In this paper a general model for array-based approximate arithmetic computing (AAAC) is proposed to guide the minimization of processing error. In this model the key building block of AAAC circuits is the Error Compensation Unit (ECU). While designing the ECU, the two most critical problems are identified viz., determination of optimal error compensation values and identification of optimal er...

This paper examines how 12 “major depreciations” between 1997 and 2000 affected different measures of firm performance in a sample of over 13,500 companies from around the world.

Controlling for market size and trade openness, it is shown that U.S.-owned capital stocks are high in countries with a history of high profitability and low earnings variability. Simila...
