Why rooting fails
I explore the origins of the unphysical predictions from rooted staggered fermion algorithms. Before rooting, the exact chiral symmetry of staggered fermions is a flavored symmetry among the four "tastes." The rooting procedure averages over tastes of different chiralities. This averaging forbids the appearance of the correct 't Hooft vertex for the target theory.
متن کاملWhy Constructive Relativity Fails
Constructivists, such as Harvey Brown, urge that the geometries of Newtonian and special relativistic spacetimes result from the properties of matter. Whatever this may mean, it commits constructivists to the claim that these spacetime geometries can be inferred from the properties of matter without recourse to spatiotemporal presumptions or with few of them. I argue that the construction proje...
متن کاملForeign aid and taxation, revisited∗
Existing research into the relationship between foreign aid and taxation in recipient countries has both conceptual and econometric failings. Empirical results based upon observed tax revenues conflate the effect of aid upon tax structures with the effect upon flows of taxable economic activity, most notably the level of imports. The use of variables normalized by GDP is also likely to generate...
متن کاملForeign Aid and Enlightened Leaders
To study whether foreign aid fuels personal, regional and ethnic favoritism, we use satellite data on nighttime light for any region in any aid-recipient country, and we determine for each year and each country the region in which the current political leader was born. Having a panel with 22,850 regions in 91 aid recipient countries with yearly observations from 1992 to 2005, we compare the eff...
متن کاملMacroeconomic Issues in Foreign Aid
The macroeconomic rationale for aid relates to its ability to supplement savings, foreign exchange and government revenue, thus contributing to growth. This processes presumes a simple Harrod-Domar context in which growth is driven by physical capital formation. However, the macroeconomic reality of aid is more complicated. Three areas of complication are discussed: (i) the effects of aid on fi...
