Active versus passive academic networking: evidence from micro-level data

Evidence from German Micro‐Level Data

We analyze the offshorability of jobs using the German Qualifications and Career Survey. The paper differentiates between outsourcing potential and international tradability and systematically uses a large set of potential determinants of organizational and spatial relocation derived from the existing literature on offshoring. Applying principal component analysis, we are able to co...

Application level active networking

In this paper we describe and discuss an Application Level Active Network system. This system provides the beneets of proposed Active Networks, including rapid and transparent deployment of new network services. However our system is also relatively free of the problems of router-level Active Network deployment, such as concerns over safety and resource management. We describe our overall archi...

Heterogeneity in Price Rigidity: Evidence from Primary Micro-Level Data*

We combine two unique data sets to document and explain a time varying price rigidity. The first data set consists of the time series of actual retail and wholesale transaction prices, and a measure of upstream commodity cost for 12 products in refrigerated and frozen orange juice categories collected weekly over a three-year period, 1989–1992, at a large midwestern supermarket chain. A special...

Evidence from New Micro Data

Active versus passive scalar turbulence.

Active and passive scalars transported by an incompressible two-dimensional conductive fluid are investigated. It is shown that a passive scalar displays a direct cascade towards the small scales while the active magnetic potential builds up large-scale structures in an inverse cascade process. Correlations between scalar input and particle trajectories are found to be responsible for those dra...
