Competition with asymmetric switching costs
, 2007
"... We analyze the effects of asymmetric switching costs on two identical firms that produce an homoge-neous good and compete in prices. Both firms inherit a fraction of the market which is “locked-in ” by the switching costs. When switching costs are low, firms face a tradeoff between charging a high p ..."

Asymmetric switch costs as sequential difficulty effects
- THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY 2010, 63 (10), 1873–1894
, 2010
"... When switching between tasks of unequal difficulty, there is often a larger switch cost for the easy task than for the difficult task. The authors propose a new account of these asymmetric switch costs based on sequential difficulty effects. They argue that the asymmetry arises from impaired perform ..."

Costly search and mutual fund flows
- Journal of Finance
, 1998
"... This paper studies the flows of funds into and out of equity mutual funds. Consumers base their fund purchase decisions on prior performance information, but do so asymmetrically, investing disproportionately more in funds that performed very well the prior period. Search costs seem to be an importa ..."

The theory and practice of corporate finance: Evidence from the field
- Journal of Financial Economics
, 2001
"... We survey 392 CFOs about the cost of capital, capital budgeting, and capital structure. Large firms rely heavily on present value techniques and the capital asset pricing model, while small firms are relatively likely to use the payback criterion. We find that a surprising number of firms use their ..."

Efficient Software-Based Fault Isolation
, 1993
"... One way to provide fault isolation among cooperating software modules is to place each in its own address space. However, for tightly-coupled modules, this solution incurs prohibitive context switch overhead, In this paper, we present a software approach to implementing fault isolation within a sing ..."

A Scalable, Commodity Data Center Network Architecture
, 2008
"... Today’s data centers may contain tens of thousands of computers with significant aggregate bandwidth requirements. The network architecture typically consists of a tree of routing and switching elements with progressively more specialized and expensive equipment moving up the network hierarchy. Unfo ..."

. Unfortunately, even when deploying the highest-end IP switches/routers, resulting topologies may only support 50 % of the aggregate bandwidth available at the edge of the network, while still incurring tremendous cost. Nonuniform bandwidth among data center nodes complicates application design and limits
Incentive-compatible debt contracts: The one-period problem
- Review of Economic Studies
, 1985
"... In a simple model of borrowing and lending with asymmetric information we show that the optimal, incentive-compatible debt contract is the standard debt contract. The second-best level of investment never exceeds the first-best and is strictly less when there is a positive probability of costly bank ..."

A fast and flexible statistical model for large-scale population genotype data: Applications to inferring missing genotypes and haplotype phase
- American Journal of Human Genetics
, 2005
"... We present a statistical model for patterns of genetic variation in samples of unrelated individuals from natural populations. This model is based on the idea that, over short regions, haplotypes in a population tend to cluster into groups of similar haplotypes. To capture the fact that, because of ..."

In addition, we demonstrate that the model accurately reflects uncertainty in its estimates, in that probabilities
Performance analysis of k-ary n-cube interconnection networks

The cost of a network is not a function of the number of switches required, but rather a function of the wiring density required to construct the network.
