Mediators in the architecture of future information systems
- IEEE COMPUTER
, 1992
"... The installation of high-speed networks using optical fiber and high bandwidth messsage forwarding gateways is changing the physical capabilities of information systems. These capabilities must be complemented with corresponding software systems advances to obtain a real benefit. Without smart softw ..."

Why there are complementary learning systems in the hippocampus and neocortex: insights from the successes and failures of connectionist models of learning and memory
, 1995
"... Damage to the hippocampal system disrupts recent memory but leaves remote memory intact. The account presented here suggests that memories are first stored via synaptic changes in the hippocampal system, that these changes support reinstatement of recent memories in the neocortex, that neocortical s ..."

The Great Reversals: The Politics of Financial Development in the Twentieth Century
- JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL ECONOMICS
, 2003
"... The state of development of the financial sector does not change monotonically over time. In particular, by most measures, countries were more financially developed in 1913 than in 1980 and only recently have they surpassed their 1913 levels. To explain these changes, we propose an interest group ..."

Empirical exchange rate models of the Seventies: do they fit out of sample?
- JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS

Using Daily Stock Returns: The Case of Event Studies
- Journal of Financial Economics
, 1985
"... This paper examines properties of daily stock returns and how the particular characteristics of these data affect event study methodologies. Daily data generally present few difficulties for event studies. Standard procedures are typically well-specified even when special daily data characteris-tics ..."

-tics are ignored. However, recognition of autocorrelation in daily excess returns and changes in their variance conditional on an event can sometimes be advantageous. In addition, tests ignoring cross-sectional dependence can be well-specified and have higher power than tests which account for potential dependence
