Inequality and catching-up under decreasing marginal impatience
This paper examines how endogenous time preference interacts with inequalities in economic development. We consider two distinct groups of households with intrinsic inequality (e.g., capitalists and workers), and show that (i) under decreasing marginal impatience (DMI), an unequal society may be preferable for poor households than an egalitarian one in

Electron microscopy‐based three‐dimensional subcellular imaging of plant male gametophyte
The Aquilos2 Cryo‐FIB workflows provide practical routes for cryo‐electron tomography and volume imaging in plant structural biology. ABSTRACT Understanding cellular events in three dimensions (3D) is of great importance for the annotation and illustration of biological processes in a contextual way. Imaging techniques based on electron microscopy (EM),

Best Before? Expiring Central Bank Digital Currency and Loss Recovery
Abstract Physical cash enables payments in the absence of electricity or network coverage. Such offline payment functionality promotes the operational resilience and, particularly in developing countries, the accessibility of payments. Central banks are exploring issuing digital cash substitutes with similar offline payment functionality.

Precautionary Saving against Correlation under Risk and Ambiguitya
Abstract This paper considers precautionary saving against the correlation between two risky attributes (wealth and health) and investigates how the correlation affects optimal savings under multivariate preferences. The signs of higher‐order cross‐derivatives play a key role in determining the direction of precautionary saving against such correlation.

Abstract The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is heterogeneous and depends on liquidity, while liquidity is affected by both temporary circumstances and persistent characteristics. Using bank account transaction data and a survey of its account holders, this study aims to distinguish the sources of MPC heterogeneity.
