The transparency is in the fused image not the monocular image Grove, Brooks, Anderson, and Gillam dispute our claim that metric depth can be produced by images that generate an impression of transparency in the absence of conventional binocular disparity. They replicate our finding that our ÔtransparencyÕ stimulus produces the same depth as that produced by a disparity depth probe over a wider...

An advisory committee with common values and asymmetric information provides a recommendation to a decision maker facing a binary choice. We investigate the effect of a transparency requirement—requiring committee members’ actions to be observable—on the committee’s ability to influence the decision maker. We show that unless the preferences of the committee and decision maker are sufficiently ...

We show real effects of financial reporting transparency on the domestic banking sector. Transparent financial reporting facilitates non-financial firms’ access to arm’s-length financing from external capital markets and foreign banks. This diminishes non-financial firms’ reliance on domestic banks for their financial services. Domestic banks thus face increased competition from the alternate p...

We explore how doctors, psychotherapists and counsellors in the U.K. react to regulatory transparency, drawing on qualitative research involving 51 semi-structured interviews conducted during 2008-10. We use the concept of 'reactivity mechanisms' (Espeland & Sauder, 2007) to explain how regulatory transparency disrupts practices through simplifying and decontextualizing them, altering practitio...

On their own, however, transparency and representationalism do not suffice to establish externalism. Hence we should hesitate to dismiss phenomenal internalism, a view shared by many generations of competent philosophers. Rather, we should ke...

Visual concealment of important objects and information by hands or tools can make many tasks more difficult. To alleviate this problem, hands and tools can be made partially transparent, allowing users to see their tools and work area simultaneously. This paper describes our experience with a system that can control the level of transparency of hands, tools and objects. We describe how users p...

We show real effects in the banking sector that emanate from financial reporting transparency in the industrial sector. Prior research documents that transparency improves industrial firms’ access to arm’s-length financing via capital markets. We posit that this diminished reliance on banks increases competition in banks’ product markets, and forces them to offset their lost rents by (i) taking...
