This study attempts to assess the extent to which LDC trade in manufactures can be explained by the factor proportions theory and the economies of scale account on the one hand, and by commodity characteristics that affect relative efficiency on the other. Among the relative efficiency characteristics that affect trade patterns are R&D intensity, total factor productivity in the more developed countries, factory size, and some input-output measures of the degree to which the industry interacts with the rest of the economy.

No district, region or facility is named in this program's documents yet. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far. Towns and natural features are not drawn.
Countries where this program operated, set by the countries its documents name most often. Countries only tagged on documents are listed apart. Source: document tags, scope rule

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year
