This study expands the empirical specification of Cerra and Saxena (2008), and allows short-term output growth regimes to be determined by globalization. Relying on a non-linear dynamic panel representation, it reconciles the earlier results in the literature regarding the two opposite...

China's high national savings rate-one of the highest in the world-is at the heart of its external/internal imbalances. High savings finance elevated investment when held domestically, or lead to large external imbalances when they flow abroad. Today, high savings mostly emanate from the...

Using density functional theory with a semiempirical van der Waals approach proposed by Grimme, the adsorption behavior of carbon monoxide on a gold monolayer supported by graphene or monolayer hexagonal boron nitride has been investigated. Based on the changes in the Dirac cone of graphene and...

We investigate field effect transistors (FETs) based on semiconducting armchair-edged silicene nanoribbons (ASiNRs) by using ab initio quantum transport calculations. These FETs have high performance with an I <Subscript>on</Subscript>/I <Subscript>off</Subscript> ratio of over 10<Superscript>6</Superscript> and a subthreshold swing as small as 90 mV/decade....</superscript></subscript></subscript>

Relaxing the hypothesis on the scale level of a bank, the present paper develops an improved three-bank model for analyzing the relationship between the size and the systemic importance of a bank. The proposed model is more general and more operational compared with other models. By introducing...

We study the association between weather-related mood factors and stock index returns in an order-driven market, the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) of China. Our results indicate that asset returns are unaffected by changes in mood introduced by factors including the weather and the onset and...
