The paper argues that the world economy might experiment inflationary pressures (or restrictive policies aimed at fighting them) when the economic depression triggered by the financial crisis is stabilized. The primary cause is that bad money has been (endogenously) delivered which did not lead to a proportionate increase of real wealth, thereby creating an artificial purchasing power into the ...

This paper investigates the differences in female work experience across Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs). We use retrospective SHARELIFE data to analyse women's history from 1950 1990. provide descriptive evidence that varied CEECs. Furthermore, we argue comparing former provinces of Russian Empire Lithuania Poland provides a natural experiment, allowing us disentangle effect dif...

In the early years of People’s Republic, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had difficulty in establishing control over grain markets. The implementation Unified Purchase and Sale Grain Policy was a significant step toward this end, part broader move collectivization that would lead to Great Leap Forward, making it sensitive topic for research. By focusing on market policies rural Chongqing, researc...

The past decade has witnessed rapid growth in popular protest, alongside an upsurge research on collective action. proliferation of been both productive and fragmenting: We have excellent understanding the many factors that shape participation action, but we lack a framework explains how these fit together.

One of applications proposed for PHELIX is ignition of hot laser sparks for x-ray shadowgraphy and K-shell absorption spectroscopy of heavy-ion-beam targets [1]. In 2004 we started numerical simulation and optimization of laserdriven x-ray backlighter. An emphasis of this study is on efficiency of conversion of the laser pulse energy into hard x-rays. Here we present the computational tools and...

We investigate the origin of the breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation (SER) between diffusivity and viscosity in undercooled melts. A binary Lennard-Jones system, as a model for a metallic melt, is studied by molecular dynamics. A weak breakdown at high temperatures can be understood from the collectivization of motion, seen in the isotope effect. The strong breakdown at lower temperatures...
