The effect of employee retention on the demand for on-the-job training
(1977)
Most models of the demand for on-the-job training do not consider on-the-job training in the context of the demand for other inputs. Furthermore, the impact on employee retention of industry structure, employee characteristics, ...
Reflection and refraction of solitary waves : a numerical investigation
(1977)
Solitary waves represent an unambiguous tool for the initial study of the propagation of long, nonlinear, dispersive water waves. A numerical model, based on an appropriate set of equations for approximating these waves ...
A modeling analysis of lake ecosystem responses to inorganic fertilization
(1977)
Separate mathematical models for phytoplankton and fish were developed to describe nominal dynamics and responses to single applications of fertilizer in Postoak Lake, Texas. Models were based on data from three fertilization ...
Transmission of monetary policy in an open economy : a theoretical model applicable to Finland
(1977)
A high degree of international capital mobility considerably reduces the effectiveness of monetary policy in small open economies under the system of fixed exchange rates. The extent to which monetary policy actions are ...

(1977)
In past decades, several economists have investigated the determinants of the money supply. They found that the money stock was influenced by both exogeneous and endogeneous factors to the economic system. They have shown ...
A model of metabolizing sinks in plants
(1977)
The basic objectives of this study was to build a model that describes the physiology of sinks. This also includes the process of unloading assimilates from the phloem. The metabolic steps necessary to describe a typical ...
