    • Stassun, Keivan G. (Astronomical Journal, 2023-02-01)
      We present high-precision radial velocities (RVs) from the HARPS-N spectrograph for HD79210 and HD79211, two M0V members of a gravitationally-bound binary system. We detect a planet candidate with a period of 24.421(-0.0 ...
    • Chance, John K (Vanderbilt University, 1978)
    • Eden, Benjamin (Vanderbilt University, 2005)
      I study an example of a competitive environment in which trade occurs in a sequential manner. In this example, a country with a stable demand may suffer from trade with a country with unstable demand, there may be too much ...
    • Horowitz, Andrew W.; Souza, Andre Portela (Vanderbilt University, 2004)
      In this paper we compare the intra-household dispersion of children's education achievement in single female-parent households with two-parent households. We find significantly more dispersion across children in households' ...
    • Weymark, Diana N.; Reeves, Daniel (Vanderbilt University, 2001)
      The problem of monetary policy delegation is formulated as a two-stage non-cooperative game between the government and the central bank. The solution to this policy game determines the optimal combination of central bank ...
    • Yilmazkuday, Hakan (Vanderbilt University, 2008)
      This paper develops an open economy DSGE model with an emphasis on trade costs to evaluate the performance of the Bank of Canada in the Canadian inflation targeting experience. For model parametrization, the New-Keynesian ...
    • Weymark, Diana N. (Vanderbilt University, 2001)
      In virtually all theoretical studies of inflation targeting, the announced inflation target is treated as being fully credible. However, inflation targeting policies have typically been implemented after protracted periods ...
    • Rousseau, Peter L.; Yilmazkuday, Hakan (Vanderbilt University, 2009)
      A large body of evidence links financial development to economic growth, yet the channels through which inflation affects this relationship and its stability have been less thoroughly explored. We take an econometric and ...

    • Scully, Peter C. (Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, 2008-04-21)
      Monte Carlo methods are well suited to the evaluation of radiation transport phenomena. The scalable phantoms employed in this project permitted rapid creation of three models of similar geometry, but different body habitus. ...
    • Jiang, Nien-Huei (Vanderbilt University, 2000)
      This paper explores a new aspect of the relationship between backwardness and growth, "information spillover". If solving problems is a source of economic growth, then knowing which problems have been solved is per se ...

    • Shen, Xiao; Herna´ndez-Pagan, Emil A; Zhou, Wu; Puzyrev, Yevgeniy S.; Idrobo, Juan-Carlos; Macdonald, Janet E.; Pennycook, Stephen J.; Pantelides, Sokrates T. (2014-11-14)
      The search for optimal thermoelectric materials aims for structures in which the crystalline order is disrupted to lower the thermal conductivity without degradation of the electron conductivity. Here we report the synthesis ...
    • Crucini, Mario J. (Vanderbilt University, 2006)
      This paper is a non-technical review of research developments in the international real business cycle literature. International business cycle facts are summarize with particular attention to the sources of output variance ...
    • Berka, Martin; Crucini, Mario J.; Wang, Chih-Wei (Vanderbilt University, 2011)
      Cole and Obstfeld (1991) exposited a classic result where equilibrium movements in the terms of trade could make ex ante risk-sharing arrangements unnecessary: a unity elasticity of substitution across goods and production ...
    • Eden, Benjamin (Vanderbilt University, 2006)
      What are the "liquidity services" provided by ìover-pricedî assets? How do international seigniorage payments affect the choice of monetary policies? Does a country gain when other hold its ìover-pricedî ...
