Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Emulsion separation remains a persistent challenge in chemical and process industries due to the metastable nature of dispersed droplets. In gravity separators, the overall separation rate is governed by the formation of a densely packed zone (DPZ) of deforming and coalescing droplets that mediates between the dispersed and continuous phases ...

Asymptotically Optimal Smoothing with Arch Models [PDF]
Econometrica, 1996 Summary: Suppose an observed time series is generated by a stochastic volatility model -- i.e., there is an unobservable state variable controlling the volatility of the innovations in the series. As shown by the author [J. Econom. 52, No. 1/2, 61-90 (1992; Zbl 0761.62169)], and the author and \textit{D. P. Foster} [Econometrica 62, No.

Asymptotic Optimality of Full Cross-validation for Selecting Linear Regression Models [PDF]
, 2006 For the problem of model selection, full cross-validation has been proposed as alternative criterion to the traditional cross-validation, particularly in cases where the latter one is not well defined.
