Interest rate co-movements, global factors and the long end of the term spread

2012

The disconnect between rising short and low long interest rates has been a distinctive feature of the 2000s. Both research and policy circles have argued that international forces, such as global monetary policy (e.g. Rogoff, 2006); international business cycles (e.g. Borio and Filardo, 2007); or a global savings glut (e.g Bernanke, 2005) may be responsible. In this paper, we employ recent advances in panel data econometrics to document the disconnect and link it explicitly to the existence of a global latent factor that dominates the long end of the term spread for the recent period; the saving glut story emerges as the most likely contender for the global factor.

Using store level scanner data to improve category management decisions: Developing positioning maps

2009

This paper provides evidence of the usefulness of aggregated point-of-sale scanner data to infer the positioning of competing brands, providing valuable information for category management and hence facilitating decision making. Specifically, the authors propose a methodology to study the internal market structure based on market share models with latent heterogeneity when only macro-level time series data (not individual choices) are available. The proposed approach assumes a multidimensional decomposition, latent in the preference structure that is implicit to these types of models. By empirically applying this approach, the authors (1) simultaneously identify both latent dimensions of co…

Cyclic Dinuclear Organotin Cations Stabilized by Bulky Substituents

2015

The syntheses of sterically congested 2,2-bis(diorganochloridostannyl)propane, Me2C(SnClR2)2 (1; R = CH(SiMe3)2), the related salts [cyclo-{Me2C(SnR2)2X}B(ArF)4] (2, X = Cl; 3, X = OAc; 4, X = OH; ArF = 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3), and the four-membered-ring cyclo-{Me2C(SnR2)2O} (5) are reported. The compounds have been characterized by elemental and EDX analyses, 1H, 11B, 13C, 19F, 29Si, and 119Sn NMR and IR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

A Combined Theoretical and Experimental Approach for Platinum Catalyzed 1,2-Propanediol Aqueous Phase Reforming

2017

Decomposition pathways of 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO) on platinum were investigated by means of experiments and quantum-mechanical calculations. Different reaction paths on a Pt(111) model surface were computationally screened. Gas and liquid phase products distribution for aqueous phase reforming of 1,2-PDO solutions was experimentally analyzed. A mechanistic approach was used to trace the preferred paths according to calculated activation barriers of the elementary steps; in this way, the presence or absence of some hypothesized intermediates in the experiments was computationally rationalized. Hydroxyacetone was demonstrated to be among the most favored decomposition products. The competit…

A Finite Difference Model of a PV-PCM System

2012

Abstract The performances of a photovoltaic panel (PV) are defined according to the “peak power” that identifies the maximum electric power supplied by the panel when it receives an insolation of 1 kW/m2 and the temperature of the cell is maintained at 25 °C. These conditions are only nominal since the solar radiation has a variable intensity and also the panel is subjected to thermal excursions; due to these reasons the real power efficiency of the panel is considerably lower than that obtainable in the nominal conditions. The study focused on assessing a method to reduce the peak temperatures of PV systems using Phase Change Materials (PCM). To this aim it was created a numerical model ca…

Commentary: Where is International Accounting Research Going? Issues Needing Further Investigation

2019

Abstract A concurrent session at the 2018 American Accounting Association Annual Meeting featured the panel discussion “Where is International Accounting Research Going? Issues Needing Further Investigation.” The panelists summarized major contributions from existing research in international accounting and highlighted the factors and areas that are in need of further investigation. This paper summarizes the panelists’ prepared remarks.

Price Convergence in the European Union

2004

This study investigates the relationship between market integration and price convergence in international markets. Using a panel data set of consumer price indices (general and by groups and classes), it examines how European market integration has affected cross-country dispersion in the European Union.
