Development of Metabolic Function Biomarkers in the Common Marmoset, Callithrix jacchus
Metabolic assessment of a non-human primate model of metabolic syndrome and obesity requires the necessary biomarkers specific to the species. While the rhesus monkey has a number of specific assays for assessing metabolic syndrome, the marmoset does not. Furthermore, the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has a small blood volume that necessitates using a single blood volume for multiple analyses. The common marmoset holds a great potential as…
Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Africa
Despite economic and institutional reform in Africa during the past decade, the flow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the region continues to be disappointing and uneven. In this study we use the fixed and random effects models to explore whether the stylized determinants of FDI affect FDI flows to Africa in conventional ways. Based on a panel dataset for 29 African countries over the period 1975 to 1999, the paper identifies the following f…
A Welfare-Based Evaluability Assessment of Structural Adjustment Programs in Africa
The typical methods of evaluating the impact of Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) are based on macroeconomic indicators such as the GDP growth rate, budget deficits, inflation and balance of payments disequilibrium. These methods have a tendency to take Human Development Indicators (HDIs) such as health, education, infant mortality and life expectancy for granted. In this paper, we develop a methodology for evaluating the relationship between…
