Environmental expenditure interactions among OECD countries, 1995-2017
2021
International audience; How do countries respond to other countries when setting the level of their environmental expenditures? Using data from 1995-2017 on a sample of 28 OECD countries, we examine the nature and extent of strategic interactions in environmental expenditures among OECD countries using a spatial Durbin model including economic and political control variables and both economic and spatial weight matrices reflecting several interaction mechanisms. The results show the existence of significant positive spatial dependence in environmental spending suggesting that OECD countries consider their neighbors' behavior when making policy choices related to environmental expenditures. …
Dynamics of female labour force participation in France
2013
International audience; This article formulates and estimates a structural intertemporal model of labour force participation. Relying on theoretical characterizations derived from an economic model of lifetime behaviour, we estimate a dynamic probit model with correlated random effects using longitudinal data to allow for a dynamic structure. The model is applied to a panel of married women drawn from the 1997–2002 French Labour Force surveys in order to represent their participation behaviour. It is estimated by maximum simulated likelihood. Our results show that women’s decisions to go out to work are characterized by significant state dependence, unobserved heterogeneity and negative ser…
Revisiting the Duration Dependence in the US Stock Market Cycles
2022
There is a big controversy among both investment professionals and academics regarding how the termination probability of a market state depends on its age. Using more than two centuries of data on the broad US stock market index, we revisit the duration dependence in bull and bear markets. Our results suggest that the duration dependence for both bull and bear markets is a nonlinear function of the state age. It appears that the duration dependence in bear markets is strictly positive. For 93% of the bull markets, the duration dependence is also positive. Only about 7% of the bull markets, those with the longest durations, do not exhibit positive duration dependence. We also compare a few …
Aggregate uncertainty and sectoral productivity growth: The role of credit constraints
2016
Abstract We show that an increase in aggregate uncertainty—measured by stock market volatility—reduces productivity growth more in industries that depend heavily on external finance. The mechanism at play is that during periods of high uncertainty, firms that are credit constrained switch the composition of investment by reducing productivity-enhancing investment—such as on ICT capital—which is more subject to liquidity risks (Aghion et al., 2010). The effect is larger during recessions, when financing constraints are more likely to be binding, than during expansions. Our statistical method—a difference-in-difference approach using productivity growth of 25 industries from 18 advanced econo…
Band-to-Band and Band-to-Acceptor Photoluminescence Studies in InSe under Pressure
1999
We report on photoluminescence (PL) measurements under pressure on p-type N-doped InSe at 10 K and on n-type Si-doped InSe at room temperature. Low-temperature PL of N-doped InSe is dominated by a band-to-acceptor peak. From the pressure dependence of the ionization energy of the N related shallow acceptor, the pressure change of the hole effective mass is estimated through the Gerlach-Pollmann model for hydrogenic levels in uniaxial crystals and discussed in the framework of a k p model. Room temperature PL in Si-doped InSe is dominated by a band-to-band peak exhibiting a pressure shift in agreement with previous works. This PL peak has been measured up to 7 GPa and a steep reversible decr…
�ber die Abh�ngigkeit des Polarisationsgrades vom Streuwinkel bei Mott-Streuung langsamer Elektronen
1965
The angular dependence of polarizationP(Θ) of electrons elastically scattered by a beam of mercury atoms is measured in a double scattering experiment for electron energies of 0,9; 1,2; and 1,5 keV. The results are compared with theory and found to be in good agreement. Maximum degree of polarization measured isP=0,53±0,10 (electron current 10−12A).
The resistivity and thermopower of amorphous Mg-Zn alloys
1983
The resistivity and thermopower of amorphous Mg-Zn alloys have been computed as a function of temperature and composition. The diffraction model incorporating the dynamical partial structure factors is applied. The effect of the electron mean free path is investigated. The authors find that the resistivity is well described by the model, and that the inclusion of the mean free path does not change the results considerably. In the case of thermopower the diffraction model turns out to be inadequate: it gives a composition dependence which is against the experimental evidence. This suggests that there exists another scattering mechanism, which is not accounted for by the diffraction model. Th…
High‐temperature behavior of impurities and dimensionality of the charge transport in unintentionally and tin‐doped indium selenide
1993
A systematic study of the electron transport and shallow impurity distribution in indium selenide above room temperature or after an annealing process is reported by means of far‐infrared‐absorption and Hall‐effect measurements. Evidences are found for the existence of a large concentration of deep levels (1012–1013 cm−2), related to impurities adsorbed to stacking faults in this material. Above room temperature impurities can migrate from those defect zones and then become shallow in the bulk. The subsequent large increase of 3D electrons can change the dimensionality of the electron transport, which in most cases was 2D. The temperature dependence of the resistivity parallel to the c axis…
Transport properties of nitrogen doped p‐gallium selenide single crystals
1996
Nitrogen doped gallium selenide single crystals are studied through Hall effect and photoluminescence measurements in the temperature ranges from 150 to 700 K and from 30 to 45 K, respectively. The doping effect of nitrogen is established and room temperature resistivities as low as 20 Ω cm are measured. The temperature dependence of the hole concentration can be explained through a single acceptor‐single donor model, the acceptor ionization energy being 210 meV, with a very low compensation rate. The high quality of nitrogen doped GaSe single crystals is confirmed by photoluminescence spectra exhibiting only exciton related peaks. Two phonon scattering mechanisms must be considered in orde…
