In this method for clinical measurement of /32-microglobulin, a 10 g/L agarose gel containing anti-/32-microglobulin is used, with subsequent staining with Coomassie Blue. Although the method is slow (requiring 30 h), it is inexpensive, reliable, and accurate over the range of ito 10 mg/L, and is useful in the determination of f32-microglobulin in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. A modified proce...

External capital inflow on a massive scale into the emerging market economies is a very significant phenomenon of recent years. Making distinctions between direct investment, real and financial, and portfolio investment and incorporating crowding in or crowding out effects we derive some results about the impact of higher inflow on output, investment and the exchange rare. A formula is suggeste...

This paper investigates currency and financial crises in an optimizing general equilibrium model. It is shown that a rise in current and expected future budget deficits generates a real exchange rate appreciation and a decumulation of external assets, leading up to a currency crisis when foreign reserves approximate a critical level. Strong empirical support for our model is obtained by a probi...

Using a long dataset on openness and productivity this paper tests the influence of openness on TFP growth and per capita growth since 1870 for 16 industrialized countries. It is shown, in simple regressions, that growth is by and large independent of openness. However, once the interaction between openness and foreign knowledge is allowed for, productivity is positively affected by openness. J...

We study the dynamics linking monetary policy with bank leverage and show that adjustments in leverage act as the linchpin in the monetary transmission mechanism that works through uctuations in risk-taking. Motivated by the evidence, we formulate a model of the “risk-taking channel” of monetary policy in the international context that rests on the feedback loop between increased leverage of gl...

This paper investigates the e¤ects of replacing the consumer price index (CPI) with the wholesale price index (WPI) in the cointegrating international parity relationships found by Juselius and MacDonald (2000). Our empirical analysis outstandingly produced results similar to the ones obtained by Juselius and MacDonald, suggesting that the cointegration relationships in the international parity...

We introduce the study of frames and equiangular lines in classical geometries over finite fields. After developing basic theory, we give several examples demonstrate field analogs tight (ETFs) produced by modular difference sets, translation modulation operators. Using latter, prove that Gerzon's bound is attained each unitary geometry dimension d=22l+1 F32. also investigate interactions betwe...
