Abstract: While the role of exports in promoting growth in general, and productivity in particular, has been investigated empirically using aggregate data for countries and industries for a long time, only recently have comprehensive longitudinal data at the firm level been used to look at the extent and causes of productivity differentials between exporters and their counterparts which sell on the domestic market only. This papers surveys the empirical strategies applied, and the results produced, in 45 microeconometric studies with data from 33 countries that were published between 1995 and 2004. Details aside, exporters are found to be more productive than non-exporters, and the more productive firms self-select into export markets, while exporting does not necessarily improve productivity.

TL;DR: The surface tension tables presented in this paper are the result of a literature survey, evaluation, and compilation of data of some 2200 pure liquid compounds, 226 of which were reported for a single temperature.
Abstract: The surface tension tables presented herein are the result of a literature survey, evaluation, and compilation of data of some 2200 pure liquid compounds, 226 of which were reported for a single temperature. These are arranged with related compounds in the increasing order of their molecular weights. As far as possible the method of measurement, nature of atmosphere to which the liquid was exposed during measurements, and the estimated accuracy are given for each liquid. The tabulated values were calculated from the derived results of directly measured quantities reported in the literature of many countries from about 1874 to 1969. Preliminary plots of the experimentally measured quantities indicated that the surface tensions of the liquid compounds are linear functions of the temperature over the reported operational range. The principle of least squares was applied to experimental surface tension values to establish the regression curves and their equations. The constants of the equations (slope and intercept), together with the standard deviations are given for each compound. The selection factors establishing criteria of quality of surface tension data are discussed. These include (a) method of measurement, (b) purity of compound, (c) quality of apparatus and assembly, (d) experimental procedure (experimentation), (e) reliability of measurements (most probable values), (f) experience of investigator, and (g) availability of data. There are 274 references listed alphabetically.

TL;DR: A survey of recent work on poly(ionic liquid)s or polymerized ionic liquids (PILs) can be found in this paper, where a short explanation of the interconnection as well as the intrinsic differences between PILs and ionic liquid is given.
