Government Financial Reporting: A Study of Nested Controversy
Financial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There are two schools of thought on government financial reporting: one emanating from societal values and accountability to citizens; and one based on investment decisions and a business approach. There are staunch proponents of these different perspectives, which are rooted in economic thought and values.

Eternal inflation and a thermodynamic treatment of Einstein's equations
, 2011 International audienceIn pursuing the intriguing resemblance of the Einstein equations to thermodynamic equations, most sharply seen in systems possessing horizons, we suggest that eternal inflation of the stochastic type may be a fruitful phenomenon to ...

Rational Expectations Fools' Bubbles
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We develop a rational, Walrasian model of speculative bubbles inspired by the Kindleberger–Minsky view, which describes bubbles as wave‐like market processes. Touched off by an initial shock, price booms are initially self‐reinforcing but become self‐destructive later when prices surpass fundamental value.

Lyth bound, eternal inflation, and future cosmological missions [PDF]
, 2017 In this paper we provide a new expression for the variation of the inflaton field Δφ during the horizon crossing epoch in the context of single field slow roll inflationary models.

Making predictions in an eternally inflating universe [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1995 Eternally inflating universes can contain large thermalized regions with different values of the constants of Nature and with different density fluctuation spectra. To find the probability for a `typical' observer to detect a certain set of constants, or a certain fluctuation spectrum, one needs to compare the volumes occupied by different types of ...

Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.

How decoherence affects the probability of slow-roll eternal inflation [PDF]
, 2017 Slow-roll inflation can become eternal if the quantum variance of the inflaton field around its slowly rolling classical trajectory is converted into a distribution of classical spacetimes inflating at different rates, and if the variance is large enough

Eternal Higgs inflation and the cosmological constant problem [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate the Higgs potential beyond the Planck scale in the superstring theory, under the assumption that the supersymmetry is broken at the string scale. We identify the Higgs field as a massless state of the string, which is indicated by the fact

Harnessing Star Power: The Distinct Effects of Star Inventors on Radical and Incremental Innovation
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Star inventors are highly valuable resources, offering scarce knowledge and expertise that significantly enhance a firm's innovation performance. Beyond their expertise, what sets star inventors apart is their star status – a role that prescribes them high positions in organizational hierarchy and the power to steer resource allocation within ...
