(Vanderbilt University, 2000)This article examines the intellectual influences that economists exerted on Nicholas Georgescu Roegen in his formative and mature years. While these include Malthus, Marshall, Pareto and Schumpeter, attention is focused ...

-
(Vanderbilt University, 2003)This paper extends the diffusion index (DI) forecast approach of Stock and Watson (1998, 2002) to the case of possibly nonlinear dynamic factor models. When the number of series is large, a two-step procedure based on the ...
-
(Journal of Geophysical Research, 2017)Recent work has highlighted the significance of long-distance particle motions in hillslope sediment transport. Such motions imply that the flux at a given hillslope position is appropriately described as a weighted ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2003)This paper derives the asymptotic distribution of the nonparametric neural network estimator of the Lyapunov exponent in a noisy system. Positivity of the Lyapunov exponent is an operational definition of chaos. We introduce ...

(Physical Review Letters, 2019-09-17)We report on the nuclear dependence of transverse single-spin asymmetries (TSSAs) in the production of positively charged hadrons in polarized p(up arrow) + p, p(up arrow) + Al, and p(up arrow) + Au collisions at root s(NN) ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2008-04-20)We use projected number density profiles of galaxy groups to investigate the relationship between galaxy group structure and dark matter structure within halos. We primarily study a specific model of how galaxies populate ...
-
(FRONTIERS IN MICROBIOLOGY, 2019-04-24)Acquisition and subsequent metabolism of different carbon and nitrogen sources have been shown to play an important role in virulence attributes of the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus, such as the secretion of host ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, Department of History, 2016)When Nazi leadership ultimately embraced the notion of hosting the 1936 Summer Olympic Games in Berlin, the decision entailed an undertaking to which an inherently militaristic society would seem ill-suited: orchestrating ...

-
(Vanderbilt University, 2005)Treating games of incomplete information with countable sets of actions and types and finite but large player sets we demonstrate that for every mixed strategy profile there is a pure strategy profile that is 'epsilon-equivalent'. ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2006)Previous literature has shown that local indeterminacy and local instability can arise in two-sector models when factor market distortions create a divergence between capital intensity ranking of the sectors on a physical ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2005)Serge Kolm's "epistemic counterfactual principle" says that a social choice only needs to be made from the actual feasible set of alternatives given the actual preference profile, but it must be justified by the choices ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2005)Kalai (2002) demonstrates that in semi anonymous Bayesian games with sufficiently many players any Bayesian equilibrium is approximately ex-post Nash. In this paper we demonstrate that the existence of an approximate expost ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2005)This paper investigates the effects of consistent and inconsistent long-run variance estimation on a unit root test based on the generalization of the von Neumann ratio. The results from the Monte Carlo experiments suggest ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2003)In this paper, we study several general equilibrium models in which the agents in an economy must decide on the appropriate level of immigration into the country. Immigration does not enter directly into the native agents' ...
-
(Frontiers In Ecology And Evolution, 2022-12-20)Studies of Rancho La Brea predators have yielded disparate dietary interpretations when analyzing bone collagen vs. enamel carbonate-requiring a better understanding of the relationship between stable carbon isotopes in ...
