description: When the adoption of a new labor-saving technology increases labor productivity, it is an open question whether the economy adjusts in the medium-term by decreasing employment or increasing output. This paper studies the effects of cheaper electricity on the labor market during the Great Depression. The first-stage of the identification strategy uses geography as an instrument for changes in the price of electricity and the second-stage uses labor market outcomes from the concrete industry���a non-traded industry whose location decisions are independent of the instrument. The paper finds that electricity was an important labor-saving technology and caused an increase in capital intensity and labor productivity, as well as a decrease in the labor share of income. The paper also finds that firms adjusted to higher labor productivity by decreasing employment instead of increasing output, which supports the theory of technological unemployment.

description: We consider a disordered two-dimensional electronic system in the limit of high magnetic field at the metal-insulator transition. Density of states close to the Fermi level acquires a divergent correction to the lowest order in electron-electron interaction and shows a new power-law dependence on the energy, with the power given by the anomalous diffusion exponent $η$. This should be observable in the tunneling experiment with double-well GaAs heterostructure of the mobility $\propto 10^{4}V/s$ at temperatures of $\propto 10 mK$ and voltages of $\propto 1 μV$.

description: The Columbia STS-107 mission lifted off on January 16, 2003, for a 17-day science mission featuring numerous microgravity experiments. Upon reentering the atmosphere on February 1, 2003, the Columbia orbiter suffered a catastrophic failure due to a breach that occurred during launch when falling foam from the External Tank struck the Reinforced Carbon Carbon panels on the underside of the left wing. The orbiter and its seven crewmembers (Rick D. Husband, William C. McCool, David Brown, Laurel Blair Salton Clark, Michael P. Anderson, Ilan Ramon, and Kalpana Chawla) were lost approximately 15 minutes before Columbia was scheduled to touch down at Kennedy Space Center. This site presents information about the STS-107 flight, as well as information related to the accident and subsequent investigation by the formal Columbia Accident Investigation Board.
The New Economics of Religion
Creators: name: Iyer, S.
Publisher: name: Faculty of Economics
Year: 2015

description: The economics of religion is a relatively new field of research in economics. This survey serves two purposes – it is backward-looking in that it traces the historical and sociological origins of this field, and it is forward-looking in that it examines the insights and research themes that are offered by economists to investigate religion globally in the modern world. Several factors have influenced the economics of religion: (1) new developments in theoretical models including spatial models of religious markets and evolutionary models of religious traits; (2) empirical work which addresses innovatively econometric identification in examining causal influences on religious behavior; (3) new research in the economic history of religion that considers religion as an independent rather than as a dependent variable; and (4) more studies of religion outside the Western world. Based on these developments, this paper discusses four themes – first, secularization, pluralism, regulation and economic growth; second, religious markets, club goods, differentiated products and networks; third, identification including secular competition and charitable giving; and fourth, conflict and cooperation in developing societies. In reviewing this paradoxically ancient yet burgeoning field, this paper puts forward unanswered questions for scholars of the economics of religion to reflect upon in years to come.

 Note:—We traced two specimens at PAL (codes PAL60289 and PAL60291) collected by Vincenzo Tineo in the island Pantelleria; no collection date occurs. PAL60289 includes also a handwritten latin description of the species. A specimen from Pantelleria and collected by V. Tineo is housed in NAP and it included a latin description; however, it missed again the date of collection. Simalarly in G (barcode G00440212) is housed a specimen from Pantelleria by Tineo missing the date of collection; this specimen was seen by M. Erben in 1977, but it has not been used for nomenclatural acts. Finally, there is a specimen at FI (barcode FI002268) collected by V. Tineo in Pantelleria and received in September 1845; it includes a portion of plant complete in all its parts.
 While we can just hypothesize that the specimens from Palermo, Naples and Genève were collected before the publication of the name, we are certain of this for the specimen held in Florence. We, therefore, designate here FI002268 as lectotype of the name Statice parvifolia. It fits the original description and corresponds to the current use of the name that applies to a species strictly endemic to the island of Pantelleria (Brullo & Brullo 2020).

The prospects for smart energy prices: observations from 50 years of residential pricing for fixed line telecoms and electricity
Creators: name: Oseni, M. O.

Publisher: name: Faculty of Economics
Year: 2016

description: This study focuses on how energy and communications have evolved over the last 50 years and what we can learn from history in order to examine the prospects for smart energy pricing by 2050. We begin by discussing the nature of energy and telecoms products and why price discrimination should be expected. We then review various business and pricing strategies that have evolved in the two industries. We find that business models for both the telecoms and energy sectors have changed from the traditional services business model (i.e., offering of calls and messages for telecoms, and utility supply services for energy) to more dynamic, integrated and complex business models. These new business models include the managed services provider model, the bundled services model, and the prosumer business model, among others. Similarly, several changes in pricing structure have evolved. There has been a reduction in the number of distanced-based and increasing time-based price differentiation in fixed line telecoms and the abolition of residential floor area-based differentiation in residential electricity pricing. We conclude with a discussion on how the rollout of the next generation of electricity meters (smart and advanced meters) may further shape electricity pricing in the future.

description: Competition increases firms performance. But in many industries, especially network based industries, effective competition requires the separation of firms. Separation can lead to a trade-off between technical efficiency gains from competition and losses from separation. But separation itself can be beneficial, too. We estimate the combined effect of competition and vertical separation (as well as the individual effects) for the case of US electric utility divestitures. We analyse the difference-indifference in inefficient costs between divested units and non-divested units in either restructuring or non-restructuring states. We find that for our benchmark model of technology the combined effect is virtually zero. We analyze the uncertainty about the unobserved true technology and find that this number constitutes the lower bound whereas the upper bound is $24 billion. Generally, the effect of separation itself is much larger than the effect of competition. Also, the effect of separation is positive for most models of the technology.

description: We present new HST WFPC3 imaging of four gravitationally lensed quasars: MG 0414+0534; RXJ 0911+0551; B 1422+231; WFI J2026-4536. In three of these systems we detect wavelength-dependent microlensing, which we use to place constraints on the sizes and temperature profiles of the accretion discs in each quasar. Accretion disc radius is assumed to vary with wavelength according to the power-law relationship $r\propto λ^p$, equivalent to a radial temperature profile of $T\propto r^{-1/p}$. The goal of this work is to search for deviations from standard thin disc theory, which predicts that radius goes as wavelength to the power $p=4/3$. We find a wide range of power-law indices, from $p=1.4^{+0.5}_{-0.4}$ in B 1422+231 to $p=2.3^{+0.5}_{-0.4}$ in WFI J2026-4536. The measured value of $p$ appears to correlate with the strength of the wavelength-dependent microlensing. We explore this issue with mock simulations using a fixed accretion disc with $p=1.5$, and find that cases where wavelength-dependent microlensing is small tend to under-estimate the value of $p$. This casts doubt on previous ensemble single-epoch measurements which have favoured low values using samples of lensed quasars that display only moderate chromatic effects. Using only our systems with strong chromatic microlensing we prefer $p>4/3$, corresponding to shallower temperature profiles than expected from standard thin disc theory.

description: This paper studies the long-run impact of public debt expansion on economic growth and investigates whether the debt-growth relation varies with the level of indebtedness. Our contribution is both theoretical and empirical. On the theoretical side, we develop tests for threshold effects in the context of dynamic heterogeneous panel data models with cross-sectionally dependent errors and illustrate, by means of Monte Carlo experiments, that they perform well in small samples. On the empirical side, using data on a sample of 40 countries (grouped into advanced and developing) over the 1965-2010 period, we and no evidence for a universally applicable threshold effect in the relationship between public debt and economic growth, once we account for the impact of global factors and their spillover effects. Regardless of the threshold, however, we find significant negative long-run effects of public debt build-up on output growth. Provided that public debt is on a downward trajectory, a country with a high level of debt can grow just as fast as its peers.

Oil, Volatility and Institutions:Cross-Country Evidence from Major Oil Producers

description: This paper examines the long-run effects of oil revenue and its volatility on economic growth as well as the role of institutions in this relationship. We collect annual and monthly data on a sample of 17 major oil producers over the period 1961. 2013, and use the standard panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach as well as its cross-sectionally augmented version (CS-ARDL) for estimation. Therefore, in contrast to the earlier literature on the resource curse, we take into account all three key features of the panel: dynamics, heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence. Our results suggest that (i) there is a significant negative effect of oil revenue volatility on output growth, (ii) higher growth rate of oil revenue significantly raises economic growth, and (iii) better fiscal policy (institutions) can offset some of the negative effects of oil revenue volatility. We therefore argue that volatility in oil revenues combined with poor governmental responses to this volatility drives the resource curse paradox, not the abundance of oil revenues as such.
Aggregating Elasticities: Intensive and Extensive Margins of Female Labour Supply

description: There is a renewed interest in the size of labour supply elasticities and the discrepancy between micro and macro estimates. Recent contributions have stressed the distinction between changes in labour supply at the extensive and the intensive margin. In this paper, we stress the importance of individual heterogeneity and aggregation problems. At the intensive margins, simple specications that seem to fit the data give rise to non linear expressions that do not aggregate in a simple fashion. At the extensive margin, aggregate changes in participation are likely to depend on the cross sectional distribution of state variables when a shock hits and, therefore, are likely to be history dependent. We tackle these aggregation issues directly by specifying a life cycle model to explain female labour supply in the US and estimate its various components. We estimate the parameters of different component of the model. Our results indicate that (i) at the intensive margin, Marshallian and Hicksian elasticities are very heterogeneous and, on average, relatively large; (ii) Frisch elasticities are, as implied by the theory, even larger; (iii) aggregate labour supply elasticities seem to vary over the business cycle, being larger during recessions.

description: We re-analyse the resonant spin-flavour (RSF) solutions to the solar neutrino problem in the framework of analytic solutions to the solar magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) equations. By substantially eliminating the arbitrariness associated to the magnetic field profile due to both mathematical consistency and physical requirements we propose the simplest scheme (MHD-RSF, for short) for solar neutrino conversion using realistic static MHD solutions. Using such effective two-parameter scheme we perform the first global fit of the recent solar neutrino data, including event rates as well as zenith angle distributions and recoil electron spectra induced by solar neutrino interactions in Superkamiokande. We compare quantitatively our simplest MHD-RSF fit with vacuum oscillation (VAC) and MSW-type (SMA, LMA and LOW) solutions to the solar neutrino problem using a common well-calibrated theoretical calculation and fit procedure. We find our MHD-RSF fit to be somewhat better than those obtained for the favored neutrino oscillation solutions, though not in a statistically significant way. We briefly discuss the prospects to disentangle our MHD-RSF scenario at future solar neutrino experiments, giving some predictions for the SNO experiment.

description: This project explores motivational factors influencing career outcomes of Sport and Event Management undergraduate students at George Mason University. Three motivational factors were investigated throughout this study including undergraduate degrees and associated curricula, faculty mentorship, and fieldwork experiences. These factors were researched in order to discover how both individually and collectively they affect a students’ decision-making regarding career outcomes. A mixed methods convergent parallel research design was implemented for this study. In order to examine the effect these factors have on students’ career outcomes, both alumni and current students of George Mason’s undergraduate Sport and Event Management degree concentrations were interviewed and surveyed. In addition to predetermining the motivational factors, five themes were also fixed for this study. These themes include an undergraduate degree and its associated curricula, faculty mentorship, fieldwork experiences, all three factors combined, and other factors indicated by the participants. This study confirms that the three factors indeed play a role separately, but collectively as well. The most influential factor determined in this study was fieldwork experiences. However, the three motivational factors altogether shape career outcomes by allowing students to identify not only their strengths and weaknesses, but their passions as well. This in turn helps students make those important post-graduate decisions and determine a career path.

description: The main goal of this study is to investigate the LF of a sample of 142 X-ray selected clusters, with spectroscopic redshift confirmation and a well defined selection function, spanning a wide redshift and mass range, and to test the LF dependence on cluster global properties, in a homogeneous and unbiased way. Our study is based on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) photometric galaxy catalogue,associated with photometric redshifts. We constructed LFs inside a scaled radius using a selection in photometric redshift around the cluster spectroscopic redshift in order to reduce projection effects. The width of the photometric redshift selection was carefully determined to avoid biasing the LF and depended on both the cluster redshift and the galaxy magnitudes. The purity was then enhanced by applying a precise background subtraction. We constructed composite luminosity functions (CLFs) by stacking the individual LFs and studied their evolution with redshift and richness, analysing separately the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) and non-BCG members. We fitted the dependences of the CLFs and BCG distributions parameters with redshift and richness conjointly in order to distinguish between these two effects. We find that the usual photometric redshift selection methods can bias the LF estimate if the redshift and magnitude dependence of the photometric redshift quality is not taken into account. Our main findings concerning the evolution of the galaxy luminosity distribution with redshift and richness are that, in the inner region of clusters and in the redshift-mass range we probe (about $0

description: Finite element (FE) method is presented for the analysis of thin rectangular laminated composite plates under thebiaxial action of in – plane compressive loading. The analysis uses the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) whichdoes not account for shear deformations. In this theory it is assumed that the laminate is in a state of plane stress, theindividual lamina is linearly elastic, and there is perfect bonding between layers. The classical laminated plate theory(CLPT), which is an extension of the classical plate theory (CPT) assumes that normal to the mid – surface beforedeformation remains straight and normal to the mid – surface after deformation. Therefore, this theory is onlyadequate for buckling analysis of thin laminates. A Fortran program has been compiled. The convergence andaccuracy of the FE solutions for biaxial buckling of thin laminated rectangular plates are established by comparisonwith various theoretical and experimental solutions. The good agreement of comparisons demonstrates the reliabilityof finite element methods used.

 Notes:— Scoppola & Lattanzi (2012: 49) indicate as “Typus” of the name the specimen “In Nebrodibus. Sulla Curma grande, Tineo (G)”. However according to Arts. 7.11 and 9.23 of the ICN, this is not a valid lectotype designation because the phrase “designate here” (or equivalent) and the term “ lectotypus ” (or equivalent) are missing. Despite careful searches after a digital loan request, the staff at the Geneva herbarium was unable to locate the specimen reported in Scoppola & Lattanzi (2012).
 There is one sheet at PAL (code PAL73332) bearing six plants and a label handwritten by Vincenzo Tineo reporting “Colma Grande” [= Curma Grandi (in Sicilian)] on the Madonie mountains (previously known as Nebrodi). As already done in other contributions (Nardi 1984, Domina & Mazzola 2007, Scafidi & Domina 2019), Tineo’s specimens, although not reporting the collection date, is presumptively considered original material and is here designated as lectotype of the name. This lectotype matches the protologue and corresponds to the current application of the name that is considered a Mediterranean mountainous and S. European element belonging to the Viola tricolor group (Scoppola & Lattanzi 2012).

description: We consider a procurement auction, where each supplier has private costs and submits a stepped supply function. We solve for a Bayesian Nash equilibrium and show that the equilibrium has a price instability in the sense that a minor change in a supplier's cost sometimes result in a major change in the market price. In wholesale electricity markets, we predict that the bid price of the most expensive production unit can change by 1-10% due to price instability. The price instability is reduced when suppliers have more steps in their supply functions for a given production technology. In the limit, as the number of steps increases and the cost uncertainty decreases, the Bayesian equilibrium converges to a pure-strategy NE without price instability, the Supply Function Equilibrium (SFE).

description: We establish a large deviation principle for a reflected Poisson driven SDE. Our motivation is to study in a forthcoming paper the problem of exit of such a process from the basin of attraction of a locally stable equilibrium associated with its law of large numbers. Two examples are described in which we verify the assumptions that we make to establish the large deviation principle.

description: We give an explicit form of the classical entropy for four-dimensional static near-BPS-saturated black holes of generic N=2 superstring vacua. The expression is obtained by determining the leading corrections in the non-extremality parameter to the corresponding BPS-saturated black hole solutions. These classical results are quantitatively compared with the microscopic leading order corrections to the microscopic result of Maldacena Strominger and Witten for N=2 BPS-saturated black holes.

description: Since the outbreak of the Ukrainian Crisis, Russian-EU military, strategic and diplomatic relations have been deteriorating, recently reaching a previously unseen low point. Besides the well-known political and economic consequences, this has also implications on a cultural level. Although officially assigned a secondary role in EU-Russian relations, culture plays a vital and often pernicious role in both actors’ foreign policy. Under the umbrella of cultural diplomacy, one-way transfer of “cultural values” is prioritised over genuine cultural dialogue, leaving open enormous potential for growth and intercultural collaboration. Yet, the current crisis offers opportunities. By reconsidering the role of culture in the unique relationship between the EU and Russia, and by critically examining both actors’ current cultural strategies, alternative cultural paths are explored. A revalorisation of the concept of cultural relations appears to be a viable means to revitalise EU-Russia relations and sustain cultural dialogue.
The Energetics and Electronic Structure of Defective and Irregular Surfaces on MgO

description: Ab initio calculations based on the density-functional pseudopotential approach have been used to study the fully relaxed structure, the electron distribution and the electronic density of states of (001) terraces, steps, corners and reverse corners, and of F-centers at these surface features on MgO. The calculations confirm earlier predictions of the relaxed structures of surface irregularities based on simple interaction models. A substantial narrowing of the band-gap is found at the surface, which for terraces and steps is due to surface states at the bottom of the conduction band, but for the corner and reverse corner is also due to surface states at the top of the valence band. The F-center formation energy decreases steadily as the coordination of the oxygen site is reduced. The energy of the F-center level shows a tendency to approach the top of the valence band as the coordination of its site decreases.

description: We present a high-resolution ($R \simeq 20,000$) near-infrared (9,100-13,500 $Å$) long-slit spectrum of P Cygni obtained with the newly commissioned WINERED spectrograph in Japan. In the obtained spectrum, we have found that the velocity profiles of the [Fe II] emission lines are resolved into two peaks at a velocity of $\simeq220$ km s$^{-1}$ with a moderate dip in between and with additional sub-peaks at $\simeq\pm100$~km~s$^{-1}$. The sub-peak component is confirmed with the long-slit echellogram to originate in the known shell with a radius of $\simeq10^{\prime\prime}$, which was originally created by the outburst in 1600 AD. On the other hand, the $\simeq220$ km s$^{-1}$ component, which dominates the [Fe II] flux from P Cygni, is found to be concentrated closer to the central star with an apparent spatial extent of $\simeq3^{\prime\prime}$. The extent is much larger than the compact ($<0^{\prime\prime}.1$) regions traced with hydrogen, helium, and metal permitted lines. The velocity, estimated mass, and dynamical time of the extended emission-line region suggest that the region is an outer part of the stellar wind region. We suggest that the newly-identified emission-line region may trace a reverse shock due to the stellar wind overtaking the outburst shell.

description: This paper seeks to explore the nature of 'Good' Energy Policy by offering a multi-disciplinary social science and humanities perspective on policy making. The objective in doing this is to understand how to get from where we are today to a 'better' energy policy. We begin by discussing what we mean by 'policy'. We then go on to characterise and challenge the technologists' approach to energy policy. Next we discuss some key intellectual starting points that explain why policy making in this area is so difficult. We then turn to a set of multi-disciplinary social science and humanities perspectives on energy policy that together form promising areas for research. These are: perception; quantification; well-being; public trust; role of the state; competence and hubris in delivery; and parallels with healthcare. We close by discussing how these perspectives can illuminate whether a policy is 'good', 'bad' or something in between.

description: We discuss in detail solar neutrino oscillations with δm^2/E in the range [10^-10,10^-7] eV^2/MeV. In this range, which interpolates smoothly between the so-called ``just-so'' and ``Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein'' oscillation regimes, neutrino flavor transitions are increasingly affected by matter effects as δm^2/E increases. As a consequence, the usual vacuum approximation has to be improved through the matter-induced corrections, leading to a ``quasi-vacuum'' oscillation regime. We perform accurate numerical calculations of such corrections, using both the true solar density profile and its exponential approximation. Matter effects are shown to be somewhat overestimated in the latter case. We also discuss the role of Earth crossing and of energy smearing. Prescriptions are given to implement the leading corrections in the quasi-vacuum oscillation range. Finally, the results are applied to a global analysis of solar nu data in a three-flavor framework.

description: First order orthotropic shear deformation equations for the nonlinear elastic bending response of rectangular plates are introduced. Their solution using a computer program based on finite differences implementation of the Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method is outlined. The convergence and accuracy of the DR solutions for elastic large deflection response of isotropic, orthotropic, and laminated plates are established by comparison with various exact and approximate solutions. The present Dynamic Relaxation method (DR) coupled with finite differences method shows a fairly good agreement with other analytical and numerical methods used in the verification scheme.It was found that: The convergence and accuracy of the DR solution is dependent on several factors including boundary conditions, mesh size and type, fictitious densities, damping coefficients, time increment and applied load. Also, the DR large deflection program using uniform finite differences meshes can be employed in the analysis of different thicknesses for isotropic, orthotropic or laminated plates under uniform loads. All the comparison results for simply supported (SS4) edge conditions showed that deflection is almost dependent on the direction of the applied load or the arrangement of the layers

subject: Temperament

description: Young children differ in the way they experience, modulate and express emotion. Children’s ability to modulate their emotions is an important skill for the development of socioemotional competence, as competence is partly judged by the ability to attend and adapt to the demands of specific social situations in appropriate ways. In particular, research has linked difficulty in regulating negative emotions to emotional and behavioral problems. Emotion regulation has been assessed through the use of provocation tasks in social contexts as such tasks allow researchers to contrast displayed emotions to the presumed ‘experienced’ emotions. Previous work has linked individual differences in emotion regulation to individual differences in initial emotional reactivity (often marked by broad patterns of temperament and psychophysiology) and gender. The primary objective of this study is to examine the impact of emotion reactivity and gender on children’s affective responses to disappointment. Specifically, we examined levels of positive and negative affect across conditions varying in affective and social demands. The results of this study may elucidate mechanisms that impact a child’s ability to adaptively regulate emotions.
