Stronger at Depth: Jamming Grippers as Deep Sea Sampling Tools.

In this work we experimentally demonstrate (a) that the holding strength of universal jamming grippers increases as a function of the jamming pressure to greater than three atmospheres, and (b) that jamming grippers can be operated in the deep sea in ambient pressures exceeding one hundred atmospheres, where such high jamming pressures can be readily achieved. Laboratory experiments in a pressu...

Stronger Utility

Empirical research often requires a method how to convert a deterministic economic theory into an econometric model. A popular method is to add a random error term on the utility scale. This method, however, violates stochastic dominance. A modification of this method is proposed to avoid violations of dominance. The modified model compares favorably to other existing models in terms of goodnes...

Stronger Instruments By Design

Natural experiments provide one means for credibly estimating causal effects with observational data. The instrumental variable (IV) method is often applied to natural experiment reflecting a belief that combining the power of natural random assignment with an instrumental variable approach will solve many of the problems endemic to observational data. While IV analysis can be quite powerful, t...
