How Low Business Tax Rates Attract Multinational Headquarters: Municipality-Level Evidence from Germany [PDF]
Most existing empirical evidence on the impact of profit taxation on multinational firm activity is based on cross-country data. One major drawback of such data is that countries differ not only with regard to taxes but along other dimensions which might

Central Bank Independence: A Free Lunch?
IMF Working Papers, 1996 This paper extends the analysis of central bank independence to a model in which there is more than one policymaker. It shows that the degree of central bank independence as generally defined in the existing theoretical literature is only one of the influences on macroeconomic performance.

Development of Nanoflare Nanosensors for Monitoring Cellular Insulin mRNA in Beta Cells and Islets
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This study presents the design and application of In2‐NF probes for detecting insulin mRNA in beta cells and islets. Using spherical nucleic acid‐coated gold nanoparticles, the probes offer strong fluorescent signals upon hybridization. Their performance is validated across 2D and 3D cultures and rat islets, demonstrating sensitive, real‐time mRNA ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Parallel wiring of bioelectrochemical devices with conventional generators unexpectedly boosts output. A biophotovoltaic paired with a solar cell delivers up to 50% more power at low loads than their separate contributions; a plant microbial fuel cell shows similar current gains.

Central bank independence and the Westminster model
West European Politics, 1994 The article deals with and traces the current emergence of a ‘Continental European’ model of central bank independence in several European countries as well as in the Maastricht Treaty (modelled along the lines of the Bundesbank's constitution) and juxtaposes this with outright rejection of central bank independence in the UK. It is then asked why this

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Whispering‐gallery‐mode microresonators with sharp resonant peaks enable photonic barcoding. Similar to a chameleon, a rare‐earth‐free microcavity with π‐conjugated PAHs enables visibleto‐near infrared color generation from a single microbead. The unique resonat emission (spectral barcode) can be dynamically transformed via excitation wavelength change,

Emerging East-West collaborative networks: An appraisal [PDF]
Although an extensive amount of literature reviews emerging patterns of east-west co-operation, it is not easy to grasp the state of the art. Too many of the books, articles and papers tend to mark the trees rather than to map the forest.

Legal Minimum Wages and the Wages of Formal and Informal Sector Workers in Costa Rica [PDF]
The classic dual economy models of developing countries hold minimum wages (among other institutions) accountable for persistent dualism. They note that applying or enforcing minimum wage laws in only one sector of the economy will create wage ...
