Elasticity Optimism [PDF]

open access: possibleSSRN Electronic Journal, 2008
On average, estimates of trade elasticities are smaller in aggregate data than at sector level. This is an artifact of aggregation. Estimations performed on aggregate data constrain sector elasticities to homogeneity, which creates a heterogeneity bias. The paper shows such a bias exists in two prominent approaches used to estimate elasticities, which

Trade Elasticities [PDF]

open access: possibleReview of International Economics, 2016
AbstractConventional aggregate trade elasticity estimates hardly vary across countries. We introduce an aggregate elasticity that is implied by theory: It is the value that equates the welfare gains from trade as implied by one‐ and multi‐sector versions of the model in Arkolakis et al. (American Economic Review, 102 (2012):94–130). These estimates are

Elasticities. Elasticities of substitution [PDF]

open access: possible, 1991
• When f is a utility function, and x and y are goods, R yx is called the marginal rate of substitution (abbreviated MRS).

The elasticity of elasticity

Zeitschrift für angewandte Mathematik und Physik, 2006
In this note we assert that the usual interpretation of what one means by “elasticity” is much too insular and illustrates our thesis by introducing implicit constitutive theories that can describe the non-dissipative response of solids. There is another important aspect to the introduction of such an implicit approach to the non-dissipative response ...

Scattering of elastic waves by an elastic sphere

International Journal of Engineering Science, 1980
Abstract The problem of scattering of plane compressional wave by an elastic sphere embedded in an isotropic elastic medium of different material properties is solved. Approximate formulas are derived for the displacement field, stress tensor, stress intensity factors, far-field amplitudes and the scattering cross-section. It is assumed that the wave

Brain Tissue Elasticity and CSF Elastance

Neurological Research, 1989
In the analysis of the pressure-volume relationship of the intracranial system, the concept of brain elastance, sometimes called tissue elastance or CSF elastance, is often used. It is generally designated as Ecsf and is calculated as the slope of the pressure-volume curve of the system.

On the vibration of an elastic plate on an elastic foundation

Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1967
This paper is a study of the vibration of an elastic plate under a time-harmonic point force. The plate is infinite in extent and rests on an elastic foundation. This study is made on the basis of the improved (Timoshenko) plate theory. The mathematical problem is to seek a fundamental solution of the time-reduced plate equation of the improved plate ...

Elastic Transactions

Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, 2009
This paper presents elastic transactions, an appealing alternative to traditional transactions, in particular to implement search structures in shared memory multicore architectures. Upon conflict detection, an elastic transaction might drop what it did so far within a separate transaction that immediately commits, and resume its computation within a ...
