As trade liberalisation has become somewhat of a trend in the global trade environment, developing countries suffer from losses in government revenue due to continuously lowering of tariff rates. Trade facilitation could be an effective way of boosting trade, without having to reduce tariffs which could further lead to an increase in tariff revenue. This paper investigates the likely effects of tr

With a novel path index design, called the Shortcut Index, we partially solve the problem of executing traversal queries on dense neighborhoods in a graph database. We implement our design on top of the graph database Neo4j but it could be used for any graph database that uses the labeled property graph model. By using a B+ tree, the Shortcut Index can achieve what we call neighborhood locality a
This study is concerned with the subject of the resource curse. When countries discover significant natural resource reserves they counterintuitively exhibit dropping growth rates despite its high world market price. Several researchers have studied this phenomenon and labelled it the “resource curse”. They have tracked it to a number of causes, including how massive mineral windfalls affect the p

Since the Washington consensus in the 1980s, economic liberalization has been seen as a panacea for increasing the economic development and the welfare of a developing country.
