Emigrants’ Remittances and Dutch Disease in Cape Verde

Emigrants remittances have increased rapidly over the past two decades. While earlier studies have focused on their microeconomic effect on incomes and poverty in recipient countries, the present study concentrates on the macroeconomic impact of remittances on the real exchange rate in Cape Verde. A main conclusion is that remittances give rise to a sort of Dutch Disease effect and thereby have an

Channel Measurements and Analysis for Very Large Array Systems At 2.6 GHz

Abstract in UndeterminedVery large MIMO is a technique that potentially can offer large network capacities in multi-user scenarios where the users are equipped only with single antennas. In this paper we are investigating channel properties for a realistic, though somewhat extreme, outdoor base station scenario using a large array. We present measurement results using a 128 element linear array ba

Generating Real Business Value: Transcending the Socio-Technical Dimension.

Changes in technologies which have put computing power on the desktop over the past 25 years give an impression of increased empowerment for the end-user when compared to previous generations of hardware and software. However, in practice, latest developments in desktop computing and related technologies have led to more and more centralized control of ‘end-users’ workspaces. This phenomenon leads

Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in soil

We review the current knowledge on biodiversity in soils, its role in ecosystem processes, its importance for human purposes, and its resilience against stress and disturbance. The number of existing species is vastly higher than the number described, even in the macroscopically visible taxa, and biogeographical syntheses are largely lacking. A major effort in taxonomy and the training of a new ge

The African Food Crisis: Lessons from the Asian Green Revolution.

This book is the outcome of a three-year project coordinated by a group of Swedish researchers and with collaborating scholars from Africa and Asia. It provides a comparative study between Asian agricultural development during the Green Revolution in food production and the current problematic agricultural situation in sub-Saharan Africa. Case studies of eight African and eight Asian countries (fo
