    Equilibrium Cycles in a Two-Sector Economy with Sector Specific Externality

    No full text
    In this paper, we study the two-sector CES economy with sector-specific externality (feedback effects) following Nishimura and Venditti \(2004). We characterize the equilibrium paths in the case that allows negative externality. That equilibrium paths were not explicitly discussed by Nishimura and Venditti and show how the degree of externality may generate equilibrium cycles around the steady state.Two-sector economy, sector-specific externalities, indeterminacy, period-two cycles, capital-labor substitution

    Interior photograph of Frank Hirosawa (a chemist) and Yoshitake "Joe" Nishimura operating the Jordan Mill to process guayule rubber at Manzanar Incarceration Camp. The caption reads: Frank Hirosawa and Joe Nishimura Operating Mill. Title from caption. Photo from: "Extraction of Guayule Rubber" panel created by Frank Akira Kageyama and Glenn H. Kageyama, relatives of Mary Nomura (ecm_nom_0300). The Eastern California Museum Object ID for this item is 1994.80.3g.A collection of panel collages created by Shiro and Mary Nomura, both of whom were incarcerated at Manzanar from 1942-1945, for the Eastern California Museum's Manzanar Project. The panels are comprised of photographs, artifacts, documents, and stories collected by "Shi" starting in the 1970s. Over the following 20 years, the Nomuras assembled more than 75 panels depicting their personal interpretation of Manzanar 'camp' life, major events, history, and site preservation efforts. In each panel Shi and Mary provide valuable first-person documentation from their experiences. These panels have been displayed at various community events, annual Manzanar Pilgrimages, and the Eastern California Museum (the permanent home of the collection)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    GNORIMOSPHAEROMA SALEBROSA SP. NOV. FROM THE COAST OF KII, JAPAN (ISOPODA : SPHAEROMATIDAE)

    No full text
    In a previous paper (NISHIMURA 1968), the writer described a new species of the boreo-Pacific isopod genus Gnorimosphaeroma MENZIES, 1954 of the family Sphaeromatidae from the coast of Kii Peninsula, central Honshu, Japan. The present paper is intended to give the description of another new species of this genus recently found from the same district. The writer expresses his gratitude to Professor H. UTINOMI and Dr. T. TOKIOKA of the Seto Marine Biological Laboratory for their kindness in reading the manuscript

    Moment-equation methods for calculating neoclassical transport coefficients in general toroidal plasmas

    No full text
    A detailed comparison is made between moment-equation methods presented by H. Sugama and S. Nishimura [Phys. Plasmas 9, 4637 (2002)] and by M. Taguchi [Phys. Fluids B 4, 3638 (1992)] for calculating neoclassical transport coefficients in general toroidal plasmas including nonsymmetric systems. It is shown that these methods can be derived from the drift kinetic equation with the same collision model used for correctly taking account of collisional momentum conservation. In both methods, the Laguerre polynomials of the energy variable are employed to expand the guiding-center distribution function and to obtain the moment equations, by which the radial neoclassical transport fluxes and the parallel flows are related to the thermodynamic forces. The methods are given here in the forms applicable for an arbitrary truncation number of the Laguerre-polynomial expansion so that their accuracies can be improved by increasing the truncation number. Differences between results from the two methods appear when the Laguerre-polynomial expansion is truncated up to a finite order because different weight functions are used in them to derive the moment equations. At each order of the truncation, the neoclassical transport coefficients obtained from the Sugama?Nishimura method show the Onsager symmetry and satisfy the ambipolar-diffusion condition intrinsically for symmetric systems. Also, numerical examples are given to show how the transport coefficients converge with the truncation number increased for the two methods.journal articl

    Global analysis of the growth and cycles of multi-sector economies with constant returns: A turnpike approach

    No full text
    In Section 1, we explain the neoclassical optimal growth model, which includes multi capital goods, and is derived from neoclassical production functions; the transformations to the reduced model are also explained. Section 2 pertains to the explanation of the methods for proving the consumption turnpike theorem demonstrated by Scheinkman (1976) and McKenzie (1983). Also, the case in which the essentials of the von Neumann-McKenzie facet, which plays an important role in the next part, became a two-sector model and is explained using figures. In Section 3, we postulate a two-sector neoclassical optimal growth model, and the optimal path behavior in the vicinity of the optimal steady state path (modified golden rule path) are classified using the characteristics of von Neumann-McKenzie facet. Also, we will use these results to prove, based on a weaker hypothesis, that the theorem that the optimal path local stability and the optimal path attained by Benhabib and Nishimura(1985)becomes a two-term periodic solution. In Section 4, the generalization of the global asymptotic stability conclusion achieved with two divisions into a case that includes two or more types of capital goods. In Addendum, the important fundamental principles used in the main text will be defined, and a number of theorems will be proved.multi-sector model; turnpike theory; optimal growth; the Neumann-McKednzie facet
