Welfare-Theoretical Analyses of the Brain Drain

The paper reviews and synthesises the theoretical analyses of the brain drain in the earlier literature and in the present symposium in the Journal on the subject. Static analysis and dynamic analysis are distinguished, critical issues are raised relating to how welfare changes should be discussed in the context of migration, and possibilities of fruitful future research are outlined

Foreign Ownership and the Theory of Trade and Welfare

Some standard topics in the theory of international trade are reconsidered in this paper by distinguishing between national and aggregate income when fixed supplies of foreign inputs are present within the home country. Under conditions that would ensure a national welfare gain if\u27 foreign ownership were absent, international transfer, economic growth, or tariff policy might cause a national welfare loss in the presence of foreign ownership. The techniques developed could be applied to other domestic distinctions (such as those based on race, sex, age, or ethnicity) and to the theory of\u27 customs unions in a three-country world

Correlation between Project Management Processes

This paper explains the correlation between all Project Management Processes i.e. Project Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring, Controlling & Closing. This paper gives the introduction to the key concept in the project management field; it summarizes the processes, inputs & outputs that are considered good practices on most of the projects most of the times. The project management is application of knowledge, skills, tools & techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements. The process is set of interrelated actions & activities performed to achieve a pre-specified product, result, or service. Project management processes are grouped in to five categories known as Project management Process Groups or Process Group. In this paper, live case studies taken for explaining the relation between all the project management processes. Successful completion of the project depends on the successful completion of all the project management processes, and all these project management processes are interrelated to each other. In this paper all the relationships and output of each process are discussed in details. “Everything becomes simple when it reduce to fundamentals” is basis of Project management Processes

The Global Correspondence Principle: A Generalization

This paper generalizes the Global Correspondence Principle by extending, in two major ways, Paul Samuelson\u27s 1971 analysis of the exchange rate response to an international purchasing-power transfer. We analyze the price effect of a shift in any parameter, not necessarily a transfer. We then explore the resulting adjustments in any nonprice variable such as we/fare. As our analysis shows, the direction of these adjustments depends neither on whether they are small or large nor on whether equilibrium is locally stable or unstable

Structure Soil Structure Interaction Effects: Seismic Analysis of Safety Related Collocated Concrete Structures

The Process, Purification and Stack Buildings are collocated safety related concrete shear wall structures with plan dimensions in excess of 100 feet. An important aspect of their seismic analysis was the determination of structure soil structure interaction (SSSI) effects, if any. The SSSI analysis of the Process Building, with one other building at a time, was performed with the SASSI computer code for up to 50 frequencies. Each combined model had about 1500 interaction nodes. Results of the SSSI analysis were compared with those from soil structure interaction (SSI) analysis of the individual buildings, done with ABAQUS and SASSI codes, for three parameters: peak, accelerations, seismic forces and the in-structure floor response spectra (FRS). The results may be of wider interest due to the model size and the potential applicability to other deep soil layered sites. Results obtained from the ABAQUS analysis were consistently higher, as expected, than those from the SSI and SSSI analyses using the SASSI. The SSSI effect between the Process and Purification Buildings was not significant. The Process and Stack Building results demonstrated that under certain conditions a massive structure can have an observable effect on the seismic response of a smaller and less stiff structure
