Experimental Tests of the Endowment Effect and the Coase Theorem,”

by Daniel Kahneman , Jack L Knetsch , Richard H Thaler - Journal of Political Economy, , 1990
"... Contrary to theoretical expectations, measures of willingness to accept greatly exceed measures of willingness to pay. This paper reports several experiments that demonstrate that this "endowment effect" persists even in market settings with opportunities to learn. Consumption objects (e. ..."

Measurement, Modeling, and Analysis of a Peer-to-Peer File-Sharing Workload

by Krishna P. Gummadi, Richard J. Dunn, Stefan Saroiu, Steven D. Gribble, Henry M. Levy, John Zahorjan , 2003
"... Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing accounts for an astonishing volume of current Internet tra#c. This paper probes deeply into modern P2P file sharing systems and the forces that drive them. By doing so, we seek to increase our understanding of P2P file sharing workloads and their implications for futu ..."

Illiquidity and stock returns: cross-section and time-series effects,

by Yakov Amihud - Journal of Financial Markets , 2002
"... Abstract This paper shows that over time, expected market illiquidity positively affects ex ante stock excess return, suggesting that expected stock excess return partly represents an illiquidity premium. This complements the cross-sectional positive return-illiquidity relationship. Also, stock ret ..."

returns are negatively related over time to contemporaneous unexpected illiquidity. The illiquidity measure here is the average across stocks of the daily ratio of absolute stock return to dollar volume, which is easily obtained from daily stock data for long time series in most stock markets. Illiquidity

Recognizing action at a distance

by Alexei A. Efros, Alexander C. Berg, Greg Mori, Jitendra Malik - PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER VISION , 2003
"... Our goal is to recognize human actions at a distance, at resolutions where a whole person may be, say, 30 pixels tall. We introduce a novel motion descriptor based on optical flow measurements in a spatio-temporal volume for each stabilized human figure, and an associated similarity measure to be us ..."

Multimodality Image Registration by Maximization of Mutual Information

by Frederik Maes, André Collignon, Dirk Vandermeulen, Guy Marchal, Paul Suetens - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MEDICAL IMAGING , 1997
"... A new approach to the problem of multimodality medical image registration is proposed, using a basic concept from information theory, mutual information (MI), or relative entropy, as a new matching criterion. The method presented in this paper applies MI to measure the statistical dependence or in ..."

Implicit Fairing of Irregular Meshes using Diffusion and Curvature Flow

by Mathieu Desbrun , Mark Meyer, Peter Schröder, Alan H. Barr , 1999
"... In this paper, we develop methods to rapidly remove rough features from irregularly triangulated data intended to portray a smooth surface. The main task is to remove undesirable noise and uneven edges while retaining desirable geometric features. The problem arises mainly when creating high-fidelit ..."

Our approach contains three novel features: an implicit integration method to achieve efficiency, stability, and large time-steps; a scale-dependent Laplacian operator to improve the diffusion process; and finally, a robust

Wide-area Internet traffic patterns and characteristics

by Kevin Thompson, Gregory J. Miller, Rick Wilder - IEEE NETWORK , 1997
"... The Internet is rapidly growing in number of users, traffic levels, and topological complexity. At the same time it is increasingly driven by economic competition. These developments render the characterization of network usage and workloads more difficult, and yet more critical. Few recent studies ..."

within the NSF-sponsored vBNS. This paper presents observations on the patterns and characteristics of wide-area Internet traffic, as recorded by MCI’s OC-3 traffic monitors. We report on measurements from two OC-3 trunks in MCI’s commercial Internet backbone over two time ranges (24-hour and 7-day

Romantic Love Conceptualized as an Attachment Process,”

by Cindy Hazan , Phillip Shaver , Mary Ainsworth , John Bowlby , Harry Gollob , Kirk-Patrick Lee , Roger Kobak , Anne Peplau , Harry Reis , Judith Schwartz , Ar-Lene Skolnick , Robert Sternberg - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, , 1987
"... This article explores the possibility that romantic love is an attachment process--a biosocial process by which affectional bonds are formed between adult lovers, just as affectional bonds are formed earlier in life between human infants and their parents. Key components of attachment theory, devel ..."

Implications for theories of romantic love are discussed, as are measurement problems and other issues related to future tests of the attachment perspective. One of the landmarks of contemporary psychology is Bowlby's (1969, 1973, 1980) three-volume

Climate and atmospheric history of the past 420,000 years from the Vostok ice core,

"... Antarctica has allowed the extension of the ice record of atmospheric composition and climate to the past four glacial-interglacial cycles. The succession of changes through each climate cycle and termination was similar, and atmospheric and climate properties oscillated between stable bounds. Inte ..."

The Determinants of Credit Spread Changes.

"... ABSTRACT Using dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are ..."

. Thus, we examine how changes in credit spreads respond to proxies for both changes in the probability of future default and for changes in the recovery rate. Separately, recent empirical studies find that the corporate bond market tends to have relatively high transactions costs and low volume. 1
