We collect firm-level panel data from World Scope on firms in developingcountries for the years 1988-98. Using panel data has certain advantages. First, it allowsto differentiate across firms. As explained before, it is likely that firms are treateddifferently in a regime of financial repression (fo[r]

for the existence of the so-called “Leontief inverse” are simple, yet necessary and sufficient. An intuitive result on inequalities facilitates quick proofs of the main results of linearprogramming. This, in turn, is used to establish the most general form of the so-called“substitution theorem”. The[r]
In this paper, we study secondorder necessary optimality conditions for a discrete optimal control problem with nonconvex cost functions and statecontrol constraints. By establishing an abstract result on secondorder necessary optimality conditions for a mathematical programming problem, we derive s[r]
Abstract. We propose a splitting algorithm for solving strongly equilibrium problems over the intersection of a finite number of closed convex sets given as the xed pointsets of nonexpansive mappings in a real Hilbert space. The algorithm is a combination between the gradient method and the MannKr[r]
Because of the numerous books that have already appeared about the classical Analysis, in principle it is very difficult to bring new facts in this field. However, the engineers, researchers in experimental sciences, and even the students actually need a quick and clear presentation of the basic[r]

Abstract: Kindergarteners need access to blocks as thinking tools to develop, model, test, and articulate their mathematical ideas. In the current educational landscape, resources such as blocks are being pushed to the side and being replaced by procedural worksheets and academic ‘‘seat time’’ in o[r]
