The supply of water by the soil to meet the transpirational demand of crops, has been modelled on the assumption that water supply is directly related to soil water potential. Results of field testing and discussion.
The supply of land to a use may result from individual suppliers maximizing utility. As a consequence: the slope of the supply curve cannot be determined a priori| supply will be influenced by the distribution of non-land income| different tenure
the rate of tax, the tax base, and the supplier's compensating variation.
Business networks and suppliers' locational choice
The A. examines the circumstances under which proximity is important to assemblers and suppliers in the South Korean auto industry. He analyzes the power relations between the national state, assemblers as the chaebol, and suppliers and offers
a multifaceted causal analysis of suppliers's spatial patterns. Suppliers who transact with several assemblers are more powerful in their markets and freer in their location decisions than are dedicated suppliers and prefer remaining in the Seoul metropolitan

The significance and structure of hotel food supply in Jamaica
In Jamaica, hotel food demand does not provide overall a major stimulus for food production. Hotel food supply is dominated by a few large and modern wholesale firms that supply mainly imported food and by individual suppliers who provide locally

This study refers to the contribution of postponed manufacturing to the way industrial companies organize international supply chains in Europe. It concludes that postponed manufacturing can contribute to the competitiveness of industrial companies
based on the formation of multiple strategic capabilities. This is however, under the influence of the organizational heritage of the company, the operating context of the supply chain and requires a geographical reconfiguration of the supply chain
The effects of rapid increases in labor supply on service employment in developing countries
Effects of a Colombian civil war (1948-1958) on the structure of employment and earnings in Bogota. The resulting increase on labor supply has little effect on the share of services in the labor force. It suggests that the service employment may

On the plausibility of the supply-driven input-output model : empirical evidence on joint stability
Simulations with the supply-driven version of an input-output table for a representative region are shown to result in changes in the corresponding production coefficients well within conventional tolerance levels.
The reconstruction of bed material yield and supply histories in gravel-bed streams
This paper details a basic method for estimation of both bed material yield and supply rates for a glaciated catchment. A simple regression relationship between discharge and erosion volume was used to predict the work done by the channel
in the absence of bed material supply from upstream. The bed material that must have been supplied from upstream between any 2 monitoring periods could then be determined by calculating the amont of sediment that had to be supplied to the reach between DTM
An investigation is conducted of the extent to which land supply, the operation of the planning system, affects house prices in Britain during the 1980s, and how far planning places a constraint on land supply or simply reorganises that supply
. A planning area is then looked to examine the extent to which increased land allocations in one area can compensate for constraints on land supply in another. The planning system imposes significant costs and it restricts the choice available for consumers.
