For photopolymers, knowing the rate of diffusion of the active monomer is important when modeling the material evolution during recording in order to understand and optimize their performance. Unfortunately, a confusingly ...
In [1,2] an error (by a factor of 1000) in the diffusion rate of monomer in a photopolymer material used by the authors of [3], is presented. In [3] no errors are identified in our analysis and our physical evidence is not ...

Almost twenty-five years after the appearance of Dixit and Stiglitz’s paper on
monopolistic competition and optimum product diversity, I try to take stock of the progres which has been made in applying their approach to ...

This paper models monopoly markets on which demand is addictive as defined by Stigler and Becker; and hence dynamic. It is shown that the monopolists' equilibrium is unique and stable and the time path taken to reach it ...

A monopsony model of the labour market is developed where wages and the effort level
are chosen by the firm. Higher wages raise labour supply while higher effort reduces it. Wages will be below the socially optimal level ...

In this paper we study the production and pricing of a good by a single supplier (such as a monopolist or government) under some given optimality criterion--for example, profit maximization or social benefit maximization. ...

In this note we study the implications on a bivariate normal Roy Model of two sets of monotonicity hypotheses proposed recently by Manski and Pepper (2000). In that simple context, we show that these hypotheses imply strong ...
Among the perceived inputs in the “production” of child quality is family size; there is an extensive theoretical literature that postulates a tradeoff between child quantity and quality within a family. However, there is ...
There is an extensive theoretical literature that postulates a trade-off between child quantity and quality within a family. However, there is little causal evidence that speaks to this theory. Using a rich data set on the ...
Polarity items must, by definition, fit inside the scope of their licenser; items like any N, in addition, appear to require a c-commanding and overt licenser. It is argued that the relevant restriction refers to precedence, ...
Debate about the adequacy of public action during the Great Irish Famine is hampered by a lack of detailed information on its impact at local level. This study addresses the question of local agency with a case study of ...
The recent economic crisis has demonstrated the extent to which households are
exposed to the financialisation of advanced economies. Much of the debate surrounding the reasons for the crisis has centred on the role of ...
There have been occasional ad hoc efforts to influence consumer behaviour by the imposition of product taxes that reflect external costs imposed by such products that are not initially included in their price. In the spirit ...
Low birth weight has considerable short and long-term consequences and leads to high costs to the individual and society even in a developed economy. Low birth weight is partially a consequence of choices made by the ...
It is shown that both surface tilting and translational motion can be independently estimated by use of the speckle photographic technique by capturing consecutive images in two different fractional Fourier domains.
A ...

Focussing on recent UK graduates, a wage gap of 12% is found. The unexplained component of the gap is small and a large fraction of the gap can be explained by subject choice, job characteristics, motivation and expectation ...
