Voluntary export restraints, dumping and excess capacity

Article Abstract:

Voluntary export restraints (VERs) have been adopted by developing economies with the aim of providing a temporary limit to competition from exporting economies. Domestic industries are able to adjust to competition from abroad, and exporters can gain access to markets in developed economies in an orderly fashion. VERs have failed to provide protection, and this is because expectations of VERs mean that excess capacity is created leading to future dumping, so VERs can stimulate excess competition.

Carrying capacity: a model with logistically varying limits

Article Abstract:

An extended logistic model of growth where the carrying capacity increases dynamically in a distinct pulse is presented. The effect of this dynamic carrying capacity on the trajectories of simple growth models is analyzed. The new model is then employed to re-analyze two actual cases of human population growth. In testing the model against the population histories of England and Japan, the two cases of population growth seem to verify the model.

Asylum, violence, and the limits of advocacy

Article Abstract:

Anthropologists conducting research on intercultural conflicts, human rights violations and political violence often encounter problems concerning methodology advocacy and ethics. Anthropologists report the difficulty of gaining the trust of insurgents and victims without participating in their struggles. Those who are actively involved in conflicts endanger their chances to return to the country for future work.
