in the management literature, in fact little is known about the reasons why "enriched" work sometimes leads to positive outcomes for workers and for their employing organizations.

- Journal of Economic Growth

"... Average incomes of the poorest fifth of society rise proportionately with average incomes. This is a consequence of the strong empirical regularity that the share of income accruing to the bottom quintile does not vary systematically with average income. In this paper we document this empirical regu ..."

We find that several determinants of growth -- such as good rule of law, openness to international trade, and developed financial markets -- have little systematic effect on the share of income that accrues to the bottom quintile. Consequently these factors benefit the poorest fifth

Assisted Execution
, 1998
"... We introduce a new execution paradigm called assisted execution. In this model, a set of auxiliary "assistant" threads, called nanothreads, is attached to each thread of an application. Nanothreads are very lightweight threads which run on the same processor as the main (application) th ..."

. Nanothreads can monitor and reconfigure the underlying hardware, can emulate hardware and can profile applications with little or no interference to improve the program on-line or off-line. We demonstrate the power of assisted execution with an important application, namely data prefetching to fight

Cash-on-Hand and Competing Models of Intertemporal Behavior: New Evidence from the Labor Market
- QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS, FORTHCOMING

Using a search theoretic model, we show that estimates of the relative
