The hydraulic joystick controls come standard on the Cat 420D and 430D models. A hydraulic quick coupler is standard with the Integrated Toolcarrier (IT) loader linkage while an array...; Tags: Caterpillar Inc., linkage, joystick; White papers
How Does Foreign Direct Investment Promote Economic Growth?: Exploring The Effects Of Financial Markets on linkages: The empirical literature finds mixed evidence on the existence of positive productivity externalities in the host country generated by foreign multinational companies. We propose a novel mechanism, which emphasizes the role of local financial markets in enabling Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to promote growth through backward linkages, shedding light on...; Tags: Foreign direct investment (FDI), Currency & Foreign exchange, Financial accounting, Investment, University of Houston, foreign direct investment, linkage, financial market, financial; White papers 2006-06-01
Global Links: The Benefits To Domestically-Controlled Plants From Inward Direct Investment: This paper evaluates the effects of inward United States foreign control on the productivity of domestically-controlled plants in Canada over the period from 1980 to 1996. It distinguishes inter-industry "Vertical linkages" effects of foreign control from the intra-industry productivity effects. Canadian Input-Output tables are used to construct proxies for foreign...; Tags: Channel management, linkage, supplier, manufacturing, benefit; White papers 2006-04-01
Trade Liberalisation And Agglomeration With Firm Heterogeneity - Forward And Backward linkages: This paper studies the impact of trade costs reduction on geographical concentration in the presence of firm heterogeneity and overhead type of export fixed costs. Firm heterogeneity with the export fixed costs hampers full agglomeration through weakening the forward and backward linkages and fortifying the market crowding effect. Rather than...; Tags: Heterogeneity, Linkage, Welfare, Free Trade, VOIP, Finance, Telecommunications, Networking; White papers 2006-04-01
Agglomeration And Trade With Input-Output linkages And Capital Mobility: This paper put forth a nesting 'New trade-New Economic Geography' (NEG) model in which agglomeration is driven by input-output linkages among firms, trade in goods and capital mobility. The NEG sub-model exhibits the same positive and dynamic properties as a wide class of models based on other agglomeration mechanisms. Its...; Tags: Linkage, Mobility, London School Of Economics; White papers 2006-02-01

Foreign Direct Investment And Productivity Spillovers: Identifying linkages Through Product-Based Measures: This paper analyzes direct and indirect effects of foreign ownership on productivity in the Turkish manufacturing plants between 1990 and 1996. First, based on Olley-Pakes production function estimates, foreign affiliates are shown to be more productive than local plants. Using sectoral output shares of foreign affiliates and 1990 input-output matrix...; Tags: linkage, affiliate, foreign direct investment, manufacturing, industry; White papers 2005-12-01
Pecuniary and Strategic Interdependencies in the Organization and Dynamics of Vertically Specialized Industries: Industrial economists have sought to explain how firms and industries change over time. The important suggestion that interfirm linkages influence the organization and dynamics of industry has been inadequately addressed. This paper seeks to understand how such linkages are intrinsically involved in industry dynamics. Studying Danish trucking and congress tourism,...; Tags: Strategy, linkage, agent, industry; White papers 2005-06-27
FDI and Trade - Two Way linkages?: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the intertemporal linkages between FDI and disaggregated measures of international trade. It outlines a model exemplifying some of these linkages, describes several methods for investigating two-way feedbacks between various categories of trade, and applies them to the recent experience of developing countries....; Tags: Foreign direct investment (FDI), Currency & Foreign exchange, Investment, National Bureau of Economic Research, foreign direct investment, linkage, developing country, manufacturing; White papers 2005-06-01
Comparative linkage Analysis and Visualization of High-Density Oligonucleotide SNP Array Data: This paper reports the development of a novel software tool called Compare Linkage for automated formatting of the Affymetrix Mapping 10 K genotype data into the "Linkage" format and the subsequent analysis with multi-point linkage software programs such as Merlin and Allegro. The new software has the ability to visualize...; Tags: Tools & Techniques, BioMed Central, linkage, analysis, software, tool; White papers 2005-02-15
Home Injuries and Built Form-Methodological Issues and Developments in Database linkage: The aim of this paper of research is to determine whether injuries in the home are more common in particular types of housing. Previous home injuries research has tended to focus on behaviors or the provision of safety equipment to families with young children. There has been little consideration of...; Tags: Storage, Vertical industries, BioMed Central, safety equipment, database, health care, analysis, environment; White papers 2005-02-02
Multinational Firms, Exclusivity, And The Degree Of Backward linkages: This paper develops a two-tier oligopoly model in which the entry of a multinational firm results in technology transfer to its local suppliers and also impacts the degree of backward linkages in the local industry. The model endogenizes the multinational's choice between anonymous market interaction with its suppliers and contractual...; Tags: Channel management, Southern Methodist University, multinational, linkage, supplier, industry; White papers 2004-07-30
Increasing Returns, Input-Output linkages, and Technological Leapfrogging: Firms agglomerate in one region due to increasing returns, input-output linkages and transportation costs. In the de-industrialized region factor prices are lower and a new technology may be profitable to adopt in that region instead, inducing a change in the technological leadership. This paper shows that the risk of locking...; Tags: Strategy, Lund University, linkage, risk, transportation, leadership, manufacturing, benefit; White papers 2004-06-24
