A Continuous Measure of the Joint Distribution of Race and Income Among Neighborhoods
We develop and illustrate a general and innovative method for describing in detail the joint distribution of race and income among neighborhoods when only coarse income data are available.

The Legacy of Policy Inaction in Climate‐Growth Models
ABSTRACT To better understand the structure and core mechanisms of a broad class of climate‐growth models, we study a simplified version of the dynamic integrated model of climate and the economy (DICE) through the lens of growth theory. We analytically show that this model features a continuum of saddle‐point stable steady states.

Erythrocyte ‘Feierzeit’ reaction: Novel filamentous and vesicular response to n‐butyl acetate
Abstract Human erythrocytes (red blood cells; RBCs) undergo spontaneous disassembly after several hours of exposure to n‐butyl acetate (nBA). Images of the morphological changes were captured in time‐lapse sequences using differential interference contrast (DIC) light microscopy.

How do Test Scores at the Ceiling Affect Value-Added Estimates?
Some educators are concerned that students with test scores at top of the test score distribution will negatively affect the value-added estimates of teachers of those students.

Leader‐Follower Dynamics in Shareholder Activism
ABSTRACT We propose a theory of coordination and influence among blockholders. Privately informed activists time their trades in sequence to lower acquisition costs, prompting a strategic use of order flows: leader activists create trading gains for their followers, ultimately influencing their willingness to bear greater value‐enhancing intervention ...

RPM and Vertical Integration With Upstream Competition and Noncontractible Efforts
ABSTRACT We study RPM and vertical integration in a common agency setting with two differentiated manufacturers and one retailer, where consumer demand depends on both the manufacturers' and retailer's noncontractible efforts. Under vertical separation, the adoption of maximum RPM by both manufacturers is an equilibrium and intensifies competition ...

ABSTRACT This study examines the extent to which demographic diversity is related to firm survival in the context of new venture teams (NVTs). Further, the study tests insights from the categorization‐elaboration model to examine whether human capital within the NVT moderates the focal relationship.

Analysis of a Mathematical Model of Marital Satisfaction
ABSTRACT A large number of marriages end in divorce. In this paper, we present a model for the emotional state of a couple based on bilinear ordinary differential equations. We study the effect of changes of each individual's self‐emotional state on the couple's state.

ABSTRACT Computational mechanics is inherently complex, as the underlying physical processes evolve in three spatial dimensions and time. Thus, intuitive visualizations in traditional lecture notes or on blackboards are challenging. This motivates the use of animation software to illustrate time‐dependent three‐dimensional phenomena, which complement ...
