Discount Rates for Long-Term Projects: The Cost of Capital and Social Discount Rate Compared [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014 Research on the cost of capital and on the social discount rate (SDR) has developed largely along separate paths. This paper offers an overview and comparison of both concepts. The consumption-based theory of discount rates is common to both, but there are striking differences in how the cost of capital and SDR are estimated.

Historical Foundation and Practical Guideline for Ferroelectric Switching Kinetic Studies
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The P and U pulses in the conventional PUND measurements are not identical because of the interplay between switching current and the measurement circuit components. This circuit effect can lead to a shift in polarization transients and misinterpreted physics in the switching kinetics.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Thioketal (TK) polymers are promising biomaterials due to their selective biodegradation by reactive oxygen species (ROS), but they respond slowly to physiologic doses of ROS. Here, the TK bond's pendant groups are modified to enhance the degradation of TK‐based implants both in vitro and in vivo.

Country Risk, Foreign Borrowing and the Social Discount Rate in an Open Developing Economy [PDF]
Most discussions on the social rate of discount have assumed that the economy under consideration is isolated from the rest of the world, and that there are no capital movements.
