Technology, Institutions and Allocation of Time in Swedish Households 1920-1990

The modernisation of Swedish households during the twentieth century prompted a considerable productivity growth in household production, which reduced the time input for a fixed volume of routine household work by about 35 per cent 1920-1990. Much of that time was gradually transferred to the labour market, but no evidence can be found for an increase in leisure time. What has been termed a “Cowa

Development of Empirical Equations to Predict Sweating Skin Surface Temperature for Thermal Manikins in Warm Environments.

Clothing evaporative resistance is one of the most important parameters for clothing comfort. The clothing evaporation resistance can be measured on a sweating guarded hotplate, a sweating thermal manikin or a human subject. The sweating thermal manikin gives the most accurate value on evaporative resistance of the whole garment ensemble compared to the other two methods. The determination of clot

Uncertainty and Value Appropriation: An Assessment of Resource-based Theory

This paper addresses the notion of uncertainty in resource-based theory by examining value appropriation as a cause of profit differentials among firms. It is shown that assumptions made within resource-based theory concerning the level of uncertainty in factor and product markets challenges the theory’s internal consistency and limits its ability to explain how economic value is distributed betwe
