We estimate an econometric model of trends in RJV filings and find that, as intended by the legislation, the propensity of firms to engage in RJVs is sensitive to changes in the global competitiveness of US high-technology industries.
Changes in the weed competitiveness parameter kw affected the profitability of the original optimal sequence and the actual optimal sequence as shown in Fig. 5 (right).
Changes in the wheat crop competitiveness parameter kc affected the profitability of the original optimal sequence and the actual optimal sequence as shown in Fig. 7 (left).
Our results show that the competitiveness of maize bybrids was reduced by breeding, but that variation in architectural plant traits among genotypes was not completely consistent with the changes in their competitiveness.
Changes in the market include increased competitiveness, the need for shorter lead times, shorter product life cycles, pressures on costs and the need for greater responsiveness.
Based on an analysis of aggressivity (AG), the AG of ZD2 relative to YD13 (AGZD2 → YD13) was 0.121, the AG of YD13 relative to ZD909 (AGYD13 → ZD909) was 0.091, the AG of ZD2 relative to ZD909 (AGZD2 → ZD909) was 0.153, and AGZD2 → YD13 + AGYD13 → ZD909 ≠ AGZD2 → ZD909, indicating that the changes in competitiveness were not consistent with the breeding process.
In France, the simulations conducted by the CIRED team with regard to road transport do not give a better estimate of the changes in competitiveness which would have resulted from the CCE.
Such changes will weaken the competitiveness of China's export industries in the international market, affecting economic growth.
The issue has grown importance in the light of the recent changes in the business environment (e.g. competitiveness) and advancement in technology in these emerging economies.
The main objectives of this study were to (1) test Donald's concept of communal ideotype in maize, and (2) determine the specific changes in competitiveness of maize hybrids due to breeding.
