Buffer stock saving and the life-cycle/permanent income hypothesis
- Quarterly Journal of Economics
, 1997
"... This paper argues that the typical household’s saving is better described by a “bufferstock” version than by the traditional version of the Life Cycle/Permanent Income Hypothesis (LC/PIH) model. Buffer-stock behavior emerges if consumers with important income uncertainty are sufficiently impatient. ..."

. In the traditional model, consumption growth is determined solely by tastes; in contrast, buffer-stock consumers set average consumption growth equal to average labor income growth, regardless of tastes. The model can explain three empirical puzzles: the “consumption/income parallel ” of Carroll and Summers [1991
Consumption Over the Life Cycle
- Econometrica
, 1995
"... This paper employs a synthetic cohort technique and Consumer Expenditure Survey data to construct average age-profiles of consumption and income over the working lives of typical households across different education and occupation groups. Even after controlling for family and cohort effects, ty ..."

Non-oscillatory central differencing for hyperbolic conservation laws
- J. COMPUT. PHYS
, 1990
"... Many of the recently developed high-resolution schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws are based on upwind differencing. The building block of these schemes is the averaging of an approximate Godunov solver; its time consuming part involves the field-by-field decomposition which is required in orde ..."

On-line Fingerprint Verification
- IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
, 1997
"... Abstract—Fingerprint verification is one of the most reliable personal identification methods. However, manual fingerprint verification is so tedious, time-consuming, and expensive that it is incapable of meeting today’s increasing performance requirements. An automatic fingerprint identification sy ..."

Developments in the Measurement of Subjective Well-Being
- Psychological Science.
, 1993
"... F or good reasons, economists have had a long-standing preference for studying peoples' revealed preferences; that is, looking at individuals' actual choices and decisions rather than their stated intentions or subjective reports of likes and dislikes. Yet people often make choices that b ..."

desire loses some of its appeal. Direct reports of subjective well-being may have a useful role in the measurement of consumer preferences and social welfare, if they can be done in a credible way. Indeed, economists have already made much use of subjective well-being data. From 2001 to 2005, more than
Optimal Monetary Policy in a Currency Area
, 2001
"... This paper investigates how monetary policy should be conducted in a two-region, general equilibrium model with monopolistic competition and price stickiness. This framework delivers a simple welfare criterion based on the utility of the consumers that has the usual tradeoff between stabilizing infl ..."

ECOSystem: Managing Energy as a First Class Operating System Resource
, 2002
"... Energy consumption has recently been widely recognized as a major challenge of computer systems design. This paper explores how to support energy as a first-class operating system resource. Energy, because of its global system nature, presents challenges beyond those of conventional resource managem ..."

management. To meet these challenges we propose the Currentcy Model that unifies energy accounting over diverse hardware components and enables fair allocation of available energy among applications. Our particular goal is to extend battery lifetime by limiting the average discharge rate and to share
Powernap: Eliminating server idle power
- In International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS
, 2009
"... Data center power consumption is growing to unprece-dented levels: the EPA estimates U.S. data centers will con-sume 100 billion kilowatt hours annually by 2011. Much of this energy is wasted in idle systems: in typical deployments, server utilization is below 30%, but idle servers still con-sume 60 ..."

Managing Multi-Configurable Hardware via Dynamic Working Set Analysis
- In 29th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture
, 2002

This can lead to inefficiencies both in power and performance for individual programs and during individual phases within the same program. Microarchitectures with multi-configuration units (e.g. caches, pr ..."
