Global Sourcing

by Pol Antràs, Elhanan Helpman - Journal of Political Economy
"... We present a North-South model of international trade in which differentiated products are developed in the North. Sectors are populated by final-good producers who differ in productivity levels. On the basis of productivity and sectoral characteristics, firms decide whether to integrate into the pr ..."

into the production of intermediate inputs or outsource them. In either case they have to decide from which country to source the inputs. Final-good producers and their suppliers must make relationship-specific investments, both in an integrated firm and in an arm’s-length relationship. We describe an equilibrium

Trace Scheduling: A Technique for Global Microcode Compaction

by Joseph A. Fisher - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS , 1981
"... Microcode compaction is the conversion of sequential microcode into efficient parallel (horizontal) microcode. Local com-paction techniques are those whose domain is basic blocks of code, while global methods attack code with a general flow control. Compilation of high-level microcode languages int ..."

VERY HIGH RESOLUTION INTERPOLATED CLIMATE SURFACES FOR GLOBAL LAND AREAS

by Robert J. Hijmans, Susan E. Cameron, Juan L. Parra, Peter G. Jones , Andy Jarvis , 2005
"... We developed interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas (excluding Antarctica) at a spatial resolution of 30 arc s (often referred to as 1-km spatial resolution). The climate elements considered were monthly precipitation and mean, minimum, and maximum temperature. Input data were gathered ..."

Human domination of Earth’s ecosystems

by Peter M. Vitousek, Harold A. Mooney, Jane Lubchenco, Jerry M. Melillo - Science , 1997
"... Human alteration of Earth is substantial and growing. Between one-third and one-half interact with the atmosphere, with aquatic of the land surface has been transformed by human action; the carbon dioxide con- systems, and with surrounding land. Morecentration in the atmosphere has increased by near ..."

Normalization for cDNA microarray data: a robust composite method addressing single and multiple slide systematic variation

by Yee Hwa Yang, Sandrine Dudoit, Percy Luu, Vivian Peng , 2002
"... There are many sources of systematic variation in cDNA microarray experiments which affect the measured gene expression levels (e.g. differences in labeling efficiency between the two fluorescent dyes). The term normalization refers to the process of removing such variation. A constant adjustment is ..."

Climate and atmospheric history of the past 420,000 years from the Vostok ice core,

"... Antarctica has allowed the extension of the ice record of atmospheric composition and climate to the past four glacial-interglacial cycles. The succession of changes through each climate cycle and termination was similar, and atmospheric and climate properties oscillated between stable bounds. Inte ..."

temperature and precipitation rate, moisture source conditions, wind strength and aerosol fluxes of marine, volcanic, terrestrial, cosmogenic and anthropogenic origin. They are also unique with their entrapped air inclusions in providing direct records of past changes in atmospheric trace-gas composition

Culture and Global Sourcing∗

by Yuriy Gorodnichenko, Bohdan Kukharskyy, Gerard Roland , 2015
"... This paper develops a model of global sourcing with culturally dissimilar countries. Production of final goods requires the coordination of decisions between the headquarter of a multinational firm and managers of their component suppliers. Managers of both units are assumed to have strong beliefs a ..."

Contractual Frictions and Global Sourcing

by Pol Antràs, Elhanan Helpman , 2007
"... We generalize the Antràs and Helpman (2004) model of the international organization of production in order to accommodate varying degrees of contractual frictions. In particular, we allow the degree of contractibility to vary across inputs and countries. A continuum of …rms with heterogeneous produc ..."
