Findings and a Possible Explanation
Does official aid pave the road for private foreign investment or does it suffocate private initiative by diverting resources towards unproductive activities? In this paper we explore this question using data for a large number of developing and emerging economies. Controlling for countries‘ institutional environment, we find that, evaluated at the mean, the marginal effect of aid on private fo...
متن کاملA Possible Explanation of Shnoll Effect
Shnoll and collaborators have discovered strange repeating patterns of random fluctuations of physical observables such as the number n of nuclear decays in a given time interval. Periodically occurring peaks for the distribution of the number N(n) of measurements producing n events in a series of measurements as a function of n is observed instead of a single peak. The positions of the peaks a...
متن کاملInterleaving Enhances Learning: A Possible Geometric Explanation
In the traditional approach to learning, if we want students to learn how to solve different types of problems, we first teach them how to solve problems of the first type, then how to solve problems of the second type, etc. It turns out that we can speed up learning if we interleave problems of different types. In particular, it has bene empirically shown that interleaving problems of four dif...
متن کاملDiffuse band shifts: a possible explanation
We discuss the behaviour of broad and narrow diffuse interstellar bands inside the Orion association. The peculiarities, observed in this region, such as enormous weakness of some features as well as wavelength shifts of others suggest that the diffuse band carriers – most probably some sort of complex molecules – accrete onto grain surfaces. It appears that the processes which occur upon accre...
متن کاملA possible fundamental explanation of electroweak unification
Electroweak unification is implied by the local structure theorem of distribution theory applied to the causal interval R = X − Z between two space-time points X and Z . Taking R as generating function, the potentials of the electromagnetic and weak interactions are obtained by applying the causal d’Alembertian operator onR, and both potentials can be given a proper physical interpretation prov...
