Whereas impressive information concerning foreign direct investment in the United States in general is available, there has been surprisingly few statistical investigations concerning the choice of entry modes. The objective of this article is two-fold. First, original data regarding the choice of entry
MAPS: Multiresolution Adaptive Parameterization of Surfaces
, 1998
"... We construct smooth parameterizations of irregular connectivity triangulations of arbitrary genus 2-manifolds. Our algorithm uses hierarchical simplification to efficiently induce a parameterization of the original mesh over a base domain consisting of a small number of triangles. This initial param ..."

The approach of institutional economics
- Journal of Economic Literature
, 1998
"... Thorstein Veblen proposed that economics should be reconstructed as a “post-Darwinian” science. One of the aims of this essay is to explore the meaning of this statement.

by the time of Veblen’s death. In this context, the appearance of the book by David Hamilton (1953)—especially with its original title of Newtonian Classicism and Darwinian Institutionalism—is all the more remarkable. It reestablished the Veblenian links between Darwinism and institutionalism that most

presumably ignored in the original definition of BC 3 . Dust, which also absorbs solar radiation, is not included in the definition of BC. Globally, the annual emissions of BC are (for the year 1996) 8 Tg yr -1 (ref. 4), with about 20% from biofuels, 40% from fossil fuels and 40% from open biomass burning
Nine second-order national elections: a conceptual framework for the analysis of European election results
- European Journal of Political Research
, 1980
"... The composition of the directly elected European Parliament does not precisely reflect the “real ” balance of political forces in the European Community. As long as the national political systems decide most of what there is t o be decided politi-cally, and everything really important, European elec ..."

elections are additional national second-order elections. They are determined more by the domestic political cleav-ages than by alternatives originating in the EC, but in a different way than if nine first-order national elections took place simultaneously. This is the case because European elections occur

The role of intergeneration transfers and life-cycle saving in the accumulation of wealth
- Journal of Economic Perspectives

In the early Keynesian period when the study of national saving first attracted wide interest, relatively little attention was paid to what led people to save, though it was generally understood that the main systematic reason was to leave bequests.
