Technological knowledge progress: Were famous laws almost correct in developing and emerging economies?

Do the famous laws of the motion of technological progress like the Moore's Law, Wright's Law, Goddard's Law, and their derivatives explain the technological knowledge progress of developing and emerging economies? The aim of this paper is to investigate that question. For that purpose, we rationalize an existing framework (Nagy et al. 2013) and employ it on a panel data set of 66 developing and emerging market economies over the 1995-2017 period.

An Instrumental Variable Probit (IVP) analysis on depressed mood in Korea: the impact of gender differences and other socio-economic factors.

Background: Depression is a mental health state whose frequency has been increasing in modern societies.

Correlates of out-of-pocket and catastrophic health expenditures in Tanzania: results from a national household survey.

Background: Inequality in health services access and utilization are influenced by out-of-pocket health expenditures in many low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Various antecedents such as social factors, poor health and economic factors are proposed to direct the choice of health care service use and incurring out-of-pocket payments. We investigated the association of these factors with out-of-pocket health expenditures among the adult and older population in the United Republic of Tanzania.
