Conflicting results have been obtained by clinical studies investigating the effect of liver cirrhosis on enzyme induction. Because ethical concerns do not give consent for methodologically rigorous studies in humans, we addressed this question by examining the effect of the prototypical inducer dexamethasone (DEX) on the pregnane X receptor (PXR)–mediated induction of CYP3A1 and 3A2 in a valid...

Newton ’ s method and FFT trading ∗ Joris

Let C[[z]] be the ring of power series over an effective ring C. In [BK78], it was first shown that differential equations over C[[z]] may be solved in an asymptotically efficient way using Newton’s method. More precisely, if M(n) denotes the complexity in order two polynomials of degree < n over C, then the first n coefficients of the solution can be computed in time O(M(n)). However, this com...

The Affiliation Effect in First-price Auctions by Joris Pinkse

We study the monotonicity of the equilibrium bid with respect to the number of bidders n in affiliated private-value models of first-price sealed-bid auctions and prove the existence of a large class of such models in which the equilibrium bid function is not increasing in n. We moreover decompose the effect of a change in n on the bid level into a competition effect and an affiliation effect. ...
