Exchange Rate Policy and Trade Performance in Pakistan

Lahore Journal of Economics
The exchange rate is an important tool for enhancing exports in emerging economies. To quantify the role of the exchange rate in determining trade in Pakistan, this paper presents estimates of the elasticities of relative prices, demand, and exchange ...

Adjustment Costs, Firm Responses, and Labor Supply Elasticities: Evidence from Danish Tax Records [PDF]

We show that the effects of taxes on labor supply are shaped by interactions between adjustment costs for workers and hours constraints set by firms. We develop a model in which firms post job offers characterized by an hours requirement and workers pay ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Expenditure elasticities for rural households in the Embo ward, Umbumbulu, KwaZulu-Natal [PDF]

Household consumption patterns were investigated to determine the impact of an income shock on household expenditure and to establish the potential for demand-led growth in a rural area of KwaZulu-Natal.

Patterning the Void: Combining L‐Systems with Archimedean Tessellations as a Perspective for Tissue Engineering Scaffolds

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel multi‐scale scaffold design using L‐fractals arranged in Archimedean tessellations for tissue regeneration. Despite similar porosity, tiles display vastly different tensile responses (1–100 MPa) and deformation modes. In vitro experiments with hMSCs show geometry‐dependent growth and activity. Over 55 000 tile combinations

Heterogeneous Investors and their Changing Demand and Supply Schedules for Individual Common Stocks [PDF]

Using 550 million limit orders submitted in the Korea Stock Exchange, we estimate demand and supply elasticities of heterogeneous investor types and their changes around the Asian financial crisis.

MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION OF A RANDOM COEFFICIENT MEAT DEMAND SYSTEM [PDF]

The paper demonstrates that random coefficient models can be estimated by maximum likelihood if they are specified as generalized least squares models. The paper uses maximum likelihood estimation on a random-coefficient, meat-demand system.

Substrate Stress Relaxation Regulates Cell‐Mediated Assembly of Extracellular Matrix

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Silicone‐based viscoelastic substrates with tunable stress relaxation reveal how matrix mechanics regulates cellular mechanosensing and cell‐mediated matrix remodelling in the stiff regime. High stress relaxation promotes assembly of fibronectin fibril‐like structures, increased nuclear localization of YAP and formation of β1 integrin‐enriched ...

Analyzing per capita food consumption patterns in net food-importing developing countries

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Net food-importing developing countries, which account for 30% of countries globally, and roughly 20% of the global population, must seek to reduce their vulnerabilities in food production trade shocks. This study investigates per capita food consumption

Biomimetic Iridescent Skin: Robust Prototissues Spontaneously Assembled from Photonic Protocells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Uniform nanoparticles are induced to form arrays (photonic crystals) in the cores of biopolymer capsules, endowing these ‘protocells’ with structural color. These protocells are then assembled into large self‐standing objects, i.e., prototissues, with robust mechanical properties as well as iridescent optical properties.
