Towards a Theory of Trade Finance [PDF]
Cross border transactions are conducted using diffierent payment contracts, the usage of which varies across countries and over time. In this paper I build a model that can explain this observation and study implications from this for international trade.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An autologous whole‐tumor‐cell vaccine (rWTC‐MBTA) is evaluated in murine CNS lymphoma. Subcutaneous vaccination activates dendritic cells, broadens T‐cell priming, and drives lymphocyte trafficking to brain tumors, producing durable tumor control. Longitudinal bioluminescence and adoptive‐transfer assays verify CNS engagement. Combination with anti‐PD‐

Can International Policy Coordination Really Be Counterproductive? [PDF]
This paper shows that international policy coordination is not counterproductive in a world where the incentive to run beggar-thy-neighbor policies internationally arises from the inefficiency that characterizes, within each country, the interaction ...

Atomistic Understanding of 2D Monatomic Phase‐Change Material for Non‐Volatile Optical Applications
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Antimony is a promising monatomic phase‐change material. Scaling down the film thickness is necessary to prolong the amorphous‐state lifetime, but it alters the optical properties. The combined computational and experimental study shows that, as thickness decreases, the extinction coefficient and optical contrast are reduced in the near‐infrared ...

International Lessons for the Property Price Boom in South Africa [PDF]
South Africa appears to share some of the characteristics (property price boom, easing of monetary policy, strong domestic demand growth) of asset price booms in industrial countries that were often followed by a period of weak growth.

PEDOT:PSS—A Key Material for Bioelectronics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.PEDOT:PSS ‐ Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate ‐ is typically processed from water dispersions to form multifunctional and multidimensional constructs with tunable electronic and ionic conductivity. Throught processing engineering, PEDOT:PSS is intergrated in bioelectronic devices that operate efficiently in physiological conditions
