In this paper, we consider the harmonic measure on the unit sphere Sn−1 on Rn (n≥2) and offer a two-sided estimate of precise order on the Sobolev constant with exponent p∈(1,2). As special cases for p=1 and p tending to 2, our estimates recover those in Barthe et al. (2104) for n≥3...

For an exchangeable sequence of random variables taking values in a Polish space, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the large deviation principles with respect to the [tau]-topology of the occupation measure and of the process-level empirical measures.

This paper conducts a laboratory experiment to assess the impact of social comparisons on the disposition effect. We set up two types of interventions on social comparisons to specifically explore two questions that appeal to us: on the one hand, manipulating the sensitivity of financial...

It is well known that much of the recorded foreign direct investment (FDI) to the People's Republic of China is financed by domestically generated funds that leave the country to return as 'roundtripping' FDI. This paper provides one of the very few estimates of the magnitude of this form of FDI...

Regional disparities within the People's Republic of China are now an important policy question. Recently the three provinces of the north-east region has been identified as priority areas for regional development, along with the Western part of the country. The north-east is the old industrial...

China and the international monetary system need each other. The international monetary system is strained, with crisis just around the corner, yet reform is not on anyone's agenda. Meanwhile China, deeply invested in the current system, faces narrowing options as trading partners question its...
