Computerisation of the Icelandic State and Municipalities: 1964 to 1985

The paper relates how some key IT applications were developed in Iceland following the introduction of the first computers in 1964. The key applications treated are the National Register of Persons, real estate assessment, financial systems, centralised processing of bank checks, fish stock abundance computations, IT in fish processing plants, the control of hydroelectric power stations, and th...

We present constraints on the values of Ωm, n, σ8, obtained from measurements of the Xray luminosity function of galaxy clusters as compiled in EMSS, RDCS and BCS galaxy cluster samples. The values obtained Ωm = 0.25+0.15 −0.05, n = −1 +0.05 −0.05, and σ8 = 0.8 +0.1 −0.1 are in agreement with WMAP data. We then put constraints on the quoted parameters and the dark-energy equation-of-state param...

Elections , Capital Flows , and Politico Economic Equilibria

We study an open economy where a pro labor and a pro business candidate compete in an election. The winner chooses taxes, which affect investment returns. Electoral outcomes depend on the size of the foreign debt, but the debt itself reflects expectations about the election. The resulting interaction is novel and has several implications. Elections are associated with increased volatility. Poli...
