Describing Digital Object Environments in PREMIS

“Digital preservation metadata” is the information that is needed in order to preserve digital objects successfully in the longterm so that they can be deployed in some form in the future. A digital object is not usable without a computing environment in which it can be rendered or executed. Because of this, information that describes the sufficient components of the digital object’s computing ...

Why Stickiness is not Enough to Explain Persistence of Counterintuitive Religious Concepts

Cognitive scientists of religion argue that religious ideas are widespread because they are minimally counterintuitive. Traditional lab studies have found support for a better memory for minimally counterintuitive concepts. This paper presents an in-depth case study of the spread of a counterintuitive religious idea in the real world. It finds that counterintuitiveness alone is not sufficient t...

Price stickiness , inflation , and persistence in real exchange rate fluctuations : cross - country results *

Models that emphasize sticky prices to explain persistent real exchange rate fluctuations predict that such fluctuations should be less persistent in high inflation countries relative to low inflation countries. Cross-country regression results, in general, do not support this implication.  2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Pervasive Stickiness

This paper explores a macroeconomic model of the business cycle in which stickiness of information is a pervasive feature of the environment. Prices, wages, and consumption are all assumed to be set, to some degree, based on outdated information sets. We show that a model with such pervasive stickiness is better at matching some key facts that describe economic fluctuations than is either a ben...
