Significance of systems for the professional planner
Creators: name: Fried, Robin Sue
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the significance of systems for the professional planner. It is shown that a clear, comprehensive understanding of complex systems is relevant to the planner's knowledge, attitude, and skills. The thesis commences with a presentation of the basic information regarding complex systems. With the use of examples this information is then related to the urban context. This foundation of knowledge provides a frame of reference for a systems attitude, which is discussed as a theoretical framework for the planning profession. Following this, a skill, systems simulation modelling, is described; a skill which requires a knowledge of complex systems as well as a systems attitude. Schematically representing the essence of this thesis, Figure 1 [figure omitted] contains three major ideas which are emphasized in this work. First, a consistent core of information which may function as both a basis for, and a frame of reference for, the knowledge, attitude, and skills of a planner is depicted. Next, the fact that there is an interaction between the knowledge, attitude, and skills of the individual is illustrated. Finally, the diagram portrays the thesis as a process; a process whereby all aspects are interconnected.
Near-Miss Deterrence: Incorporating Near-Miss Effects into Deterrence Theory

description: We investigate the applications of near-miss effects to theories of effective deterrence. Classical deterrence theory specifies two types of criminal deterrence: general deterrence, in which potential criminals are deterred from offending by the threat of punishment, and specific deterrence, in which criminals who have already offended are deterred from re-offending by experiences with punishment. In this paper, we introduce a novel category of deterrence–Near Miss Deterrence–that falls between general and specific deterrence. Under near-miss deterrence, transgressors do not experience punishment directly, but rather feel a sense of subjective closeness to an avoided punishment and adjust their behavior accordingly. Across two experimental studies (N = 2, 049), we study how individuals behave after getting away with a first instance of cheating, and demonstrate the deterrent effects of near misses. We show that participants who cheat and experience subsequent "close calls" with punishment reduce their cheating in levels comparable to cheaters who are punished. By contrast, participants who avoid punishment by wider margins do not decrease their cheating. We do not find evidence that this effect is driven by transient shifts in affect. These results have important implications for theories of deterrence and for policy.
Efficient Likelihood Ratio Confidence Intervals Using Constrained Optimization

Year: 2022
Subjects: economics

description: Using constrained optimization, we develop a simple, efficient approach (applicable in both unconstrained and constrained maximum-likelihood estimation problems) to computing profile-likelihood confidence intervals. In contrast to Wald-type or score-based inference, the likelihood ratio confidence intervals use all the information encoded in the likelihood function concerning the parameters, which leads to improved statistical properties. In addition, the method does not suffer from the computational burdens inherent in the bootstrap. Moreover, it allows the computation of confidence intervals for transformations of the parameters—including counter-factual model quantities—in a straightforward fashion. In an application to Rust’s (1987) bus-engine replacement problem, our approach does better than either the Wald or the bootstrap methods, delivering very accurate estimates of the confidence intervals quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, we demonstrate how to compute confidence bands for the model-implied demand curve for engine replacement. An extensive Monte Carlo study reveals that in small samples, only likelihood ratio confidence intervals yield reasonable coverage properties, while at the same time discriminating implausible values.
Firm Heterogeneity and the Impact of Immigration: Evidence from German Establishments

description: We revisit the old question of how immigration affects the welfare of native workers. As opposed to most of the previous literature, we look at this question through the lens of firms, as they play a crucial role in immigration and are massively heterogeneous even within sectors. We use a novel establishment-level dataset from Germany to document a new dimension of rm heterogeneity: Large firms spend a higher share of their wage bill on immigrants than small firms. We show analytically and quantitatively that ignoring this heterogeneity in immigrant share leads to biased estimates of the welfare gains from immigration. To do so, we set up and estimate a quantitative model where heterogeneous firms choose their immigrant share, and we validate the model using an instrumental variables strategy. We then use the model to quantify the welfare effects of a 20% increase in the number of immigrants in Germany as observed between 2011 and 2017. The welfare of natives increases both through higher wages and profits, and lower prices, with aggregate welfare gains of $4 billion for native workers and $15 billion for rm owners. A new adjustment mechanism that arises under heterogeneity in the immigrant-share is that native workers reallocate across firms, which mitigates the competition effect between immigrants and natives in the labor market. If we ignore the heterogeneity across firms in immigrant share, we would underestimate the welfare gains of native workers by 11%.

Homeownership, Polarization and Inequality

description: In recent decades, the U.S. labor market has become more unequal and polarized: wage differences have widened and middle-income jobs have been replaced by low and high-income jobs. The rise in inequality and polarization have been more pronounced in large cities. I argue that this can be explained by higher house price growth in big cities, which makes it harder for middle-income households to buy a house there. I build a spatial equilibrium model in which households differ by skill, and choose where to live and whether to rent or own housing. Low-skilled households cannot afford to buy in any location, while the high-skilled can buy anywhere. Meanwhile, the middle-skilled can only buy a house in affordable places. Thus, the middle of the skill distribution in expensive locations empties out, making them more polarized and unequal. Empirical evidence supports these predictions. First, middle-income households are more likely to move to states with lower house prices for housing-related reasons than those with low or high income. Second, polarization and inequality grew more in commuting zones where prices increased the most. Counterfactual experiments show that rising price-wage and price-rent ratios account for 12% to 21% of the increase in low and high-paid jobs and for 7% to 10% of the growth in the variance of log wages in the 20 largest commuting zones since 1980.

title: Ultrahigh-vacuum and ambient-pressure characterisation of nickel model catalysts for enantioselective hydrogenation reactions
Creators: name: Tsaousis, Panayiotis
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: The adsorption of (R,R) tartaric acid (TA) on clean and oxidised Ni{100}, (S)- alanine and MAA on Ni{100} and the co-adsorption of (S)-alanine and water on Ni{110} was investigated, under UHV conditions, to obtain fundamental insights into the enantioselective sites of the chirally modified nickel catalyst, which causes the asymmetric hydrogenation of β-ketoesters. The TA/Ni{100} and (S)- alanine/Ni{100} system was also investigated under ambient pressure conditions. The characterisation of these adsorbed complexes was performed using XPS, NEXAFS, TPD, LEED and DFT. The temperature of the crystal, the dosing rate of the TA molecule and its surface coverage influence the chemical state and adsorption geometry of TA on Ni{100} (µ4/TA2- or µ2/µ3/HTA- ) with the latter being favoured, also, at elevated pressures of H2 and H2O. Deposition of TA on oxidised Ni{100}, causes the formation of tartrate species which fully decompose on the nickel surface at T>650 K (200 degrees higher than on clean Ni{100}). (S)-alanine chemisorbs on Ni{100} and Ni{110}, in its anionic and neutral form with coexistence of zwitterionic species which might not be a part of the chemisorbed layer, since these zwitterionic species are dominating the multilayer regime. The presence of PH2= 6.3 mbar destabilises thermally the alanine molecule on Ni{100} and cause the formation of neutral and (perhaps zwitterionic species) of alanine. The presence of multilayer water does not influence the decomposition temperature of alanine on Ni{110} (Tdecomposition≈400-420 K) but causes the formation of zwitterionic species. Finally DFT, XPS and NEXAFS results suggest that MAA adsorbs on Ni{100} in a tilted bidentate enolate geometry. The full decomposition of MAA on Ni{100} occurs at ∼ 350 K. The contribution of these studies into the understanding of the mechanism of the chiral modification of the nickel catalyst is thoroughly discussed in the thesis.
Wealth Dynamics in Communities

description: This paper develops a model to explore how favor exchange influences wealth dynamics. We identify a key obstacle to wealth accumulation: wealth crowds out favor exchange. Therefore, households must choose between growing their wealth and accessing favor exchange. We show that low-wealth households rely on favor exchange at the cost of having tightly limited long-term wealth. As a result, initial wealth disparities persist and can even grow worse. We then explore how communities and policymakers can overcome this obstacle. Using simulations, we show that community benefits and place-based policies can stimulate both saving and favor exchange, and in some cases, can even transform favor exchange into a force that accelerates wealth accumulation.

description: In a population with haploid reproduction any individual has a single parent in the previous generation. If all genealogical distances among pairs of individuals (generations from the closest common ancestor) are known it is possible to exactly reconstruct their genealogical tree. Unfortunately, in most cases, genealogical distances are unknown and only genetic distances are available. The genetic distance between two individuals is measurable from differences in mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) in the case of humans or other complex organisms while an analogous distance can be also given for languages where it is measured from lexical differences. Assuming a constant rate of mutation, these genetic distances are random and proportional only on average to genealogical ones. The reconstruction of the genealogical tree from the available genetic distances is forceful imprecise. In this paper we try to quantify the error one may commit in the reconstruction of the tree for different degrees of randomness. The errors may concern both topology of the tree (the branching hierarchy) and, in case of correct topology, the proportions of the tree (length of various branches).

On the Use of Outcome Tests for Detecting Bias in Decision Making

Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2022
Subjects: economics

description: The decisions of judges, lenders, journal editors, and other gatekeepers often lead to disparities in outcomes across affected groups. An important question is whether, and to what extent, these group-level disparities are driven by relevant differences in underlying individual characteristics, or by biased decision makers. Becker (1957) proposed an outcome test for bias leading to a large body of related empirical work, with recent innovations in settings where decision makers are exogenously assigned to cases and vary progressively in their decision tendencies. We carefully examine what can be learned about bias in decision making in such settings. Our results call into question recent conclusions about racial bias among bail judges, and, more broadly, yield four lessons for researchers considering the use of outcome tests of bias. First, the so-called generalized Roy model, which is a workhorse of applied economics, does not deliver a logically valid outcome test without further restrictions, since it does not require an unbiased decision maker to equalize marginal outcomes across groups. Second, the more restrictive "extended" Roy model, which isolates potential outcomes as the sole admissible source of analyst-unobserved variation driving decisions, delivers both a logically valid and econometrically viable outcome test. Third, this extended Roy model places strong restrictions on behavior and the data generating process, so detailed institutional knowledge is essential for justifying such restrictions. Finally, because the extended Roy model imposes restrictions beyond those required to identify marginal outcomes across groups, it has testable implications that may help assess its suitability across empirical settings.
A digital-spectroscopy-type water vapor radiometer for high accuracy radio astrometry
Creators: name: Imai, Hiroshi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: We have tested a digital-spectroscopy-type 22-GHz water vapor radiometer (WVR) installed in one of the VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) radio telescopes for directly measuring the excess path delay length (EPL) due to Earth's precipitable water vapor (PWV) towards astrometry targets (i.e. background reference and astrometry-target radio sources). Such EPL measurement is crucial to high accuracy astrometry for sources at low telescope elevations (e.g. sources in the Galactic Center observed from VERA in Japan) because the difference in the EPLs towards the targets at slightly different elevations (by degrees) may cause a non-negligible effect on astrometry at a micro-arc seconds (μas) level. Although new calibration techniques for VLBI astrometry have been developed, such as the multi-view technique, the WVR technique should be explored for millimeter VLBI astrometry, in which a coherent time for fringe visibility integration is too short for directly applying such new techniques. The WVR composed of a compact high-speed analogy-to-digital (AD) sampler can be installed on the upper cabin of the telescope. Here we present the present status of the development of the WVR technique, in which the measured EPLs shall be applied to more precise calculation of phase-tracking models used for VLBI fringe visibility calibration. The feasibility of the WVR technique will be evaluated in near future in more detail by comparison between the EPLs derived from the WVR and GPS/GNSS station data and improvement of the astrometric accuracy with applying the technique.

Ice petrofabrics, Tuktoyaktuk, N.W.T., Canada
Creators: name: Gell, Alan William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis attempts to elucidate the origin and deformation of a folded sequence of ice and icy sediment in Tuktoyaktuk, N.W.T., Canada. Tuktoyaktuk lies between the maximum and late Wisconsin limits of glaciation. Bodies of underground ice in permafrost have characteristic ice crystal sizes and shapes and inclusions dependent on the mode of ice growth and subsequent deformational or other history. The ice body which was studied lies beneath 2 m of fluvioglacial sands and 0.6 m of gravel. The ice-icy sediment foliation has been deformed into subhorizontal isoclinal folds, the major movement being from the SSW. Folds are classified into three styles. Fabric diagrams of ice crystal optic axes are of two types. A relict early fold shows a cleft girdle pattern at right-angles to the fold axis. Later flattening and fold limb extension has given rise to fabric diagrams with strong maxima normal to the axial surfaces, showing that crystals have rotated such that slip planes are parallel to the surface of slip of the body. Differences in deformabilities of pure ice and ice with varying amounts of sand have given rise to boudinage and transposition-type structures. Four types of grain texture indicative of recrystallization and dependence on sediment, are distinguished. It is not possible, with the available evidence, to distinguish between two alternative origins of the body as segregated ground ice overridden by an ice-sheet or a remnant of a deformed ice-sheet terminus. Necessary conditions for the survival of either body may be inferred. Petrographic characteristics are listed for future field recognition of the ice type.
Firm and Worker Dynamics in a Frictional Labor Market

description: This paper develops a random-matching model of a frictional labor market with firm and worker dynamics. Multi-worker firms choose whether to shrink or expand their employment in response to shocks to their decreasing returns to scale technology. Growing entails posting costly vacancies, which are filled either by the unemployed or by employees poached from other firms. Firms also choose when to enter and exit the market. Tractability is obtained by proving that, under a parsimonious set of assumptions, all workers’ and firm decisions are characterized by their joint marginal surplus, which in turn only depends on the firm’s productivity and size. As frictions vanish, the model converges to a standard competitive model of firm dynamics which allows a quantification of the misallocation cost of labor market frictions. An estimated version of the model yields cross-sectional patterns of net poaching by firm characteristics (e.g., age and size) that are in line with the micro data. The model also generates a drop in job-to-job transitions as firm entry declines, offering an interpretation to U.S. labor market dynamics around the Great Recession. All these outcomes are a reflection of the job ladder in marginal surplus that emerges in equilibrium.

title: Managers’ international experiences, their advice networks, and performance in MNEs
Creators: name: Kim, Chipoong
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2024

description: To perform effectively in the context of MNE subsidiaries, subsidiary managers build and use ‘dual advice networks’, to access both HQ and local sources of knowledge. Through their international encounters, managers may build useful internal and external networks. However, despite potential performance benefits of subsidiary managers’ international experiences in multinational enterprises (MNEs), relatively little is known about the exact types of international experiences and underlying mechanisms that may contribute to subsidiary-unit performance. In this context, this thesis aims to explore international experience and subsidiary performance relationship in MNEs that remains a relatively under-developed topic in the fields of International HRM (IHRM), taking particular account of the mediating effect of their dual advice networks - combined networks allowing them to access both HQ and local sources of knowledge and resources. Using a survey of 284 managers in South Korean MNEs, I find that when a subsidiary-unit manager has more international experiences in both the MNE’s home and host country, they are more connected and contact more frequently, and gain more useful information or knowledge with dual advice networks in both HQ and the host country. In addition, I find that when a subsidiary unit manager has more international iii experiences - in terms of the extent and duration - in both the MNE’s home and host country, the subsidiary unit shows better performance, due to the size of the manager’s dual advice networks across HQ and local parties. This thesis contributes to the IHRM literature in novel ways. First, this thesis proposes international experience as an underlying dimension to capture emerging staffing options. Second, this thesis identifies international experience as an antecedent of social/ advice networks. Third, this thesis focuses on a subsidiary manager’s advice network as a missing piece to research on international experience and subsidiary performance by finding international experiences matter for advice networks and subsidiary-unit performance by providing empirical evidence.

description: Using a dynamic panel approach, we provide empirical evidence that negative health shocks reduce earnings. The effect is primarily driven by the participation margin and is concentrated in less educated and poor health individuals. We build a dynamic, general equilibrium, lifecycle model that is consistent with these findings. In the model, individuals, whose health is risky and heterogeneous, choose to either work, or not work and apply for social security disability insurance (SSDI). Health impacts individuals' productivity, SSDI access, disutility from work, mortality, and medical expenses. Calibrating the model to the United States, we nd that health inequality is an important source of lifetime earnings inequality: nearly 29 percent of the variation in lifetime earnings at age 65 is due to the fact that Americans face risky and heterogeneous lifecycle health proles. A decomposition exercise reveals that the primary reason why individuals in the United States in poor health have low lifetime earnings is because they have a high probability of obtaining SSDI benefits. In other words, the SSDI program is an important contributor to lifetime earnings inequality. Despite this, we show that it is ex ante welfare improving and, if anything, should be expanded.

description: The relation between physical observables measured at LHC and Tevatron and standard model Higgs pseudo-observables (production cross section and partial decay widths) is revised by extensively using the notion of the Higgs complex pole on the second Riemann sheet of the $S $-matrix. The extension of their definition to higher orders is considered, confronting the problems that arise when QED(QCD) corrections are included in computing realistic observables. Numerical results are presented for pseudo-observables related to the standard model Higgs boson decay and production. The relevance of the result for exclusion plots of the standard model Higgs boson for high masses (up to $600 $GeV) is discussed. Furthermore, a recipe for the analytical continuation of Feynman loop integrals from real to complex internal masses and complex Mandelstam invariants is thoroughly discussed.

Stationary Diffusion State Neural Estimation for Multiview Clustering

description: Although many graph-based clustering methods attempt to model the stationary diffusion state in their objectives, their performance limits to using a predefined graph. We argue that the estimation of the stationary diffusion state can be achieved by gradient descent over neural networks. We specifically design the Stationary Diffusion State Neural Estimation (SDSNE) to exploit multiview structural graph information for co-supervised learning. We explore how to design a graph neural network specially for unsupervised multiview learning and integrate multiple graphs into a unified consensus graph by a shared self-attentional module. The view-shared self-attentional module utilizes the graph structure to learn a view-consistent global graph. Meanwhile, instead of using auto-encoder in most unsupervised learning graph neural networks, SDSNE uses a co-supervised strategy with structure information to supervise the model learning. The co-supervised strategy as the loss function guides SDSNE in achieving the stationary state. With the help of the loss and the self-attentional module, we learn to obtain a graph in which nodes in each connected component fully connect by the same weight. Experiments on several multiview datasets demonstrate effectiveness of SDSNE in terms of six clustering evaluation metrics.

Un acercamiento a la obra de Jorge Diaz
Creators: name: Fox, Joan H. M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this thesis is to present a general analysis of the basic stylistic and thematic elements of the works of Jorge Diaz, a contemporary Chilean playwright. The emphasis is on understanding the mechanisms of his style and their interrelations with the basic themes. The first section--"Comentario general"--is a bibliographic and biographic introduction to Diaz, his works and the milieu in which his formation as a playwright has taken place. One important factor that is underlined here is that Diaz' first work was first performed less than twelve years ago (1961); therefore, the approach to his works must take into consideration the fact that his style of writing is not by any means completely formed. The main three chapters constitute a cumulative and comparative analysis of three specific plays. Their production spans a period of six years (196 1 -1967), affording a good cross section of the variations which can be seen in Diaz' style. More important than the variations, however, are the elements which remain constant, and, in an overall perspective, constitute the real characteristics of Diaz' style. Each chapter begins with a brief resume of the plot of the specific play being considered. From there each moves into an analysis of the structure of the plot, followed by an analysis of the form of the dialogues and method of characterization. The final section of each chapter deals with the general overall nature of the play and its themes. The last chapter of the thesis is a brief resume of the findings of the three main chapters. The major points of interest that the analyses reveal are, briefly, these: Diaz' works can be loosely classified among the theatre of the absurd; the element in his plays that shows the least change is the style of his dialogue which makes consistent use of double entendre and irony; the themes of his works reveal a definite preference for social criticism as shown by his consistent use of social archetypes rather than well-rounded individuals, except for the protagonists. The basic conflict of each play generally deals with a sensitive, subordinate individual who must struggle for his very existence against the attempts of an insensitive world to destroy his individuality. The least constant element of Diaz' style is the structure of his plots which range from a nearly realistic chain of cause and effects in one play, to the very loosely cohesive structure of a play whose action proceeds in a spiralling manner back and forth between fantasy and reality. Altogether, these elements emphasize that Jorge Diaz is a socially conscious author greatly concerned with the status of the individual. He has a definite tendency to experiment with various contemporary approaches to the expression of this theme in creative and sometimes innovative ways.

Repugnant Transactions: The Role of Agency and Extreme Consequences

description: Some transactions are restricted or prohibited, although people may want to engage in them (e.g., the sale of human organs, surrogacy, and prostitution). It is not well understood what causes the judgement of repugnance. We study two potential reasons: lack of agency of the parties and extreme consequences of the transaction. Limited agency arises, e.g., when one party cannot decide freely because she is not able to reject the transaction offered, a third person who profits from the transaction takes the decision on her behalf, or she is forced to proceed with the transaction due to social pressure. In a laboratory experiment, we ask spectators whether they want to prohibit a transaction or not. We find that transactions with extreme outcomes (listening to a painful tone) are more frequently prohibited than those with mild outcomes (waiting in the laboratory). We also show that lack of agency and extreme outcomes reinforce each other, since the combination of both properties leads to prohibition rates of up to 80 percent.

As a key source of leverage, deposits create value for well-capitalized banks. However, unlike capital of nonfinancial firms, deposits can have a negative marginal q for undercapitalized banks. Demand deposit accounts commit banks to allow holders to withdraw or deposit funds at will, so banks cannot perfectly control leverage. When banks have insufficient equity capital to buffer risk, deposit inflows and the associated uncertainty in future leverage can destroy value. Our model predictions on bank valuation and dynamic asset-liability management are broadly consistent with the evidence. Moreover, our model lends itself to a re-evaluation of the costs and benefits of leverage regulation and offers new perspectives on the challenges that banks face in a low interest rate environment.

title: A strong structuration view on the evolution of budgeting: the case of an English University
Creators: name: Abdaless, Sara
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: English Universities are expected to be more efficient and effective in an environment that is changing continuously. Understanding the perceptions of the multiple stakeholders involved in budgeting and the way they use it is proving to be vital to successfully achieving an efficient and effective university. As one of the main channels used to implement the change, budgeting has itself been, not only shaping the university, but also being changed in the process. There has been a considerable interest in the literature in understanding how budgeting is influenced by the institutional environment and how it is used as a result of these pressures. However, this study addresses the specific question of how budgeting evolves, influences and being influenced, during times of strategic change in universities. This research sits within the Interpretivist paradigm and makes use of a qualitative single case embedded study. The main data collection methods are semi-structured interviews with key personnel involved in budgeting (budget holders, management accountants and senior managers) and documentation. This study contributes to theory as follows: it applies Strong Structuration Theory to a changing English university which enables an in depth understanding of the multiple facets of budgeting in light of its institutional environment. This study demonstrates that budgeting is a social system that produces and reproduces through interaction between the agents (people involved in budgeting) and its structural properties. The findings related to the role of budgeting as structure of signification, domination and legitimation are in line with previous studies. However, this study sheds light on the internal legitimacy aspect of budgeting and the primacy of domination in the case of Magnolia. This study has made the following contributions to the literature: i. The role of agency in the change process is evident and is captured alongside the change to budgeting’s structural properties using the Strong Structuration theory framework; ii. budgeting’s structural properties have changed primacy during organisational change. It was noted that the exercise of domination through the centralisation of allocative and authoritative resources has become more dominant than its legitimation and communication properties. iii. budgeting is not only used for inter-organisational legitimacy purposes as it appears in all previous studies; instead, it is found to be a significant tool for intra-organisational legitimacy; iv. budgeting at Magnolia was demonstrated to be multifaceted, which was not captured in previous studies on budgeting in the European public sector context.

description: Inundation-adapted trees were recently established as the dominant egress pathway for soil-produced methane (CH4) in forested wetlands. This raises the possibility that CH4 produced deep within the soil column can vent to the atmosphere via tree roots even when the water table (WT) is below the surface. If correct, this would challenge modelling efforts where inundation often defines the spatial extent of ecosystem CH4 production and emission. Here, we examine CH4 exchange on tree, soil and aquatic surfaces in forest experiencing a dynamic WT at 3 floodplain locations spanning the Amazon basin at 4 hydrologically distinct times from April 2017 to January 2018. Tree stem emissions were orders of magnitude larger than from soil or aquatic surface emissions and exhibited a strong relationship to WT depth below the surface (less than 0). We estimate that Amazon riparian floodplain margins with a WT 4 yr−1 to the atmosphere in addition to inundated tree emissions of approximately 12.7–21.1 Tg CH4 yr−1. Applying our approach to all tropical wetland broad-leaf trees yields an estimated non-flooded floodplain tree flux of 6.4 Tg CH4 yr−1 which, at 17% of the flooded tropical tree flux of approximately 37.1 Tg CH4 yr−1, demonstrates the importance of these ecosystems in extending the effective CH4 emitting area beyond flooded lands.This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Rising methane: is warming feeding warming? (Part 2)'.

description: In this paper we study cosmological application of holographic dark energy density in the modified gravity framework. We employ the holographic model of dark energy to obtain the equation of state for the holographic energy density in spatially flat universe. Our calculation show, taking $Ω_Λ=0.73$ for the present time, it is possible to have $w_{\rm Λ}$ crossing -1. This implies that one can generate phantom-like equation of state from a holographic dark energy model in flat universe in the modified gravity cosmology framework. Also we develop a reconstruction scheme for the modified gravity with $f(R)$ action.

description: We study settings in which, prior to playing an incomplete information game, players observe many draws of private signals about the state from some information structure. Signals are i.i.d. across draws, but may display arbitrary correlation across players. For each information structure, we define a simple learning efficiency index, which only considers the statistical distance between the worst-informed player's marginal signal distributions in different states. We show, first, that this index characterizes the speed of common learning (Cripps, Ely, Mailath, and Samuelson, 2008): In particular, the speed at which players achieve approximate common knowledge of the state coincides with the slowest player's speed of individual learning, and does not depend on the correlation across players' signals. Second, we build on this characterization to provide a ranking over information structures: We show that, with sufficiently many signal draws, information structures with a higher learning efficiency index lead to better equilibrium outcomes, robustly for a rich class of games and objective functions. We discuss implications of our results for constrained information design in games and for the question when information structures are complements vs. substitutes.
