This paper presents a cross country empirical investigation of impacts of skilled labor emigration on sending country’s institutional development. Based on Albert Hirschman’s “Exit and Voice” model, we analyze different channels through which emigration can affect institutions; using Djankov et al.’s “Institutional Possibility Frontier” framework, we assess emigration’s heterogeneous effects on...

Interpretation of a new electron-density map at 3.25-A resolution has led to a somewhat revised model for the free radical (semiquinone) structure of flavodoxin from Clostridium MP. Although the general conformation of the molecule is very similar to that of oxidized Desulfovibrio vulgaris flavodoxin, flavin mononucleotide-protein interactions are not identical in the two flavodoxins. In the Cl...

Many absorption spectroscopy experiments can be regarded as situations Lecture 10 10/22/09 continued from N10 in which a system is subject to an additional term in its Hamiltonian that represents interaction of an external field with the system. For example, one of the main ways in which electromagnetic radiation interacts with matter is through a term in the Hamiltonian that is of the form −E(...

The paper tests the proposition that money generates value in trade. It examines the data for 5,746 Russian companies for 1997 and finds that money accounts for 24.6 percent of their value-added. The functional form of the return on money in trade is determined to be positive and marginally declining. The paper imputes that Russian GDP lost 8.1 percent in 1997 because of diminished use of money...

Average postwar expansions are twice as long as prewar expansions, and contractions are one-half as long. This paper investigates three possible explanations. The first explanation is that shocks to the economy have been smaller in the postwar period. The second explanation is that the composition of output has shifted from very cyclical sectors to less cyclical sectors. The third explanation i...

New particle formation (NPF) is the dominant contributor to total number concentration and plays an important role in cloud condensation nuclei budget. Airborne data from Aerosol Cloud meTeorology Interactions oVer western ATlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE) are used address seasonal NPF statistics factors related around clouds. Higher ratios of concentrations greater than 3 versus 10 nm (N3/N10) we...
