title: Structural changes in a non-covalent open porous framework - ionic liquid electrode in operando conditions

description: The aim of this project is to understand the influence of an applied electric potential on the structure of a porous non-covalent network-based electrode in the presence of an ionic liquid electrolyte using in-situ small angle scattering. Cucurbit[n]urils, or nano-pumpkins, are the porous network of interest in this project. Depending on the guest confined molecule, these systems are ideal candidates for developing advanced dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) or high power supercapacitors. Direct experimental studies of the structural changes that occur due to voltage cycling are lacking. This project with investigate ion intercalation, crystallization and nanostructured framework growth; these topics are crucial for understanding energy storage and conversion processes.

title: Low-energy spin fluctuations and possible continuum in MnSb2O6

description: The proposal requests time to investigate the powder averaged spin fluctuations in a high spin=5/2 triangular magnet MnSb2O6.  This investigation will be an important first step towards performing single crystal measurements planned for triple-axis spectrometers.  The system is a multiferroic and is magnetically and structurally chiral.  Its counterpart (langasite) also displays an interesting continuum of excitations despite the classic nature of the Fe3+ moments.  This continuum was first observed on a powder using MARI illustrating the importance of this study for future experiments.

title: Understanding the structure of PCBM in the amorphous and liquid state

description: Fullerene and its derivatives have become materials of great technological interest due to their growing success as electron acceptors in organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). However despite their success, little is known about the structure and dynamics of fullerene derivatives even though it has been shown in numerous studies that their structure is crucial to determining the domain morphology and resultant device efficiencies. Crucially in many cases the fullerene domains are seen to adopt an amorphous phase and thus it is essential we first understand the basic amorphous structure of PCBM. Following a successful investigation on OSIRIS on pure PCBM , this proposal seeks to extend our study by taking advantage of NIMROD's long length scale capabilities to acquire what we believe to be the first fully quantitative structural description of PCBM in the liquid and amorphous states.

title: Characterising the amorphicity and porosity of ice aggregates in planet-forming collisions

description: With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities are just a few cm s-1, we still do not know how particles ?stick? forming larger ?boulders? until gravitational interactions lead to planet formation. It is postulated both ice-coated silicate aggregates may be the key. Here we propose to exploit the unique NIMROD fast acquisition times and wide Q-range to measure the meso-scale porosity of icy grain analogues, the aggregate granularity and porosity, concurrently with the inter-molecular bulk structure, and the subsequent evolution of the grains on heating. This will characterise particle size, shape, porosity and crystallinity vs amorphicity distributions, vital parameters when studying particle collisions and converting empirical data to planet forming models.

title: Unconventional superconductivity in quasi-1D K_2Cr_3As_3 (QLCR)

description: Metallic systems with one-dimensional chain-like atomic structure can support unusual mechanisms for electron pairing leading to superconductivity. K_2Cr_3As_3 is one of a family of recently discovered one-dimensional superconductors which has a transition temperature of 6.1 K, a value nearly five times higher than that of (TMTSF)_2ClO_4, the most well-studied previous example of a 1D superconductor. This work will use a range of implanted muon techniques to measure key superconducting parameters of K_2Cr_3As_3 and test the nature of the unconventional superconductivity in this intriguing new system.

title: Photoinduced carrier lifetime in silicon: E-field application for carrier separation

description: This continuing experiment is proposed based on our previous experiment RB1510208, which we have carried out just recently. The experiment successfully observed the lifetime of the photoinduced carriers in intrinsitc silicon by utilising a combination of pulsed laser and muons. We could observe its temperature dependence from 291 to 20 K, but it is still necessary to have more data points in the low temperature range because this is where scientifically most important. We have also measured the ALC spectra changing dynamically as a function of laser-muon delay time. This observation brought us an idea of separating the charge carriers by an electric field, and observe the interaction of Mu and electrons/holes independently. This would also show us the dynamic feature of these carriers.

title: Magnetic interparticle coupling and magnetisation process in TbCu2 superantiferromagnets

description: Magnetic nanoparticles are being investigated intensively. They show a core/shell structure in which different magnetic orderings are possible.The superantiferromagnetic TbCu2 presents an antiferromagnetic core and a disordered shell. In fact they constitute a two phase material where new theoretical approaches to understand the anisotropy and the magnetisation process can be tested.These nanoparticles can be interacting magnetically  varying greatly the macroscopic response. For technological applications, especially biomedical purposes, it is important to control these interactions to tune the agglomeration.

title: Domestic Politics and United States Foreign Policy: A Study of Cold War Conflict Behavior
title: Archival Version

description: This study reexamines an empirical claim that is broadly accepted in international relations: during the Cold War, United States foreign policy belligerence was influenced strongly by domestic factors. The authors develop a rational expectations theory that produces hypotheses that are at odds with that result. They test these hypotheses and report findings that are both consistent with their rational expectations theory and inconsistent with the domestic effects hypothesis. They conclude that international politics, rather than domestic politics, was the primary determinant of United States foreign policy behavior during the Cold War.

title: The 2001 Recession: How Was It Different and What Developments May Have Caused It?
title: Archival Version

description: The 2001 recession was unique in several respects. For instance, the peak-to-trough decline in real Gross Domestic Product was one of the smallest on record and its duration was slightly shorter than average. This article examines some of the other unique features of the 2001 recession compared with the "average" post-World War II recession. The author also shows that forecasters were surprised by the onset of the recession, perhaps because of incomplete data available to them in real time. Finally, the article examines the errors from a well-known macroeconomic forecast and finds that forecasters were surprised by the declines in real business and household fixed investment, as well as real net exports, before the March 2001 business cycle peak.

title: The Efficient Market Hypothesis and Identification in Structural VARs
title: Archival Version

description: Structural vector autoregression (SVAR) models are commonly used to investigate the effect of structural shocks on economic variables. The identifying restrictions imposed in many of these exercises have been criticized in the literature. This paper extends this literature by showing that, if the SVAR includes one or more variables that are efficient in the strong form of the efficient market hypothesis, the identifying restrictions frequently imposed in SVARs cannot be satisfied. The authors argue that this analysis will likely apply to VARs that include variables that are consistent with weaker forms of the efficient market hypothesis, especially when the data are measured at the monthly or quarterly frequencies, as is frequently the case.

title: U.S. Regional Business Cycles and the Natural Rate of Unemployment
title: Archival Version

description: Estimates of the natural rate of unemployment are important in many macroeconomic models used by economists and policy advisors. This paper shows how such estimates might benefit from closer attention to regional developments. Regional business cycles do not move in lock-step, and greater dispersion among regions can affect estimates of the natural rate of unemployment. There is microeconomic evidence that employers are more reluctant to cut wages than they are to raise them. Accordingly, the relationship between wage inflation and vacancies is convex: An increase in vacancies raises wage inflation at an increasing rate. The authors' empirical results are consistent with this and indicate that if all else had remained constant, the reduction in the dispersion of regional unemployment rates between 1982 and 2000 would have meant a two-percentage-point drop in the natural rate of aggregate unemployment.

title: Casino Gaming and Local Employment Trends
title: Archival Version

description: Casino gambling has become a major industry in the United States. Economic development, especially through increases in employment, is the primary justification for casino development in a local area. This article estimates the employment effects of casino gambling for six counties in the Midwest and southern United States using ARIMA forecasting models. The results suggest that rural counties that adopt casino gambling as a major industry experience significant gains in payroll and household employment. The effects are less pronounced in urban counties, partly due to the higher volatility of their employment data relative to those rural counties.

title: Burgernomics: The Big Mac Guide to Purchasing Power Parity
title: Archival Version

description: The theory of purchasing power parity (PPP) has long been a staple of international economic analysis. Recent years have seen the rise in popularity of a tongue-in-cheek, fastfood version of PPP: The Big Mac index. In this article, Michael Pakko and Patricia Pollard describe how comparisons of Big Mac prices around the world contain the ingredients necessary to demonstrate the fundamental principles of PPP. They show that the Big Mac index does nearly as well as more comprehensive measures of international price comparisons and that deviations from "McParity" illustrate why PPP often appears not to hold as a practical matter.

title: The Federal Reserve Responds to Crises: September 11th Was Not the First
title: Archival Version

description: A primary purpose of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was to prevent banking panics by establishing the Federal Reserve System to function as a lender of last resort. Other types of financial crisis require a similar response, however, and the Federal Reserve has repeatedly used its capacity to generate liquidity to insulate the economy from crises in financial markets. The Fed's response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, is the most recent example of this. This paper reviews the Fed's responses to crises and potential crises in financial markets: the stock market crash of 1987, the Russian default, and the September 11th attacks.

title: State Government Finances: World War II to the Current Crises
title: Archival Version

description: This article examines the current state budget crises from a historical perspective. The role of major expenditures and revenue sources in the context of the current slowdown and how reliance on various revenue sources has changed since World War II are addressed. Tax revenue variability over the business cycles and the use of nontraditional revenue sources, such as state lotteries and casino gaming, are also discussed. The article further comments on the role of fiscal institutions, such as tax and expenditure limitation laws, rainy day funds, and balanced budget rules, in state budgeting and finance.

title: Monetary Policy Actions, Macroeconomic Data Releases, and Inflation Expectations
title: Archival Version

description: This article analyzes how announced surprises in monetary policy actions and macroeconomic data releases affect the average rate of inflation that economic agents expect to prevail over the 10-year period following the surprise. The analysis also addresses the effect of Federal Reserve communication and surprises in monetary policy actions on perceived inflation risk over this 10-year period. The study shows that surprises in macroeconomic data releases and monetary policy actions indeed affect the expected rate of inflation. Further, there is evidence that surprises in monetary policy actions increase perceived inflation risk, whereas Federal Reserve communication reduces it.

title: How Costly Is Sustained Low Inflation for the U.S. Economy?
title: Archival Version

description: The authors study the welfare cost of inflation in a general equilibrium life-cycle model that includes households that live for many periods, production and capital, simple monetary and financial sectors, and a fairly elaborate government sector. The government's taxation of capital income is not indexed for inflation. They find that a plausibly calibrated version of this model has a steady state that matches a variety of facts about the postwar U.S. economy. They use the model to estimate the welfare cost of permanent, policy-induced changes in the inflation rate and find that most of the costs of inflation are direct and indirect consequences of the fact that inflation increases the effective tax rate on capital income. The cost estimates are an order of magnitude larger that other estimates in the literature.

title: Ration Pricing Explanation for the Failure of the CAPM
title: Archival Version

description: Many authors have found that the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) does not explain stock returns -- possibly because it is only a special case of Merton's (1973) intertemporal CAPM under the assumption of constant investment opportunities (e.g., a constant expected equity premium). This paper explains the progress that has been made by dropping the assumption that expected returns are constant. First, the evidence on the predictability of returns is summarized. Then, an example from Campbell (1993) is used to show how time-varying expected returns can lead to the rejection of the CAPM.

title: The Timeline of Presidential Election Campaigns
title: Archival Version

description: The research addresses the evolution of electoral sentiment over the campaign cycle. The researchers translate general arguments about the role of election campaigns into a set of formal, statistical expectations, then outline an empirical analysis and examine trial-heat poll results for the 15 United States presidential elections between 1944 and 2000. The analysis focuses specifically on two questions. First, to what extent does the observable variation in aggregate poll results represent real movement in electoral preferences (if the election were held the day of the poll) as opposed to mere survey error? Second, to the extent polls register true movement of preferences owing to the shocks of campaign events, do the effects last or do they decay? Answers to these questions tell us whether and the extent to which campaign events have effects on preferences and whether these effects persist until Election Day. The answers thus inform about whether campaigns have any real impact on the final election outcome.

title: Testing the Expectations Hypothesis: Some New Evidence for Japan
title: Archival Version

description: The deregulation of the Japanese financial markets and the adoption of an interest rate policy instrument by the Bank of Japan prompted a number of empirical investigations of the expectation hypothesis (EH) of the term structures of interest rates in Japan. This paper is a continuation of this research. It deviates from the previous work on the EH in Japan in two respects. First, it tests the EH by estimating a general vector autoregression (VAR) of the long-term and short-term rates and testing the restrictions implied by the EH on the VAR using a Lagrange multiplier test. Second, the issue of stationarity of interest rates is considered. The paper not only considers the possibility that Japanese interest rates are nonstationary, but also analyzes the implications of nonstationarity for the EH.
