We analyze the term structure of Treasury liquidity premium (LP). Through a model where illiquidity shocks can be alleviated by holding money and Treasuries, we show that the LP term structure is determined by (i) expectation of future liquidity conditions, (ii) liquidity term premium, (iii)...

We examine equilibrium selection in a two-stage sequential elimination contest in which contestants compete for a single prize. This game has a continuum of equilibria, only one of which satisfies the Coalition-Proof Nash Equilibrium (CPNE) refinement. That equilibrium involves burning out by...

We document and explain the sharp performance deterioration of smart beta in- dexes after the corresponding smart beta ETFs are launched for investment. While smart beta claims to deliver excess returns through factor exposures, the market-adjusted return of smart beta indexes drops from about...

We propose an interaction tree (IT) procedure to optimize the subgroup analysis in comparative studies that involve censored survival times. The proposed method recursively partitions the data into two subsets that show the greatest interaction with the treatment, which results in a number of...

This article explains the current hukou system in China and provides the most recent evidence on the impact of the hukou system on the Chinese labor market and economy. By a comprehensive literature survey, this paper shows that the hukou system plays in two major roles in current China. First,...

The influence of hydrogen addition (0-100%) on combustion and emission characteristics (NO and CO emission characteristics) of laminar-premixed methane flame under gas turbine relevant operating conditions was numerically studied. The PREMIX code of ANSYS CHEMKIN-PRO and the GRI-Mech 3.0 were...

We examine equilibrium selection in a two-stage sequential elimination contest in which contestants compete for a single prize. This game has a continuum of equilibria, only one of which satisfies the Coalition-Proof Nash Equilibrium (CPNE) refinement. That equilibrium involves “burning out”...
