Richard Tobin HCRC Language Technology Group 2 Buccleuch Place Edinburgh, Scotland EH8 9LW ABSTRACT This paper describes a standards-based approach to the task of comparing two implements of the W3C XML Schema language: no special-purpose software is required, nor any common API for accessing the results of schema validity assessment. A combination of XSLT transformations and appeal to an XML m...

Extending Ireland’s (1994) model, this paper analyzes an international economy where cash or credit can be used for payment. Foreign trade credit is more costly than its domestic analog. A depreciation of the real exchange rate is associated with an external surplus and a reduced share of imports purchased with credit. Economic growth slows when foreign trade credit becomes the predominant mean...

When banks extend loans to each other, they generate a negative externality in the form of systemic risk. They create a network of interbank exposures by which they expose other banks to potential insolvency cascades. In this paper, we show how a regulator can use information about the financial network to devise a transactionspecific tax based on a network centrality measure that captures syst...

Elastomeric materials experience stretch-induced softening as evidenced by a pre-stretched material exhibiting a signi1cantly more compliant response than that of the virgin material. In this paper, we propose a fully three-dimensional constitutive model for the observed softening of the stress–strain behavior. The model adopts the Mullins and Tobin concept of an evolution in the underlying har...
