A study of the wiggle morphology of HH 211 through numerical simulations

open access: yes, 2016
Recent high-resolution high-sensitivity observations of protostellar jets have shown many to possess deviations to their trajectories. HH 211 is one such example where sub-mm observations with the SMA have revealed a clear reflection-symmetric wiggle ...

Cosmological Density and Power Spectrum from Peculiar Velocities: Nonlinear Corrections and PCA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We allow for nonlinear effects in the likelihood analysis of galaxy peculiar velocities, and obtain ~35%-lower values for the cosmological density parameter Om and the amplitude of mass-density fluctuations.

Social distance and delegation: Does anonymity matter?

open access: yesEconomic Inquiry, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we report on two experimental studies that examine the impact of social distance on delegation and uncover the role of anonymity driving delegation in a principal‐agent setting. Study 1 shows that reducing the social distance makes principals less likely to delegate.

Managed decline: Muddling through with the Sterling (dis)Agreements, 1968–74

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract How do policymakers manage the decline of an international currency? This paper revisits the view that the ‘Sterling Agreements’ of 1968–74 – bilateral contracts between the UK and sterling‐holding governments – marked a successful paradigm shift towards sterling's managed ‘retirement’.

Flexible Contract, Flexible Morale? Microcredit Design and Repayment Discipline

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flexible repayment benefits borrowers, but practitioners fear increased moral hazard. Investigating their concerns requires disentangling repayment choices from repayment capacity, which is typically infeasible in field studies. We use a lab‐in‐the‐field experiment with 645 microcredit borrowers to cleanly identify the effect of repayment ...

Conditionals and KK

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we explore the tension between the KK thesis and an attractive principle concerning the assertability of conditionals. We explore the prospects for defending the KK thesis against the problems posed, and conclude that they are dim.

Text as tape: On the voice in the late prose of Friederike Mayröcker

open access: yesOrbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract For a text to have a voice means to be caught in a paradox: the text obviously does not speak, so what is that tone rising from the pages? Taking hold of a striking ambivalence, this essay examines the relationship between text and voice in the late prose of Austrian poet Friederike Mayröcker.

Non‐Members in a Tight Spot: How Norway Navigated Autonomy in EU Pandemic Management

open access: yesReview of Policy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study offers new insights into how closely integrated non‐member states navigate tensions between autonomy and dependence when urgent policy responses are required within complex supranational frameworks. It does so by exploring how these non‐members exercise their “wriggle room”—a tailored sub‐category of the broader concept of autonomy ...
