Enrico Tanuwidjaja∗ National University of Singapore‚ Department of Economics E-mail: g0305812@nus.edu.sg May 2004 Abstract The Phillips curve is generally been estimated in a linear framework‚ which implies a constant relationship between inflation and unemployment. Lately‚ there have been several studies‚ which claim that the slope of Phillips curve is function of macroeconomics conditions and that

4. What are the pros and cons of management using theexperience curve to determine strategy? The experience curve is an idea developed by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in the mid-1960s. Working with a leading manufacturer of semiconductors‚ the consultants noticed that the company’s unit cost of manufacturing fell by about 25% for each doubling of the volume that it produced. This relationship they called the experience curve: the more experience a firm has in producing a particular product

The play Real Women Have Curves by Josephina Lopez‚ and the film by director Patricia Cardoso‚ portray Mexican culture differently but both manage to perpetuate stereotypes. They do this by showing how Mexicans can be very family oriented‚ are paranoid immigrants‚ and put work before schooling. These factors shown by the play and film are crucial because they help the audience fabricate stereotypes about Mexican culture. The play and film do a great job in distributing the idea that Mexicans are

1.0 Introduction In ecology‚ a species-area curve is a relationship between the area of a habitat‚ or of part of a habitat‚ and the number of species found within that area. Larger areas tend to contain larger numbers of species‚ and empirically‚ the relative numbers seem to follow systematic mathematical relationships. The species-area relationship is usually constructed for a single type of organism‚ such as all vascular plants or all species of a specific trophic level within a particular

In 1960 Edward Lorenz was working on a weather prediction problem‚ he had a computer set up to model the weather with twelve equations. His computer program did not predict the weather‚ but theoretically predicted what the weather might be. In 1961 Edward Lorenz wanted to see a specific sequence again‚ to save time he began in the

One of the most influential people in the history of imprinting is Konrad Lorenz. Lorenz was originally known as one of the father’s of ethology. Ethology is the zoological study of animal behavior. One of the key concepts of ethology is the discovery that predictable behavioral programs are inherited from parents and portions of programs are open to natural selection and modification (Wikipedia‚ 2002). In the 1930’s Lorenz theoretically analyzed imprinting. He had two major revelations on imprinting

systems) would seem to be disordered or random or at least unpredictable. Chaos theory tries to find some underlying order in what appears to be random events or data. Edward Lorenz was an early pioneer of the theory. He was working on weather predictions in 1961 and was using a computer to help with the calculations. Lorenz had initiated a sequence of data based on twelve variables in his attempt to predict weather. He wanted to see the sequence again‚ so re-entered the data. To save time‚ he began
