collapses. If citizens are unable to overthrow this government, the collapse is durable. Otherwise, a new government is drawn and the economy can rebound. Consistent with stylized facts, equilibrium political and economic histories are random, unstable, and exhibit long-term divergence.
