Do Domestic Firms Benefit from Direct Foreign Investment? Evidence from Venezuela

by Brian J. Aitken, Ann E. Harrison - AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW , 1999
"... Governments often promote inward foreign investment to encourage technology “spillovers” from foreign to domestic firms. Using panel data on Venezuelan plants, we find that foreign equity participation is positively correlated with plant produc-tivity (the “own-plant” effect), but this relationship ..."

Biclustering algorithms for biological data analysis: a survey.

by Sara C Madeira , Arlindo L Oliveira - IEEE/ACM Transactions of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, , 2004
"... Abstract A large number of clustering approaches have been proposed for the analysis of gene expression data obtained from microarray experiments. However, the results of the application of standard clustering methods to genes are limited. These limited results are imposed by the existence of a num ..."

A Contribution to the Empirics of Economic Growth

by N. Gregory Mankiw, David Romer, David N. Weil - Quarterly Journal of Economics , 1992
"... This paper examines whether the Solow growth model is consistent with the international variation in the standard of living. It shows that an augmented Solow model that includes accumulation of human as well as physical capital provides an excellent description of the cross-country data. The paper a ..."

How much should we trust differences-in-differences estimates?

by Marianne Bertrand, Esther Duflo, Sendhil Mullainathan , 2003
"... Most papers that employ Differences-in-Differences estimation (DD) use many years of data and focus on serially correlated outcomes but ignore that the resulting standard errors are inconsistent. To illustrate the severity of this issue, we randomly generate placebo laws in state-level data on femal ..."

A semantics of multiple inheritance

by Luca Cardelli - Information and Computation , 1988
"... There are two major ways of structuring data in programming languages. The first and common one, used for example in Pascal, can be said to derive from standard branches of mathematics. Data is organized as cartesian products (i.e. record types), disjoint sums (i.e. unions or variant types) and func ..."

Using Daily Stock Returns: The Case of Event Studies

by Stephen J. Brown, Jerold B. Warner - 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 ..."

Cluster analysis and display of genome-wide expression patterns’,

by Michael B Eisen , Paul T Spellman , Patrick O Brown , David Botstein - Proc. Natl. Acad. , 1998
"... ABSTRACT A system of cluster analysis for genome-wide expression data from DNA microarray hybridization is described that uses standard statistical algorithms to arrange genes according to similarity in pattern of gene expression. The output is displayed graphically, conveying the clustering and th ..."

Domain names - Implementation and Specification

by P. Mockapetris - RFC-883, USC/Information Sciences Institute , 1983
"... This RFC describes the details of the domain system and protocol, and assumes that the reader is familiar with the concepts discussed in a companion RFC, "Domain Names- Concepts and Facilities " [RFC-1034]. The domain system is a mixture of functions and data types which are an official pr ..."

protocol and functions and data types which are still experimental. Since the domain system is intentionally extensible, new data types and experimental behavior should always be expected in parts of the system beyond the official protocol. The official protocol parts include standard queries, responses

Reality Mining: Sensing Complex Social Systems

by Nathan Eagle, Alex Pentland - J. OF PERSONAL AND UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING , 2005
"... We introduce a system for sensing complex social systems with data collected from one hundred mobile phones over the course of six months. We demonstrate the ability to use standard Bluetooth-enabled mobile telephones to measure information access and use in different contexts, recognize social patt ..."

Language-Based Information-Flow Security

by Andrei Sabelfeld , Andrew C. Myers - IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS , 2003

An end-to-end confidentiality policy might assert that secret input data cannot be inferred by an attacker throug ..."
