Monetary Policy Rules and Macroeconomic Stability: Evidence and Some Theory

by Richard Clarida, Mark Gertler - Journal of Economics , 2000
"... We estimate a forward-looking monetary policy reaction function for the postwar United States economy, before and after Volcker’s appointment as Fed Chairman in 1979. Our results point to substantial differences in the estimated rule across periods. In particular, interest rate policy in the Volcker ..."

Stability properties of constrained queueing systems and scheduling policies for maximum throughput in multihop radio networks

by Ros Tassiulas, Anthony Ephremides - IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control , 1992
"... Abstruct-The stability of a queueing network with interdependent servers is considered. The dependency of servers is described by the definition of their subsets that can be activated simultaneously. Multihop packet radio networks (PRN’s) provide a motivation for the consideration of this system. We ..."

. We study the problem of scheduling the server activation under the constraints imposed by the dependency among them. The performance criterion of a scheduling policy m is its throughput that is characterized by its stability region C,, that is, the set of vectors of arrival rates for which the system

Lattice-Based Access Control Models

by Ravi S. Sandhu , 1993
"... The objective of this article is to give a tutorial on lattice-based access control models for computer security. The paper begins with a review of Denning's axioms for information flow policies, which provide a theoretical foundation for these models. The structure of security labels in the ..."

in the military and government sectors, and the resulting lattice is discussed. This is followed by a review of the Bell-LaPadula model, which enforces information flow policies by means of its simple-security and *-properties. It is noted that information flow through covert channels is beyond the scope

A General Theory of Equilibrium Selection in Games.

by References Harsanyi , J C Seleten , R , 1988
"... Abstract This paper presents a Downsian model of political competition in which parties have incomplete but richer information than voters on policy effects. Each party can observe a private signal of the policy effects, while voters cannot. In this setting, voters infer the policy effects from the ..."

Implications of rational inattention

by Christopher A. Sims - JOURNAL OF MONETARY ECONOMICS , 2002
"... A constraint that actions can depend on observations only through a communication channel with finite Shannon capacity is shown to be able to play a role very similar to that of a signal extraction problem or an adjustment cost in standard control problems. The resulting theory looks enough like fa ..."

Coverage Control for Mobile Sensing Networks

by Jorge Cortes, Sonia Martínez, Timur Karatas, Francesco Bullo , 2002
"... This paper presents control and coordination algorithms for groups of vehicles. The focus is on autonomous vehicle networks performing distributed sensing tasks where each vehicle plays the role of a mobile tunable sensor. The paper proposes gradient descent algorithms for a class of utility functio ..."

RCV1: A new benchmark collection for text categorization research

by David D. Lewis, Yiming Yang, Tony G. Rose, Fan Li - JOURNAL OF MACHINE LEARNING RESEARCH , 2004
"... Reuters Corpus Volume I (RCV1) is an archive of over 800,000 manually categorized newswire stories recently made available by Reuters, Ltd. for research purposes. Use of this data for research on text categorization requires a detailed understanding of the real world constraints under which the data ..."

Drawing on interviews with Reuters personnel and access to Reuters documentation, we describe the coding policy and quality control procedures used in producing the RCV1 data, the intended semantics of the hierarchical category taxonomies, and the corrections necessary to remove

Job Creation and Destruction

by J. C. Haltiwanger, S. Schuh , 1996
"... With unemployment at historically high levels in many OECD countries, increased job creation has risen to the top of the policy agenda for many western governments-but how can this be achieved? The importance of job creation (and destruction) in an economy cannot be overstated. Labour is organized a ..."

Does Compulsory School Attendance Affect Schooling and Earnings?

by Joshua D. Angrist, Alan B. Krueger , 1990
"... This paper presents evidence showing that individuals' season of birth is related to their educational attainment because of the combined effects of school start age policy and compulsory school attendance laws. In most school districts, individuals born in the beginning of the year start sc ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

A number of special features of the model are discussed (including its use as a basis for the diagnosis of jobs and the evaluation of job redesign projects), and the model is compared to other theories of job design. Work redesign is becoming
