MNC Strategies and Linkage Effects in Developing Countries (2009, background): “Without linkages, foreign investors may create enclaves in the local economy (Singer, 1950), exploiting its resources and labor, leaving few lasting positive effects on the host country (Cypher & Dietz, 2004).”
Model projections for household energy use in India (2011, methodology): “India has GINI values of about 30 for rural and 35 for urban areas, indicating a relatively equal income distribution.4 We disaggregate the average household expenditure levels to population quintiles using the GINI-coefficient (see Electronic Annex in the online version of this article and Humberto”
Modeling Energy and Development: an Evaluation of Models and Concepts (2008, background): “It is determined from two elements: (1) the Lorenz curve which ranks the empirical distribution of a variable and (2) the line of perfect equality in which each element has the same contribution to the total summation of the values of a variable (see, e.g., Cypher & Dietz, 1997).”
Technical Change and Industrial Dynamics as Evolutionary Processes (2009, background): “…in more complicated but more realistic accounts, allowing for imitation, transition probabilities of each j should depend also on the states achieved by all other agents and some metrics on their distances: see for example Chiaromonte and Dosi (1993), Dosi et al. (1994), Fagiolo and Dosi (2003).”
China's Economic Growth 1978-2025: What We Know Today about China's Economic Growth Tomorrow (2008, background): “Douglas (2002) documented the transformation in four industries in China and predicted the imminent emergence of world-class Chinese brands.”
Foreign Direct Investment in Mexico: A Cointegration Analysis (2000, background): “…nation, FDI flows represent a net drain on the country’s scarce resources because they generate substantial reverse flows in the form of remittances of profits and dividends to the parent companies, as well as through the widespread practice of intra-firm transfer pricing [Cypher and Dietz, 1997].”
