Public finance and individual preferences over globalization strategies. Economics and Politics. Forthcoming

by Gordon H. Hanson, Kenneth Scheve, Matthew, J. Slaughter , 2005
"... Do preferences toward globalization strategies vary across publicfinance regimes? In this paper, we use data on individual preferences toward immigration and trade policy to examine how pre-tax and posttax cleavages differ across globalization strategies and state fiscal jurisdictions. High exposure ..."

, consistent with U.S. trade policy having negligible fiscal-policy impacts. Public finance thus appears to shape opinions toward globalization strategies. 1.

A Secure Environment for Untrusted Helper Applications -- Confining the Wily Hacker

by Ian Goldberg, David Wagner, Randi Thomas, Eric A. Brewer
"... Many popular programs, such as Netscape, use untrusted helper applications to process data from the network. Unfortunately, the unauthenticated network data they interpret could well have been created by an adversary, and the helper applications are usually too complex to be bug-free. This raises si ..."

via the Solaris process tracing facility. This enabled us to build a simple, clean, user-mode implementation of as ecure environment for untrusted helper applications. Our implementation has negligible performance impact, and can protect pre-existing applications.

Scalable TCP: Improving Performance in Highspeed Wide Area Networks

by Tom Kelly - ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review , 2002
"... TCP congestion control can perform badly in highspeed wide area networks because of its slow response with large congestion windows. The challenge for any alternative protocol is to better utilize networks with high bandwidth-delay products in a simple and robust manner without interacting badly wit ..."

of Scalable TCP would have negligible impact on existing network traffic at the same time as improving bulk transfer performance in highspeed wide area networks.

Pipeline gating: speculation control for energy reduction

by Srilatha Manne - In Proceedings of the 25th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture , 1998
"... Branch prediction has enabled microprocessors to increase instruction level parallelism (ILP) by allowing programs to speculatively execute beyond control boundaries. Although speculative execution is essential for increasing the instructions per cycle (IPC), it does come at a cost. A large amount o ..."

impacting performance. In particular, we introduce a hardware mechanism called pipeline gating to control rampant speculation in the pipeline. We present inexpensive mechanisms for determining when a branch is likely to mispredict, and for stopping wrong-path instructions from entering the pipeline. Results

Cache Decay: Exploiting Generational Behavior to Reduce Cache Leakage Power

by Stefanos Kaxiras, Zhigang Hu, Margaret Martonosi - in Proceedings of the 28th International Symposium on Computer Architecture , 2001
"... Power dissipation is increasingly important in CPUs ranging from those intended for mobile use, all the way up to highperformance processors for high-end servers. While the bulk of the power dissipated is dynamic switching power, leakage power is also beginning to be a concern. Chipmakers expect tha ..."

Reassessing Discretionary Fiscal Policy

by John B. Taylor - JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES, 14(3): 21–36 , 2000
"... Recent changes in policy research and in policy-making call for a reassessment of countercyclical fiscal policy. Such a reassesment indicates that countercyclical fiscal policy should focus on the automatic stabilizers rather than discretionary actions. Monetary policy has been reacting more system ..."

It is unlikely that discretionary countercyclical fiscal policy could improve things, even if there were less uncertainty about fiscal impacts. A discretionary countercyclcal fiscal

Optimal simple and implementable monetary and fiscal rules

by Stephanie Schmitt-Grohé, Martín Uribe , 2004
"... The goal of this paper is to compute optimal monetary and fiscal policy rules in a real business cycle model augmented with sticky prices, a demand for money, taxation, and stochastic government consumption. We consider simple policy rules whereby the nominal interest rate is set as a function of ou ..."

Fiscal policy, banks and the financial crisis

by R Kollmann , M Ratto , W Roeger , J In't Veld , Marco Ratto , Werner Roeger , Jan In't Veld - Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control , 2012
"... This paper studies the effectiveness of Euro Area (EA) fiscal policy, during the recent financial crisis, using an estimated New Keynesian model with a bank. A key dimension of policy in the crisis was massive government support for banks-that dimension has so far received little attention in the m ..."

Monetary and Fiscal Policy Switching

by Troy Davig, Eric M. Leeper, Hess Chung - Journal of Money, Credit and Banking , 2007
"... Abstract. A growing body of evidence finds that policy reaction functions vary substantially over different periods in the United States. This paper explores how moving to an environment in which monetary and fiscal regimes evolve according to a Markov process can change the impacts of policy shocks ..."
