Описание: Between 2003 and 2008, Croatia s rapid growth was fueled by rising domestic consumption, growing deficits, an increased dependence on international finance. Such growth is unlikely to resume in the near future, imposing social and economic costs. In this context, exports are critically important for Croatia s development and employment generation. However, the country s trade performance has been lackluster since the financial crisis. Export openness is lower than in countries with similar income levels, and the country s per capita GDP has stagnated. Low export diversification, weak competitiveness, and reduced technological sophistication help to explain stagnant exports. The fundamental problem is the failure to renew and transform the manufacturing base, which is linked to low rates of firm entry and exit. Another marker of a sluggish economy is the inadequate level of business research and development expenditure by Croatian enterprises and the weak governance framework for research and innovation, which is impairing the impact of research and development spending. In this context, Smart Specialization in Croatia aims to provide insights to the country s smart specialization strategy (RIS3) by looking at the main constraints and opportunities that it faces in its economic progress along three interrelated dimensions: trade, firm productivity, and research and development. The report also includes four case studies to illustrate potential RIS3 approaches to spur research and innovation specialization at the regional level. The report s ultimate objective is to help develop a strategy that fosters productivity growth, job creation, and a more diversified export structure."

Vertical Specialization and Inclusive Growth in China" discusses the two interrelated developments that have transformed the Chinese economy in recent years. First, the global community has increased calls to foster inclusive economic growth, with China embracing this trend. Second, the explosive growth in China s trade resulting from international vertical specialization production and trade networks which has complicated the notion of inclusive growth in the Chinese context.

This book assesses these two trends quantitatively, giving evidence of the link between vertical specialization and inclusive growth, and then decomposing the inclusive growth effects of vertically specialized trade into six components: GDP growth, export growth, FDI, environment, employment, and innovation. It further explores the differing impact of conventional trade and processing trade on inclusive growth, providing direction for future policy. This second book by the author to consider vertical specialization stresses the importance of integration in driving inclusive growth.
Argues that inclusive growth and vertical specialization analyses must be performed togetherGives quantitative evidence for the link between vertical specialization and inclusive growth in ChinaInvestigates the different impact of conventional trade and processing trade on transition to inclusive growth in China, using comparative analysis techniquesOffers insight on forming future policy in China to increase inclusive growth"

Описание:

In modern physics, various fundamental problems have become topics of ongoing debate. There was the 20th century climb to a Standard Model, still accurate at the highest energy levels obtainable so far. But, since the 1970's, a different approach to physics advocates for theories such as string theory, known for their mathematical elegance, even though they either cannot be verified in data or contradict presently known experimental results. In philosophy of physics, there is a gradually emerging consensus that philosophy of physics and physics somehow contribute to a common enterprise. But, there is little sign of progress toward consensus about the nature of that unity. All the while, it is generally recognized that physics is interdisciplinary. There are, of course, differences in focus. But, implicitly at least, there are no "sharp dividing lines" between physics and philosophy of physics; pure and applied physics; physical chemistry; biophysics; medical physics; history and philosophy of physics; physics and society; physics education; and so on. What, then, is progress in physics? The question here is not about ideal structures, but asks about what is going on in physics. Beginnings in discerning the presence of eight main tasks help reveal the (pre-) emergence of a normative omni-disciplinary basis for collaboration that, once adverted to, promises to be constitutive of a new and increasingly effective control of meaning. Originally discovered by Bernard Lonergan in 1965, progress in the new collaboration will not seek to eliminate specialized expertise. It will, though, divide tasks within an eightfold functional division of labor. This book invites attention to data for each of the eight main tasks evident and self-evident in existing scholarship in the community. The book also makes preliminary efforts toward envisioning something of what functional collaboration will look like -- in physics, the Academy and Society.
