Dark Matter at Boulby Mine

description: The Boulby Dark Matter Collaboration (BDMC) is running a WIMP Dark Matter research programme in the underground laboratory of Boulby Mine. The two axes of the programme are based on (1) liquid Xenon (LXe) as the WIMP target and (2) directional detection in low pressure gas detectors. ZEPLIN-1 is a 3.1kg of LXe scintillation detector with a background discrimination based on Pulse Shape Analysis. A new limit from a preliminary analysis is presented. Further generation setups with improved background discrimination tools (as the ionisation is also recorded) are in construction. ZEPLIN-2 and ZEPLIN-3, are predicted to be sensitive to rate of 0.1-0.01 events/kg/day within 2 years of data, with fiducial masses of 30kg and 6kg, respectively. These are important steps towards the design of a tonne-scale LXe Dark Matter detector array. The DRIFT programme relies on discrimination by tracking and directionnal detection. This enables the measurement of any sidereal modulation, as the earth's rotation changes the flux angle of Galactic WIMPs. A low pressure 1m$^3$ chamber (DRIFT-1) is currently taking data underground. A setup for a bigger volume with increased spatial resolution (enabling the pressure, and hence the target mass to be increase) is in the designing process.

description: A 1/L-expansion for percolation problems is proposed, where L is the lattice finite length. The square lattice with 27 different sizes L = 18, 22 ... 1594 is considered. Certain spanning probabilities were determined by Monte Carlo simulations, as continuous functions of the site occupation probability p. We estimate the critical threshold pc by applying the quoted expansion to these data. Also, the universal spanning probability at pc for an annulus with aspect ratio r=1/2 is estimated as C = 0.876657(45).
title: Do Peer Group Members Outperform Individual Borrowers? A Test of Peer Group Lending Using Canadian Micro-Credit Data
Creators: name: Gomez, Rafael

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2003

description: Microfinance institutions now serve over 10 million poor households in the developing and developed world, and much of their success has been attributed to their innovative use of peer group lending. There is very little empirical evidence, however, to suggest that group lending schemes offer a superior institutional design over lending programs that serve individual borrowers. The authors find empirical evidence that group lending does indeed lower borrower default rates more than conventional individual lending, and that this effect operates through the dual channels of selection into the peer lending program and, once inside the program, greater group borrower effort.
description: Les institutions de microfinance prêtent aujourd'hui des fonds à plus de 10 millions de ménages pauvres dans les pays en développement et les pays développés. Leur succès est en grande partie attribué au fait qu'elles recourent à une forme originale de prêt collectif. Il existe cependant très peu d'éléments empiriques attestant que ces mécanismes soient mieux conçus que les programmes de prêt aux particuliers. Les auteurs obtiennent des résultats empiriques qui montrent que les participants aux programmes de prêt collectif présentent un taux de défaillance moins élevé que les emprunteurs individuels, et que ce phénomène est dû à la fois à la sélection opérée au départ et aux efforts accrus que les membres d'un groupe d'emprunteurs déploient.

title: Governance and Financial Fragility: Evidence from a Cross-Section of Countries
Creators: name: Francis, Michael
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2003

description: The author explores the role of governance mechanisms as a means of reducing financial fragility. First, he develops a simple theoretical general-equilibrium model in which instability arises due to an agency problem resulting from a conflict of interest between the borrower and lender. In particular, when governance is weak and transaction costs are high, the share of capital assets that creditors can claim as collateral is highly sensitive to shocks. As a result, there is financial fragility, in that the willingness of agents to finance productive investments is sensitive to shocks. Second, using a data set that contains over 90 industrialized and developing economies, the author tests the hypothesis that governance is important in explaining financial fragility (measured as the likelihood of a banking crisis and investment volatility). His results show that institutions, rules, and laws that govern the financial environment are of first-order importance for the stability of financial systems. The author finds that, while better legal systems are particularly important, so are democratic institutions that limit the power of the executive.
description: L'auteur examine le rôle des mécanismes de gouvernance comme moyen de réduire la fragilité financière. Premièrement, il élabore un modèle théorique simple d'équilibre général dans lequel un problème de délégation issu d'un conflit d'intérêts entre l'emprunteur et le prêteur crée de l'instabilité. En particulier, lorsque la gouvernance est faible et que les coûts de transaction sont élevés, la part des immobilisations que les créanciers peuvent demander en garantie est très sensible aux chocs. Il y a par conséquent fragilité financière, dans la mesure où la volonté des agents de financer les investissements productifs est sensible aux chocs. Deuxièmement, à l'aide d'un ensemble de données portant sur plus de 90 économies industrialisées et en développement, l'auteur teste l'hypothèse voulant que la gouvernance permette d'expliquer la fragilité financière (mesurée par la probabilité d'une crise bancaire et la volatilité des investissements). Les résultats obtenus indiquent que les institutions, les règles et les lois qui régissent le secteur financier jouent un rôle de premier ordre dans la stabilité des systèmes financiers. L'auteur constate que, si de meilleurs systèmes juridiques revêtent une grande importance, c'est également le cas des institutions démocratiques qui limitent le pouvoir exécutif.

description: Melitaea phoebe gerinia Fruhstorfer, 1917
[TL: Portugal, Lissabon {Lisbon}]; BERNARDI & DE LESSE (1951: 141) reported that there were no specimens of this subspecies in Fruhstorfer’s collection in MNHNP. However, Rodolphe Rougeri found a male specimen there. From photographs of the underside it can be concluded that, despite the somewhat triangular shape of the submarginal black markings, they touched the intervening veins, the antennal tips were club shaped and not spatulate and the forewing apices appeared more acute than rounded. This specimen is correctly identified as M. phoebe, as described by Fruhstorfer and in agreement with VAN OORSCHOT & COUTSIS (2014: 61) and RUSSELL & TENNENT (2016: note 39).

description: Using data from the Southern Galactic Plane Survey (SGPS) we analyze an HI self-absorption cloud centered on l = 318.0 deg, b = -0.5 deg, and velocity, v = -1.1 km/s. The cloud was observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the Parkes Radio Telescope, and is at a near kinematic distance of less than 400 pc with derived dimensions of less than 5 x 11 pc. We apply two different methods to find the optical depth and spin temperature. In both methods we find upper limit spin temperatures ranging from 20 K to 25 K and lower limit optical depths ~ 1. We look into the nature of the HI emission and find that 60-70% originates behind the cloud. We analyze a second cloud at the same velocity centered on l = 319 deg and b = 0.4 deg with an upper limit spin temperature of 20 K and a lower limit optical depth of 1.6. The similarities in spin temperature, optical depth, velocity, and spatial location are evidence the clouds are associated, possibly as one large cloud consisting of smaller clumps of gas. We compare HI emission data with 12CO emission and find a physical association of the HI self-absorption cloud with molecular gas.

title: Real Exchange Rate Persistence in Dynamic General-Equilibrium Sticky-Price Models: An Analytical Characterization
Creators: name: Bouakez, Hafedh
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2003

description: This paper assesses analytically the ability of dynamic general-equilibrium sticky-price models to generate persistent real exchange rate fluctuations. It develops a tractable general-equilibrium model with Calvo-type price stickiness. The model has a closed-form solution and the persistence of the real exchange rate is explicitly characterized. The paper shows that real exchange rate persistence is pinned down by the probability of not changing prices. This result suggests that standard sticky-price models are unable to generate endogenous persistence.
description: L'auteur de l'étude évalue analytiquement la capacité des modèles dynamiques d'équilibre général à prix rigides à générer des fluctuations persistantes du taux de change réel. Il élabore un modèle d'équilibre général attrayant où les prix sont fixés par des contrats à la Calvo. Le modèle admet une solution analytique et le degré de persistance du taux de change réel y est explicitement calculé. L'auteur montre que la persistance du taux de change réel est déterminée par la probabilité de fixité des prix. Ce résultat donne à penser que les modèles standard à prix rigides ne peuvent générer d'effets persistants endogènes.

description: The authors examine the investment behaviour of a sample of small, credit-constrained firms in Sri Lanka. Using a unique panel-data set, they analyze and compare the activities of two groups of small firms distinguished by their different access to financing; one group consists of firms with heavily subsidized loans from the World Bank, and the other consists of firms without such subsidies. The use of program-evaluation techniques reveals that the relaxation of financing constraints did not affect economic efficiency for the group of firms that received subsidized capital.
description: Les auteurs examinent le comportement de l'investissement d'un échantillon de petites entreprises sri lankaises ayant un accès limité au crédit. À partir d'un ensemble unique de données longitudinales, ils analysent et comparent les activités de deux groupes de petites entreprises qui se distinguent par leur capacité d'accès au crédit. Le premier groupe se compose d'entreprises disposant de prêts subventionnés largement par la Banque mondiale, tandis que le second réunit des entreprises qui ne bénéficient pas de cette forme de subvention. Les méthodes employées pour évaluer le programme de prêt montrent que le relâchement des contraintes financières n'a pas eu d'incidence sur l'efficience économique du groupe d'entreprises bénéficiaires d'un financement subventionné.

On the low-temperature diffusion of localized Frenkel excitons in linear molecular aggregates

description: We study theoretically diffusion of one-dimensional Frenkel excitons in J-aggregates at temperatures that are smaller or of the order of the J-band width. We consider an aggregate as an open linear chain with uncorrelated on-site (diagonal) disorder that localizes the exciton at chain segments of size smaller than the full chain length. The exciton diffusion over the localization segments is considered as incoherent hopping. The diffusion is probed by the exciton fluorescence quenching which is due to the presence of point traps in the aggregate. The rate equation for populations of the localized exciton states is used to describe the exciton diffusion and trapping. We show that there exist two regimes of the exciton diffusion at low temperatures. The first, slower one, involves only the states of the very tail of the density of states, while the second, much faster one, also involves the higher states that are close to the bottom of the exciton band. The activation energy for the first regime of diffusion is of the order of one fifth of the J-band width, while for the second one it is of the order of the full J-band width. We discuss also the experimental data on the fast low-temperature exciton-exciton annihilation reported recently by I. G. Scheblykin {\em et al}, J. Phys. Chem. B {\bf 104}, 10949 (2000).

description: While there is a large literature on agricultural technology adoption, evidence from the poorest countries is still lacking and the decision-making process of farmers is still poorly understood. We empirically analyze mineral fertilizer adoption among poor and food insecure smallholder farmers in South-Kivu, eastern DR Congo, after its introduction by a research and extension program. We disentangle the adoption process in an awareness step, a tryout decision, and a continued adoption decision. We show that variables commonly used to explain agricultural technology adoption, and the different program interventions, have a different impact on the different steps in the adoption process.

description: Agricultural policies in Rwanda focus on agricultural intensification and increased market orientation of the smallholder farm sector. Cooperatives are seen as key vehicles in this but little is known about their effectiveness to achieve these goals. In this paper we analyze the impact of cooperative membership on agricultural performance for rural households in Rwanda. Cross-sectional household data, collected in 2012, are used to analyze the impact of cooperative membership on different agricultural performance indicators. We specifically look at the diversity in cooperatives and distinguish different types of cooperatives in several ways. We use several econometric techniques to deal with potential selection bias in estimating the impact of cooperative membership, including a proxy variable method based on a willingness to pay measure and propensity score matching (PSM) methods. We find that cooperative membership in general has a positive impact on different farm performance indicators but that these effects are driven be specific types of cooperatives.

description: This paper studies the convergence difficulty of cohesive zone models in static analysis. It is shown that an inappropriate starting point of iterations in the Newton-Raphson method is responsible for the convergence difficulty. A simple, innovative approach is then proposed to overcome the convergence issue. The technique is robust, simple to implement in a finite element framework, does not compromise the accuracy of analysis, and provides fast convergence. The paper explains the implementation algorithm in detail and presents three benchmark examples. It is concluded that the method is computationally efficient, has a general application, and outperforms the existing methods.

description: Production timing is an essential element in fresh vegetable growers’ efforts to maximize profitability and reduce income risks. The present study uses biophysical simulation modeling coupled with a dual crop (tomatoes, sweet corn) whole-farm economic formulation to analyze the effects of growers’ risk aversion levels and price consideration (seasonal or annual price consideration) in expected net returns and production practices. The findings indicate that consideration of seasonal price trends results in higher expected net returns and greater opportunities to mitigate risk. Furthermore, risk aversion levels substantially influence production timing when seasonal price trends are considered.

description: With the aim of examining the causal structure between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth, this study derives inductive causal inference using the directed acyclic graph approach, which makes no a priori causal assumptions. There are three major findings of this study. First, economic growth causes FDI inflows for developing countries, whereas FDI induces economic growth for developed countries. Second, trade is an important intermediary to facilitate the interaction between FDI and other factors. Third, the stock market is found to be an intermediary that amplifies the influence on FDI from many causal variables of FDI for developed countries.

description: The conductivity of extremely high mobility dilute two-dimensional holes in GaAs changes linearly with temperature in the insulating side of the metal-insulator transition. Hopping conduction, characterized by an exponentially decreasing conductivity with decreasing temperature, is not observed when the conductivity is smaller than $e^{2}/h$. We suggest that strong interactions in a regime close to the Wigner crystallization must be playing a role in the unusual transport.

description: Using archival {\it Chandra} observations with a total effective exposure of 734 ks, we derive an updated catalog of point sources in the massive globular cluster Terzan 5. Our catalog covers an area of $58.1\, \rm arcmin^{2}$ ($R\leq 4.3 \, \rm arcmin$) with 489 X-ray sources, and more than $75\%$ of these sources are first detected in this cluster. We find significant dips in the radial distribution profiles of X-ray sources in Terzan 5, with the projected distance and width of the distribution dips for bright ($L_{X} \gtrsim 9.5\times 10^{30} {\rm\ erg\ \,s^{-1}}$) X-ray sources are larger than that of the faint ($L_{X} \lesssim 9.5\times 10^{30} {\rm\ erg\ \,s^{-1}}$) sources. By fitting the radial distribution of the X-ray sources with a"generalized King model", we estimated an average mass of $1.48\pm0.11\,M_{\odot}$ and $1.27\pm0.13\,M_{\odot}$ for the bright and faint X-ray sources, respectively. These results are in agreement with that observed in 47 Tuc, which may suggest a universal mass segregation effect for X-ray sources in GCs. Compared with 47 Tuc, we show that the two-body relaxation timescale of Terzan 5 is much smaller, but its dynamical age is significantly younger than 47 Tuc. These features suggest that the evolution of Terzan 5 is not purely driven by two-body relaxation, and tidal stripping effect also plays an important role in accelerating the dynamical evolution of this cluster.

description: We investigate the localization properties of driven models that exhibit a sub-extensive number of extended states in the static setting. We consider instances where the extended modes are or are not protected by topological considerations. To this end, we contrast the strongly driven disordered lowest Landau level, which we refer to as the random Landau model (RLM), with the random dimer model (RDM); the latter also has a sub-extensive set of delocalized modes in the middle of the spectrum whose origin is not topological. We map the driven models on to a higher dimensional effective model and numerically compute the localization length as a function of disorder strength, drive amplitude and frequency using the recursive Green's function method. Our numerical results indicate that in the presence of a strong drive (low frequency and/or large drive amplitude), the topologically protected RLM continues to exhibit a spectrum with both localized and delocalized (or critical) modes, but the spectral range of delocalized modes is enhanced by the driving. This occurs due to an admixture of the localized modes with extended modes arising due to the topologically protected critical energy in the middle of the spectrum. On the other hand, in the RDM, a weak drive immediately localizes the entire spectrum. This occurs in contrast to the naive expectation from perturbation theory that mixing between localized and delocalized modes generically enhances the delocalization of all modes. Our work highlights the importance of the origin of the delocalized modes in the localization properties of the corresponding Floquet model.

title: Alternative Targeting Regimes, Transmission Lags, and the Exchange Rate Channel
Creators: name: Lam, Jean-Paul
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2003

description: Using a closed-economy model, Jensen (2002) and Walsh (2003) have, respectively, shown that a policy regime that optimally targets nominal income growth (NIT) or the change in the output gap (SLT) outperforms a regime that targets inflation, because NIT and SLT induce more inertia in the actions of the central bank, effectively replicating the outcome obtained under precommitment. The author obtains a very different result when the analysis is extended to open-economy models. Flexible CPI-inflation targeting outperforms both SLT and NIT and is the most robust targeting regime. The gains from targeting CPI inflation are particularly large when the model features transmission lags and/or departures from the uncovered interest parity condition. The author also finds that the stabilization bias inherent in discretionary policy is smaller in an open-economy setting.
description: À partir d'un modèle d'économie fermée, Jensen (2002) et Walsh (2003) ont montré, respectivement, que les régimes de politique monétaire prenant pour cible la croissance du revenu nominal ou l'évolution de l'écart de production sont supérieurs aux régimes fondés sur une cible d'inflation, car ils induisent davantage d'inertie dans les décisions de la banque centrale, recréant de fait les résultats observés lorsque l'action des autorités monétaires repose sur le respect d'un engagement préalable. Par contre, l'auteur parvient à des conclusions fort différentes pour les modèles d'économie ouverte. Un régime flexible axé sur la poursuite d'une cible d'inflation définie en fonction de l'IPC est plus efficace et plus robuste qu'un régime prenant pour cible la variation de l'écart de production ou la croissance du revenu nominal. Les gains qu'un tel régime permet d'obtenir sont particulièrement importants quand on introduit dans le modèle des délais de transmission ou des écarts par rapport à la parité des taux d'intérêt sans couverture. L'auteur constate également que le biais de stabilisation inhérent à une conduite discrétionnaire de la politique monétaire est plus faible en contexte d'économie ouverte.
title: Are Distorted Beliefs Too Good to be True?
Creators: name: Misina, Miroslav
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2003

description: In a recent attempt to account for the equity-premium puzzle within a representative-agent model, Cecchetti, Lam, and Mark (2000) relax the assumption of rational expectations and in its place use the assumption of distorted beliefs. The author shows that the explanatory power of the distorted beliefs model is due to an inconsistency in the model and that an attempt to remove this inconsistency removes the model's explanatory power. Using the theory of rational beliefs, the author constructs a model in which the inconsistency is not present, compares its performance with that of the distorted beliefs model, and gives a simple interpretation of the results obtained.
description: Dans une étude récente qui tente d'expliquer l'énigme de la prime de risque rattachée aux actions dans le cadre d'un modèle à agent représentatif, Cecchetti, Lam et Mark (2000) écartent l'hypothèse des anticipations rationnelles pour utiliser à sa place l'hypothèse de la distorsion des croyances. L'auteur montre que le pouvoir explicatif du modèle de distorsion des croyances est dû à une incohérence intrinsèque et que tenter de l'éliminer revient à supprimer le pouvoir explicatif du modèle. Se fondant sur la théorie des croyances rationnelles, l'auteur construit un modèle qui, lui, est cohérent, compare sa tenue avec celle du modèle de distorsion des croyances et donne une interprétation simple des résultats obtenus.

description: The author explains how self-enforcing labour contracts can enhance the performance of macroeconomic models. He exposes the benefits of using these dynamic contracts to account for some puzzling macroeconomic facts regarding the dynamics and persistence of employment, consumption and output. In particular, the dynamic properties of employment and consumption differ from those derived with the standard flexible-wage model, in a way that could shed new light on the dynamics puzzle typical of macroeconomic models.
description: L'objet de ce survol est de mettre en évidence les implications des rigidités des salaires (et des revenus d'emploi) liées au partage du risque, pour la reproduction de certains faits stylisés concernant la persistance des cycles économiques. Il s'agit de montrer les effets potentiels du partage du risque entre entreprises et employés sur la dynamique de l'emploi et de la consommation et donc de la production, dynamique que les modèles macro-économiques traditionnels ont parfois du mal à reproduire. En particulier, j'expose les propriétés que les contrats de travail autoexécutoires confèrent au salaire réel, à l'emploi et à la consommation; et j'explique comment ces propriétés sont susceptibles de pallier les insuffisances, au chapitre de la dynamique — plus précisément de la persistance — des mécanismes de propagation interne de ces modèles courants.

title: Anatomy of a Twin Crisis
Creators: name: Solomon, Raphael
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2003

description: The author presents a model of a twin crisis, in which foreign and domestic residents play a banking game. Both "honest" and run equilibria of the post-deposit subgame exist; some run equilibria lead to a currency crisis, as agents convert domestic currency to foreign currency. In the subgame, sunspot variables can affect the equilibrium. The author calculates the unique equilibrium of the game numerically, taking into account the possible realizations of the sunspot variables. He also calibrates the model to the Turkish economy, providing insight into the Turkish twin crisis of 2001.
description: L'auteur propose un modèle des crises jumelles (crise de liquidité bancaire suivie d'une crise de change) dans lequel des agents nationaux et étrangers interagissent dans le cadre d'un jeu bancaire. Dans le sous-jeu auquel se livrent les agents après leurs dépôts à la seule banque du modèle, deux équilibres existent : un équilibre « honnête » et un équilibre de panique bancaire. Le second type d'équilibre peut causer une crise de change, dès lors que les agents convertissent en la devise étrangère leurs fonds exprimés en monnaie locale. Dans le sous-jeu, des aléas de type « tache solaire » peuvent déterminer l'équilibre. L'auteur calcule numériquement l'équilibre unique du jeu en tenant compte des aléas possibles. Il étalonne son modèle en fonction de l'économie de la Turquie afin d'analyser la crise qui a frappé ce pays en 2001.
