Product standards, imperfect competition and completion of the market in the European Union
Harrison, Glenn, Rutherford, Thomas, Tarr, David
The authors model the static and steady-state effects on trade, production, and market structure of completion of the European Union's (EU's) internal market. The impetus for change comes from the...
Telecommunications reform within Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization
Jensen, Jesper, Rutherford, Thomas, Tarr, David
In World Trade Organization (WTO) accession negotiations, telecommunications is always a sector that receives close scrutiny by the WTO Working Party, and the extent of market access and...
Trade and direct investment in producer services and the domestic market for expertise
James Markusen, Thomas Rutherford, David Tarr
Foreign producer services can provide substantial benefits for domestic firms. We build on earlier monopolistic-competition models of intermediate producer services in this paper. Results show that:...
Serum protein markers for early detection of ovarian cancer
Mor, Gil, Visintin, Irene, Lai, Yinglei, Zhao, Hongyu, Schwartz, Peter, Rutherford, Thomas, ...
Early diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) would significantly decrease the morbidity and mortality from this disease but is difficult in the absence of physical symptoms. Here, we report a...
Regional impacts of Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization
Rutherford, Thomas, Tarr, David
In this paper we develop a computable general equilibrium model of the regions of Russia to assess the impact of accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) on the regions of Russia. We estimate...

Early diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) would significantly decrease the morbidity and mortality from this disease but is difficult in the absence of physical symptoms. Here, we report a...
Jesper Jensen, Thomas Rutherford, David Tarr
In this paper a computable general equilibrium model of the Russian economy is used to assess the impact of accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), which encompasses improved market access,...
MyD88 predicts chemoresistance to paclitaxel in epithelial ovarian cancer
Silasi, Dan-Arin, Alvero, Ayesha B., Illuzzi, Jessica, Kelly, Michael, Chen, Rui, Fu, Han-Hsuan, ...
Introduction: Early identification of chemoresistance in patients with ovarian cancer is of utmost importance in order to provide them with the most appropriate therapy. Recently, we described the...

The Importance of Telecommunications Reform in Russia's Accession to the WTO
JESPER JENSEN, THOMAS RUTHERFORD, THOMAS RUTHERFORD, THOMAS RUTHERFORD
What can Russia gain from committing to reform its telecommunications sector as part of its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO)? We employ a computable general equilibrium model of the...
Jensen, Jesper, Rutherford, Thomas, Tarr, David
The authors use a computable general equilibrium model of the Russian economy to assess the impact of accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), which encompasses improved market access, tariff...
Rutherford, Thomas, Tarr, David, Shepotylo, Oleksandr
The authors use a computable general equilibrium comparative static model of the Russian economy to assess the impact of accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) on income distribution and the...
Rutherford, Thomas, Tarr, David, Shepotylo, Oleksandr
Taking price changes from the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model of world trade, the authors use a small open economy computable general equilibrium comparative static model of the Russian...
Carbon Abatement and International Spillovers
Christoph Böhringer, Thomas Rutherford
Carbon abatement policies in large open economies affect both the allocation of domestic resources and international market prices. A change in international prices implies an indirect secondary...

An Implementation of the Generalized Basis Reduction Algorithm for Integer Programming
William Cook, Thomas Rutherford, Herbert E. Scarf, David F. Shallcross
In recent years many advances have been made in solution techniques for specially structured 0-1 integer programming problems. In contrast, very little progress has been made on solving general...
This paper reports on an implementation of Mathiesen's sequential method for solving applied general equilibrium models. In this approach, the underlying nonlinear complementarity problem is solved...
A Modeling System for Applied General Equilibrium Analysis
Numerical modeling in the Arrow-Debreu framework has emerged as a consistent approach for economic analysis. A major disadvantage of the applied general equilibrium (AGE) framework has been the high...
