The wage-unemployment relationship in Taiwan
89 p.Based on the Geweke-Sims-Granger (GSG) integrated framework, there exists strong evidence of causation running from real earnings to unemployment in Taiwan. However, evidence of bi-directional causation between real earnings and manufacturing employment were also detected. Lucas -
Rapping's inter-temporal substitution theory on unemployment is consistent with the Taiwan's time
series facts since real interest rates unidirectionally Weiner-Granger caused unemployment.
Unidirectional causation running from prices to manufacturing earnings and unidirectional causation
running from money supply to prices imply that inflationary process in Taiwan could be a hybrid of
demand-push and cost-push hypothesis.BUSINES

Geobarrier system for use in underground structure
Rainfall-induced slope failures are a common problem in many tropical areas that
are covered by residual soils such as Singapore. Tropical residual soils are known to be
complex and their behavior does not follow the classical saturated soil mechanics because
these soils are often unsaturated in nature. The negative pore-water pressure in unsaturated
soil is highly influenced by the flux boundary condition changes (i.e., infiltration,
evaporation and transpiration) resulting from the variation in climatic conditions. On the
other hand, the negative pore-water pressure contributes additional shear strength to the
unsaturated soil. As water infiltrates into the slope, pore-water pressure in the slope
increases (matric suction decreases), and the additional shear strength due to matric suction
will decrease or even disappear, causing the slope to be more susceptible to failure.
Singapore is a land scarce country with a critical need to optimize land utilization.
Retaining walls are important part of urban development related to the creation of new
spaces for urban development where land space is very limited. Conventional concrete
retaining walls are usually associated with high cost, poor aesthetic and lengthy
construction time. In this study, NTU collaborated with Housing and Development Board
(HDB) to develop new earth retaining structure and slope stabilization system against
rainfall-induced slope failures, named Geobarrier system (GBS). A GBS is a man-made
three-layer cover system designed as a vegetative layer combined with a two-layer
unsaturated system which harnesses the distinct difference in unsaturated hydraulic
properties between a fine-grained layer and a coarse-grained layer. GBS consists of
recycled materials and does not use steel nor concrete and is hence more cost effective,
thereby making it economical for use in high rise building. Geobag for vegetative layer is
supported by specially designed pockets for planting different types of sustainable plant
species. This monograph presents the overall design, construction procedures, finite
element analyses and typical results of GBS slope. In addition, apparatuses, methodology
and results of the unsaturated hydraulic properties and the unsaturated shear strength are
discussed briefly in this monograph
