Dualism and Macroeconomic Volatility
(MIT Press, 1999)
This paper develops a simple macroeconomic model that shows that combining capital market imperfections together with unequal access to investment opportunities across individuals can generate endogenous and permanent ...
Is Europe Going Too Far?
(Elsevier, 1999)
This paper examines the process of European political integration. We start with a political-economy model of monetary policy, illustrating a general principle: economic integration requires setting up European institutions ...
Light Speed Reduction to 17 Metres per Second in an Ultracold Atomic Gas
(Nature Publishing Group, 1999)
Techniques that use quantum interference effects are being actively investigated to manipulate the optical properties of quantum systems. One such example is electromagnetically induced transparency, a quantum effect that ...
Growth of Nanotubes for Probe Microscopy Tips
(Nature Publishing Group, 1999)
Stoichiometry Issues in Pulsed Laser Deposition of Alloys Grown from Multicomponent Targets
(Springer Verlag, 1999)
We have examined the degree of congruent transfer in pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) of alloy thin films in phases that are stable over a wide range of compositions. SiGe films were deposited by PLD onto high-purity glassy ...
Crystallinities and Light Emitting Properties of Nanostructured SiGe Alloy Prepared by Pulsed Laser Ablation in Inert Background Gases
(1999)
For studying the material properties of nanostructured group IV materials, we have developed a pulsed laser ablation method into inert background gases. SiGe alloy nanocrystallites have the possibility of novel band structure ...
Acritarchs and Microfossils from the Mesoproterozoic Bangemall Group, Northwestern Australia
(Paleontological Society, 1999)
Three microfossil assemblages occur in the Mesoproterozoic Bangemall Group (1625-1000 Ma) of northwestern Australia, each occupying a different environmental and taphonomic setting. In peritidal environments, benthic ...
Egalitarianism and the Returns to Education during the Great Transformation of American Education
(University of Chicago Press, 1999)
Secondary school education greatly expanded in the United States from 1910 to 1940, setting its schooling attainment apart from that of all other countries. Barely 10 percent of youth were high school graduates in 1910, ...
By Force of Habit: A Consumption-Based Explanation of Aggregate Stock Market Behavior
(University of Chicago Press, 1999)
We present a consumption‐based model that explains a wide variety of dynamic asset pricing phenomena, including the procyclical variation of stock prices, the long‐horizon predictability of excess stock returns, and the ...
Set-and Code-Specific Activation in the Frontal Cortex: An fMRI Study of Encoding and Retrieval of Faces and Words
(MIT Press - Journals, 1999)
The frontal cortex has been described as playing both “setspecific” and “code-specific” roles in human memory processing. Set specificity refers to the finding of goal-oriented differences in activation patterns (e.g., ...
