South Africa's form of globalisation : a continental posture paradox for insertion and dependence
Development strategy ; Economic dependency ; Economic integration ; Economic policy ; Foreign investment ; Globalization ; Identity ; Liberalisation ; South Africa
The A. argues that South Africa's form of globalisation is paradoxical. Occurring through political and economic liberalisation, globalisation of South Africa is an old story of insertion for dependence on foreign capital.
Craft industries in Ilorin : dependency or independence?
Dependency theorists would state that craft industries would have disappeared during the colonial period. A study in Ilorin of bead makers bears this out, but weavers and potters have been able to expand their trades. - (EMS)
Dependancy and underdevelopment in north-western Sierra Leone, 1896-1939
A study of the economic history of north-western Sierra Leone throws light on its present development. As an internal colony of the Freetown imperial centre, it was not uniformly underdeveloped and dependent. (EMS).

The article introduces spatial dependence in a continuous-time modeling framework. The structural equation model with spatial dependence is the first dynamic one. A simple regional labor market model for Germany is illustrated, comprising changes
Do history and geography matter? Regional unemployment dynamics in a resource-dependent economy : evidence from Western Australia, 1984–2011
Australia ; Employment ; Export ; Local economy ; Local labour market ; Natural resources ; Path dependence ; Regional economy ; Unemployment ; Western Australia
Through the example of the local unemployment market of the Perth metropolitan region between 1984 and 2011, the AA. test the key notions of path dependence, place dependence, and equilibrium dependence in the context of a ‘peripheral’ resource
dependent and export-oriented economy. They find evidence of ‘weak’ path dependence in the evolution of local unemployment rates, with a small number of local labor markets exhibiting ‘strong’ equilibrium dependence. Furthermore, they find evidence of ‘place
’ dependence, particularly between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan labor markets, suggesting the existence of a ‘patchwork economy’.
Study measures dependency in northeastern Sonora as Mexico followed three different development models : liberalism (American Capitalist Era of 1895-1961), import substitution (Mexican Era of 1961-1982), and neoliberalism (Free Trade Era of 1982
-present). Dependency criteria are : lack of urban hierarchy, dendritic flow of goods, marked concentration of wealth, and simplified social stratification. The American Era witnessed increased dependency, the Mexican Era promoted a more equitable share
Caring for workers' dependents. Gender, class and local state practice in Melbourne
Focusing on child-care provision, but with some reference also to services for aged dependents, the paper describes the community-service practice of two Melbourne municipalities and the class and gender biases they incorporate.
Pension payouts, periodic markets and the continuance of urban dependence in rural South Africa
Economic dependency ; Periodic market ; Retired people ; Rural area ; Rural development ; South Africa
The former homelands of South Africa are characterised by extreme poverty, high levels of urban dependence, a reliance on pensions and low levels of agricultural production. A cas study in the Eastern Cape illustrates the importance of pensions
Time-dependency of runoff velocity and erosion : the effect of the initial soil moisture profile
The variations in erosion rate should depend on and be predictable from the initial moisture content profile and the erosivity of the flow. The present paper presents the results of a series of experiments which were carried out to collect
the necessary data to verify this hypothesis and to establish to what extent knowledge of the initial soil moisture profile can be used to predict time-dependency of erosion rates.
Topology and dependency tests in spatial and network autoregressive models
The objective of the paper is to investigate, within a simulation setting, the ability of spatial dependency tests to identify a spatial/network autoregressive model when two network topology measures, namely degree distribution and clustering
, are controlled. Drawing a large data set of controlled social networks, the impact of network topology on dependency tests is investigated under a hierarchy of factors.
Methodological considerations in the analysis of residential mobility : a test of duration, state dependence, and associated events
The empirical analysis uses the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and discrete-time logistic regression models to include duration dependence, state dependence, associated events and nonstationarity in models of residential mobility for both renters
