Foreign direct investment: a tool or a target for industrial policy in Eastern Countries?
Is there any linkage between industrial policy and the inflow of Foreign Direct Investment in Eastern European countries?
This is the core question which is analysed and discussed in this paper. The transition process of Central and Eastern Europe to a market economy has raised a lot of challenging questions both to Applied Economics and to Management Science. Enterprise adjustment remains one of the most interesting and complex as it is closely related to a wide range of economic, policy and management issues. Foreign Direct Investment, privatisation and industrial policy and their sort of linkage, remain some of the most interesting factors in the transition process. It seems that no sharp distinction can be presented between FDI as a target and FDI as a tool for industrial policy, but national differences remain significant as well as enterprises adjustment capacity

An O(h6) cubic spline interpolating procedure for harmonic functions
An O(h6) method for the interpolation of harmonic functions in rectangular do- mains is described and analysed. The method is based on an earlier cubic spline tech- nique [7], and makes use of recent results concerning the a posteriori correction of interpolatory cubic splines

A posteriori corrections for cubic and quintic interpolating splines at equally-spaced knots
The method proposed recently by Lucas [13], for the a posteriori correction of odd degree interpolating periodic splines is extended to non-periodic cubic and quintic splines

A class of cubic and quintic spline modified collocation methods for the solution of two-point boundary value problems
This paper is concerned with the study of a class of methods for solving second and fourth-order two-point boundary-value problems. The methods under
consideration are modifications of the standard cubic and quintic spline
collocation techniques, and are derived by making use of recent results con- cerning the a posteriori correction of cubic and quintic interpolating spline
Gravitational Wave Emission and Mass Extraction from a Perturbed Schwarzschild Black Hole (continue)
A relativistic model for the emission of gravitational waves from an
initially unperturbed Schwarzschild black hole, or spherical collapsing
configuration, is completely integrated. The model consists basically of
gravitational perturbations of the Robinson-Trautman type on the Schwarzschild
spacetime. In our scheme of perturbation, gravitational waves may extract mass
from the collapsing configuration. Robinson-Trautmann perturbations also
include another mode of emission of mass, which we denote shell emission mode:
in the equatorial plane of the configuration, a timelike shell of
matter may be present, whose stress-energy tensor is modelled by neutrinos and
strings emitted radially on the shell; no gravitational waves are present in
this mode. The invariant characterization of gravitational wave perturbations
and of the gravitational wave zone is made through the analysis of the
structure of the curvature tensor and the use of the Peeling Theorem.Comment: 26 pages, LaTex, no figure
