Wealth dynamics: reducing noise in panel data
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006-09)
Although the asset data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is of very high quality, there is sufficient noise to frustrate attempts to study saving behaviour by examining wave-to-wave change in wealth. In this ...
Why are gasoline prices sticky? A test of alternative models of price adjustment
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2010-09)
Macroeconomic models of business cycles rely on the assumption that firms adjust prices infrequently to generate the short-run non-neutrality of money documented by the monetary transmission literature. They posit different ...
A conceptual guide to natural history museum visitors' understanding of evolution
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2010-03)
Museum visitors are an ideal population for assessing the persistence of the conceptual barriers that make it difficult to grasp Darwinian evolutionary theory. In comparison with other members of the public, they are more ...
Estimating the distributional impact of time-of-day pricing of electricity
(Elsevier, 1984)
We consider the general problem of recovering estimates of welfare measures such as willingness to pay, price indices, etc. from demand data with particular emphasis on the problem of unobserved taste variation across ...
Real-World Applications and Instructional Representations Among Prospective Elementary Science Teachers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-12)
This paper explores new elementary teachers' instructional representations and how these are related to their science subject matter knowledge. One pair of prospective elementary teachers studied here exhibited a ...
On the structure of moving average processes
(Elsevier, 1977-07)
This paper uses Hilbert space methods to develop a rigorous proof that the sum of two uncorrelated moving average processes of order q1 and q2 is an MA process of order q [less, double equals] max (q1, q2). The methods ...
Development and Evaluation of an Inquiry-Based Elementary Science Teacher Education Program Reflecting Current Reform Movements
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-08)
The National Science Education Standards (National Research Council 1996, National science education standards . Washington, DC: National Academy Press) and various other national and state documents call for teachers who ...
Developing a hypothetical multi-dimensional learning progression for the nature of matter
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2010-08)
We describe efforts toward the development of a hypothetical learning progression (HLP) for the growth of grade 7–14 students' models of the structure, behavior and properties of matter, as it relates to nanoscale science ...
The Path Integral Approach to Financial Modeling and Options Pricing
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-04)
In this paper we review some applications of the path integral methodology of quantum mechanics to financial modeling and options pricing. A path integral is defined as a limit of the sequence of finite-dimensional integrals, ...
A remark on boundary restrictions in the Global Newton method
(Elsevier, 1977-08)
This remark shows how Smale's method of computing fixed points can be extended to problems involving very general boundary behavior.
