The Basics of International Trade: A Classroom Experiment [PDF]
We introduce a simple web-based classroom experiment in which students learn the Ricardian model of international trade. Students are assigned to countries and then make individual production, trade and consumption decisions. The analysis of experimental

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence in Phase‐Separated Nanostructures
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A supramolecular, phase‐separation driven strategy yields charge transfer (CT) complexes from alternating electron‐deficient pyromellitic diimide and electron‐rich 4,5‐dibromoveratrole. The resulting CT complexes self‐assemble into lamellar nanosheets with nanometer‐sized domains that exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) at room ...

Search for pair-produced vector-like quarks with the ATLAS detector
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 The high energy frontier opened by the LHC is allowing us to explore physics scenarios where new physics might lay. The need to go beyond the Standard Model (SM) comes from various unanswered questions such as where does the matter-antimatter asymmetry ...

Novel Functional Materials via 3D Printing by Vat Photopolymerization
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This Perspective systematically analyzes strategies for incorporating functionalities into 3D‐printed materials via Vat Photopolymerization (VP). It explores the spectrum of achievable functionalities in recently reported novel materials—such as conductive, energy‐storing, biodegradable, stimuli‐responsive, self‐healing, shape‐memory, biomaterials, and

Exporting Raises Productivity in Sub-Saharan African Manufacturing Plants [PDF]
Proponents of trade liberalization argue that it will force firms to produce closer to the production possibility frontier and that the frontier will move out faster. In particular, plants that export will achieve a higher productivity level.

Efficiency and Pooling in Western Cape Wine Grape Production [PDF]
This paper uses a stochastic frontier and inefficiency model to test the efficiency of grape production in the Western Cape. The data covers two panels of wine grape farms (34 in Robertson and 36 in Worcester) for 2003 and 2004 and 37 table grape farms ...
