Building a Potemkin village in occupied China: Japan's wartime system of linked trade, 1939–43
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract The paper discusses the novel but little‐known exchange rate system of Japanese‐occupied North China during the Second Sino‐Japanese War, in which exporters were given the right to import in the form of a piece of yellow paper, which could be sold in the secondary market.

Symbolic and User-friendly Geometric Algebra Routines ( SUGAR ) for Computations in Matlab
ACM Transactions on Mathematical SoftwareGeometric Algebra (GA) provides a unified, compact mathematical framework for geometric computing, simplifying relations typically handled with more complex tools like matrix multiplication. In fields like robotics, GA replaces conventional coordinate-based approaches with the multiplication of special elements called rotors, offering greater ...

To Grandmother's House We Go: Informal Childcare and Female Labor Mobility
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We document how childcare costs and the location of extended family influence the labor supply and mobility of US women. Women return to their home locations immediately before fertility events, suggesting that informal childcare needs may motivate home migration. Women who live near their parents have lower child earnings penalties.

A Comparative Review of Specification Tests for Diffusion Models
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Diffusion models play an essential role in modelling continuous‐time stochastic processes in the financial field. Therefore, several proposals have been developed in the last decades to test the specification of stochastic differential equations.

The Role of Dice in the Emergence of the Probability Calculus
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary The early development of the probability calculus was clearly influenced by the roll of dice. However, while dice have been cast since time immemorial, documented calculations on the frequency of various dice throws date back only to the mid‐13th century.

A Non‐Parametric Framework for Correlation Functions on Product Metric Spaces
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary We propose a non‐parametric framework for analysing data defined over products of metric spaces, a versatile class encountered in various fields. This framework accommodates non‐stationarity and seasonality and is applicable to both local and global domains, such as the Earth's surface, as well as domains evolving over linear time or time ...

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Laws play some role in explanations: at the very least, they somehow connect what is explained, or the explanandum, to what explains, or the explanans. Thus, thermodynamical laws connect the match's being struck and its lightning, so that the former causes the latter; and laws about set formation connect Socrates' existence with {Socrates}'s ...

Symbolic Algebraic Discrete Systems : Theory and Computation
, 1995 Discrete systems and properties of these are defined at a behavioral level independently of the actual representation. Hence we can use any representation that is useful for our purposes. Ultimately the representation is some form of relation. For analysis and design computations on discrete systems it is crucial that we can manipulate fairly complex ...
