Truesdell, David M. "Chinas Demographic Limits to Economic Growth." Thesis, Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10945/7421.

Full text

Abstract:

China's demographic transition will create great difficulty in continuing the scale of the economic development seen over the last thirty years. This difficulty will be experienced through the costs of the demographic detour, which began during the Great Leap Forward and was then magnified through the birth limiting campaigns up to and including the One-Child Policy. While the skewing of the dependency ratio over the last thirty years resulted in significant contributions to Chinas economic development, this has reached a limit where the unborn laborers will present a strain on development.

Abstract:

This work explores the relationship between corporate and economic growth within the United States since 1929. The corporate share of GDP climbed from 52.5 percent in 1929 to 59.7 percent in 2005. Depending upon the years included and the method of estimating respective growth rates, this increasing share of GDP accounts for up to 14 percent of real domestic corporate growth. However, the domestic corporate share of GDP can never exceed 100 percent. Subject to numerous assumptions, the models presented here estimate that this source of corporate growth could be exhausted as early as the y

Abstract:

The breakthrough of the concept of economic growth in economics marks a paradigm shift in thinking about the economy and its place in 'reality.' This thesis analyzes the 20th century discourse of economic growth, focusing its unlimited connotations. The thesis consists of four case studies, two introductory parts and a concluding discussion. Part II first gives an etymological outline of how the concept 'growth' transformed: from signifying natural processes, to become crucial within economics. The main focus is on the historiography around Adam Smith and the classical economists as 'fathers

Abstract:

In spite of the fact that it is one of the most widely researched subjects in plant biology, the physiology of salt tolerance is still not well understood. This research was undertaken to investigate salt tolerance in the extreme halophyte, Salicornia bigelovii Torr. Halophytes, plants that are naturally salt tolerant, are well suited to research on salt tolerance because millions of years of evolution have fine tuned their adaptation to high salinity to the extent that their growth is inhibited when they are grown in reduced salinity. S. bigelovii was grown in different concentrations of NaCl

At a time when nearly every nation seeks to increase the size of its economy, Daly has been an ardent advocate of setting limits to economic growth, arguing that, as the earth is materially closed, there cannot be infinite growth of the consumption of material and energy resources within a finite (nongrowing) biosphere. These limits should be defined b

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Juliet B. Schor<br>A key emergent issue in debates over how to respond to climate change is whether wealthy countries can continue to pursue endless economic growth and still meet emissions targets called for by scientists. This study examines how and why ideas of sufficiency--which emphasize the need to limit production and consumption growth--have emerged in this context, despite great obstacles in growth-oriented societies more favourable to "business-as-usual" or ecological modernization ("green growth") approaches. These issues are examined through a comparative case study

Abstract:

This thesis links the limits of tourism growth and social exchange theory (SET) through tourism impacts perceptions of residents. SET has been the most widely used theory to explain the perceptions by residents of tourism since their participation in tourism can be understood as an exchange in which they receive benefits in exchange for costs. In its entirety, this thesis explains the limits of tourism growth through the language of SET and aims to confirm certain aspects of the combination of both. Firstly, it confirms that the indicators of the limits of tourism growth do not necessarily coi

Abstract:

Vicinal surfaces consist of terraces separated by atomic steps. In the step-flow regime, deposited atoms (adatoms) diffuse on terraces, eventually reaching steps where they attach to the crystal, thereby causing the steps to move. There are two main objectives of this work. First, we analyze rigorously the differences in qualitative behavior between vicinal surfaces consisting of infinitely many steps and nanowires whose top surface consists of a small number of steps bounded by a reflecting wall. Second, we derive the continuum model that describes the macroscopic behavior of vicinal surfaces

The work of Kenneth Boulding is sometimes cited as being foundational to the understanding of how the economy interacts with the environment and particularly of relevance to ecological economists. The main reference made in this regard is to his seminal essay using the metaphor of planet Earth as a spaceship. In this paper that essay and related work is placed both within historical context of the environmental movement and developments in the thought on environment-economy interactions. The writing by Boulding in this area is critically reviewed and discussed in relationship to the work

Abstract:

The permaculture concept was coined by Australian scientists Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in 1978. In the beginning, permaculture was presented as a framework for designing self-sustaining cultivation systems which mimic natural ecosystems in as much as possible, in order to make the most use of existing natural resources and minimize the harm done to nature by the agricultural processes. Today, the scope of permaculture has widened to also entail the designing of sustainable social systems and permaculture claims to propose holistic and practical solutions to sustainability challenges of

Abstract:

The Nigerian stock market has been underperforming in recent years partly due to the bias of the investors towards the issuance of bonds and other debt instruments by governments and corporate organisations. And over the years, Nigeria’s pension funds’ assets under management has grown massively into a potential investment capital capable of closing investment gap in the Nigerian stock market to deepen the market in terms of the depth and liquidity and promote the economic development of the nation. However, this is being curtailed by the extremely low investment limit of pension fund assets i

The development of a stereotyped pattern of neural connectivity depends upon the behavior of growth cones, motile structures at the tips of axons that propel axon growth and steer the axon to its targets. When growth cones reach their appropriate target cells, they halt and ultimately remodel into stationary presynaptic boutons. The influence of extracellular cues in directing growth cones to their targets is well studied, but cell-intrinsic factors are also increasingly appreciated for their role in driving much of growth cone behavior.

Abstract:

Several lakes located in the blast zone of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens were studied to determine if the plankton in the lakes were limited in their growth by nitrogen or phosphorus availability. Long term nutrient enrichment experiments were performed on lake water from five lakes and measures of chlorophyll-a, carbon fixation, and nutrient uptake were used to evaluate the extent of limitation. Nutrient concentrations, ratios, and uptake from 14 lakes provided additional evidence for limitation by nitrogen and/or phosphorus. The physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of t

Abstract:

Moose in Utah represent the southernmost naturally occurring populations of moose in the world. Concerns over possible numeric declines and a paucity of baseline data on moose in the state prompted the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to initiate a study of moose demography in collaboration with Utah State University. The objectives of this study were to 1) determine reproductive rates of moose in Utah and the factors which influence them, and 2) combine aerial count data from multiple management units within the state to identify factors which influence interannual variation in population

As firmas atuando em redes de cooperação são mais do que a simples soma dos seus elementos constituintes. De certa forma, uma vez formada, a rede de cooperação pode ser encarada como se fosse uma nova firma, ou seja, uma nova coordenadora de atividades com um conjunto novo de conhecimentos, recursos, capacidades e competências. Entretanto, após a formação da rede, o desenvolvimento dessa está condicionado a superar os limites internos e externos a elas impostos. Para superar esses limites é preciso que a rede modifique com sucesso as rotinas já estabelecidas, ou seja, através da inovação. É as

Abstract:

Healthy transparent cornea depends upon the regulation of fluid, nutrient and oxygen transport through the tissue to sustain cell metabolism and other critical processes for normal functioning. This research considers the corneal geometry and investigates oxygen distribution using a two-dimensional Monod kinetic model, showing that previous studies make assumptions that lead to predictions of near-anoxic levels of oxygen tension in the limbal regions of the cornea. It also considers the comparison of experimental spatial and temporal data with the predictions of novel mathematical models with

Abstract:

Aspects of the biology and ecology of Patella granularis were investigated along a 130km stretch of the south-east coast of South Africa. Distribution, biomass, density and population structure were investigated at seven localities. In addition, a more detailed study of the growth rate and reproductive biology of populations inhabiting three different substrata (aeolianite, quartzitic sandstone and mussel shells) was conducted. The genetic relationships between these three populations was also examined, as was the foraging behaviour of the limpets inhabiting an aeolianite and a quartzitic sand

Abstract:

Corporate entrepreneurship is examined with specific reference to the South African Broadcasting Corporation Limited (SABC). As such, a historic overview is given of the SABC followed by a review of the present day situation. Factors which could specifically make corporate entrepreneurship a beneficial strategy should the SABC wish to adopt it, is also discussed in order to set the scene for the literature study to follow. These factors include the fierce competitive environment, the commercial funding model, the internal structures and the strained internal and third party relationships. The
