(16TH Internatinal Symposium on Capture Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy and Related Topics (CGS16), 2018)The paper reviews the systematic studies of triaxial deformations, new mode excitations and shape evolutions with regard to triaxial deformation in the neutron-rich nuclei with Z = 41-46, A similar to 100-116.
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2007)This paper presents a new family of chronic poverty measures based on the Pa poverty measures of Foster, Greer,and Thorbecke (1984). The chronically poor are identified using two cutoffs: a standard poverty line, which ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2010)We develop a general equilibrium search model with endogenous health accumulation and a unique feature of the US tax code, that exempts employer-provided medical benefits from taxation, to jointly account for US long term ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2009)In this paper we examine a dynamic model of the process by which multiple related lawsuits may be filed and combined; we also examine actions a defendant may employ that may disrupt the formation of a joint suit. Our initial ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2004)In this paper, we address two important issues in survival model selection for censored data generated by the Archimedean copula family; method of estimating the parametric copulas and data reuse. We demonstrate that for ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2005)We undertake a case study of riots in the context of Cleveland's economic decline between 1950 and 1980. Our empirical perspective emphasizes differential changes in property values and population levels across census ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2002)It has been claimed that the deviations from purchasing power parity are highly persistent and have quite long half-lives under the assumption of a linear adjustment of real exchange rates. However, inspired by trade cost ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2002)The paper argues that multiple equilibria-whether non-stationary or stationary- are a generic property of dynamic rational expectations models. In light of this, this paper proposes a selection criterion for choosing between ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2008)We introduce a perfect price discriminating (PPD) mechanism for allocation problems with private information. A PPD mechanism treats a seller, for example, as a perfect price discriminating monopolist who faces a price ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2000)This paper proposes a fully nonparametric test for cointegrating rank which does not require estimation of a vector autoregressive model. The test exploits the fact that the degeneracy in the moment matrix of the variables ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2000)This paper analyzes a simple and tractable model of occupational choice in the presence of credit market imperfections. We examine the relative roles of parameters governing technology and transaction costs, and history ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2007)We introduce a subsidized Vickrey auction for cost sharing problems. Although the average, marginal, and serial cost sharing mechanisms are budget-balanced, they are not allocatively efficient and they do not induce players ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2011)This article establishes versions of Moulin's [On strategy-proofness and single peakedness, Public Choice 35 (1980), 31-38] characterizations of various classes of strategy-proof social choice functions when the domain ...

(Vanderbilt University, 2008)Volatile and persistent real exchange rates are observed not only in aggregate series but also in the individual good level data. Kehoe and Midrigan (2007) recently showed that, under a standard assumption on nominal price ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2001)This paper constructs an integrated framework to disentangle the underlying economic mechanism of industrial transformation. We consider three essential elements for the analysis: skill requirements, industry wide spillovers ...
-
(Traduction, Terminologie, Rédaction, 2007)This article proposes that activist translators be involved and engaged in those legal realms, such as the treatment of "illegals" or undocumented migrants, because this is an area in which translators can act as true ...
