House Prices, Borrowing Constraints, and Monetary Policy in the Business Cycle

by Matteo Iacoviello , 2002
"... I develop a general equilibrium model with sticky prices, credit constraints, nominal loans and asset prices. Changes in asset prices modify agents ’ borrowing capacity through collateral value; changes in nominal prices affect real repayments through debt deflation. Monetary policy shocks move asse ..."

, debt indexation and household and firm leverage in the propagation mechanism. Finally, I find that monetary policy should not target asset prices as a means of reducing output and inflation volatility.

Market meltdown and propagation mechanism of contagion

by Dilip K. Ghosh, Dipasri Ghosh, Dilip K. Ghosh, Dipasri Ghosh - Int’l Journal of Banking and Finance , 2010
"... World economy came on a tailspin because of market meltdown and the propagation of contagion triggered by recession, starting mostly from the US economy. This work highlights the grim developments in the nancial sectors and the real sectors world-wide, and then an attempt is made to highlight the p ..."

the propagation mechanism of infective contagion. Theoretical structures of such interconnected are showcased through various analytical vehicles. The indices of sensitivities and dispersions are measured in mathematical terms, and in that sense a new analytical framework is presented. However, empirical

Predicting Internet Network Distance with Coordinates-Based Approaches

by T. S. Eugene Ng, Hui Zhang - In INFOCOM , 2001
"... In this paper, we propose to use coordinates-based mechanisms in a peer-to-peer architecture to predict Internet network distance (i.e. round-trip propagation and transmission delay) . We study two mechanisms. The first is a previously proposed scheme, called the triangulated heuristic, which is bas ..."

Random Early Detection Gateways for Congestion Avoidance.

by Sally Floyd , Van Jacobson - IEEELACM Transactions on Networking, , 1993
"... Abstract-This paper presents Random Early Detection (RED) gateways for congestion avoidance in packet-switched networks. The gateway detects incipient congestion by computing the average queue size. The gateway could notify connections of congestion either by dropping packets arriving at the gatewa ..."

mechanisms that keep throughput high but avemge queue sizes low. In the absence of explicit feedback from the gateway, there are a number of mechanisms that have been proposed for transport-layer protocols to maintain high throughput and low delay in the network. Some of these proposed mechanisms

FARSITE: Federated, Available, and Reliable Storage for an Incompletely Trusted Environment

by Atul Adya, William J. Bolosky, Miguel Castro, Gerald Cermak, Ronnie Chaiken, John R. Douceur, Jon Howell, Jacob R. Lorch, Marvin Theimer, Roger P. Wattenhofer - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 5TH SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION (OSDI , 2002
"... Farsite is a secure, scalable file system that logically functions as a centralized file server but is physically distributed among a set of untrusted computers. Farsite provides file availability and reliability through randomized replicated storage; it ensures the secrecy of file contents with cry ..."

with cryptographic techniques; it maintains the integrity of file and directory data with a Byzantine-fault-tolerant protocol; it is designed to be scalable by using a distributed hint mechanism and delegation certificates for pathname translations; and it achieves good performance by locally caching file data

Network Coding for Large Scale Content Distribution

by Christos Gkantsidis, Pablo Rodriguez Rodriguez
"... We propose a new scheme for content distribution of large files that is based on network coding. With network coding, each node of the distribution network is able to generate and transmit encoded blocks of information. The randomization introduced by the coding process eases the scheduling of bloc ..."

of block propagation, and, thus, makes the distribution more efficient. This is particularly important in large unstructured overlay networks, where the nodes need to make decisions based on local information only. We compare network coding to other schemes that transmit unencoded information (i.e. blocks

Learning-by-doing as a propagation mechanism

by Yongsung Chang, Joao F. Gomes, Frank Schorfheide - American Economic Review , 2002
"... This paper suggests that skill accumulation through past work experience, or “learning-by-doing ” (LBD), can provide an important propagation mechanism in a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model, as the current labor supply affects future productivity. Our econometric analysis uses a Bayesian ..."

Trickle: A Self-Regulating Algorithm for Code Propagation and Maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks

by Philip Levis, Neil Patel, David Culler, Scott Shenker - In Proceedings of the First USENIX/ACM Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI , 2004
"... We present Trickle, an algorithm for propagating and maintaining code updates in wireless sensor networks. Borrowing techniques from the epidemic/gossip, scalable multicast, and wireless broadcast literature, Trickle uses a "polite gossip" policy, where motes periodically broadcast a code ..."
Abstract - Cited by 376 (9 self) - Add to MetaCart
, just enough to stay up to date. We show that with this simple mechanism, Trickle can scale to thousand-fold changes in network density, propagate new code in the order of seconds, and impose a maintenance cost on the order of a few sends an hour.

Wave Propagation Mechanisms for Intra-Chip Communications

by Liping Yan, George W. Hanson
"... Abstract—Fundamental wave propagation mechanisms for intra-chip communications in a multilayered IC chip structure are studied theoretically and numerically. The well-known Green’s function representation in terms of branch cuts (continuous spec-trum), residues (discrete spectrum), and direct source ..."

Recursive Distributed Representations

by Jordan B. Pollack - Artificial Intelligence , 1990
"... A long-standing difficulty for connectionist modeling has been how to represent variable-sized recursive data structures, such as trees and lists, in fixed-width patterns. This paper presents a connectionist architecture which automatically develops compact distributed representations for such compo ..."
Abstract - Cited by 414 (9 self) - Add to MetaCart
for such compositional structures, as well as efficient accessing mechanisms for them. Patterns which stand for the internal nodes of fixed-valence trees are devised through the recursive use of back-propagation on three-layer autoassociative encoder networks. The resulting representations are novel
