In an estimated two-country DSGE model, we find that efficiency shocks specific to investment account for more than half of the forecast variance of cyclical fluctuations in the US trade balance. Both domestic and foreign investment-specific shocks have a ...
Ghent University Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Working Paper 2008/5442011
Global food security increasingly relies on the trade of food commodities. Freshwater resources are essential to agricultural production and are thus embodied in the trade of food commodities, referred to as "virtual water trade." Agricultural production p ...
This paper describes a macroscopic model of the chemo-thermo-poromechanical behaviour of a hydrating cement paste. The hydrating cement is viewed as an open hardening porous medium. The increments of elastic and viscoelastic strain, pore pressure, temperat ...
Gait characteristics and balance are altered in diabetic patients. Little is known about possible treatment strategies. This study evaluates the effect of a specific training programme on gait and balance of diabetic patients. ...
We have found that the brainstem-spinal cord circuitry of decerebrated cats actively maintain the equilibrium during standing, walking and imposed mechanical perturbations similar to that observed in intact animals. The corrective hindlimb motor responses ...
The Millennium Development Goals – proclaimed in the year 2000 and aimed at guiding the planet’s management and its priorities for the next fifteen years – were widely based on the concept of “sustainable development”. This concept will be once again broad ...
We study trade policy in a two-sector Krugman (1980) trade model, allowing for production, import and export subsidies/taxes. We consider non-cooperative and cooperative trade policy, first for each individual instrument and then for the situation where al ...

The resonance fluorescence of a two-level single molecular system interacting with a plasmonic nanostructure is investigated. Specific regions of space are identified, where a balance exists between the near-field enhancement and the modification of the de ...
Aims: Gait characteristics and balance are altered in diabetic individuals. Little is known about possible treatment strategies. This study evaluated the effect of a specific training program on diabetic patients' gait. ...
