Optical birefringence and x-ray measurements are reported for single crystals \((0.5 mm \times 2 mm \times 5 \mu m)\) of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine as a function of temperature and relative humidity. Large single ...

Light scattered from the driven free surface of the smectic-A phase of octyloxy cyanobiphenyl (8OCB) provides a low-frequency measurement of second sound. This yields an absolute measurement of the smectic elastic constant, ...

Three exchange-rate regimes--a float, a one-sided peg, and a cooperative peg--are evaluated and compared in terms of efficiency and welfare levels. The framework of analysis embodies country-specific monies, with the money ...

This paper studies the sequence of short-run quantity-constrained equilibria of a model with a single storable output, labor and money. The durability of output gives rise to inventory fluctuations which influence the ...

The theoretical analysis focuses on the distinction between temporary and permanent movements in government purchases. Under plausible conditions, the temporary case involves an output response that is positive, less than ...
