Gonzalez (*), Shouyong Shi (**) Keywords: Learning; wages; unemployment; directed search; monotone comparative statics Abstract: We examine the labor market effects of incomplete information about the workers' own job-finding process. Search outcomes convey valuable information, and learning from search generates endogenous heterogeneity in workers' beliefs about their job-finding probability. We characterize this process and analyze its interactions with job creation and wage determination. Our theory sheds new light on how unemployment can affect workers' labor market outcomes and wage determination, providing a rational explanation for discouragement as the consequence of negative search outcomes. In particular, longer unemployment durations are likely to be followed by lower reemployment wages because a worker's beliefs about his job-finding process deteriorate with unemployment duration. Moreover, our analysis provides a set of useful results on dynamic programming with optimal learning.

Neary (b) Keywords: Second best; Optimal taxation; Growth; Insecure property; Conflict; Diversion Abstract: Social conflict and slow growth are features of many developing economies. This paper considers the role institutions of property rights and conflict management can play in both achieving prosperity and mitigating conflict in these economies. We study how introducing conflict over economic distribution into an otherwise standard model of growth can shape optimal (second-best) taxation policy when diversionary activities cannot be taxed. In this context, we find that the maximization of economic efficiency may call for a reduction in growth in order to mitigate the problem of diversion, even though the economy's growth is inefficiently slow in the absence of taxation. This is so when institutional quality is sufficiently poor, but not otherwise. The paper warns against the conventional justification of growth-promoting policies on efficiency grounds independently of institutions.

To link to full-text access for this article, visit this link: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jet.2005.07.011 Byline: Francisco M. Gonzalez Abstract: This paper shows how the interaction between conflict and growth can give rise to a nonmonotone relationship between property rights and social welfare. This interaction is illustrated in a model of endogenous growth in which equilibrium diversion of resources is the cost of securing effective property rights. A symmetric equilibrium allocation associated with more secure property rights and faster growth can be Pareto dominated by one associated with poorer property rights and slower growth. Faster growth can exacerbate the problem of diversion whenever property rights are sufficiently poor. These results call for caution before a society decides to pursue economic growth independently of the institutional structure of property rights. Furthermore, if this structure is inappropriate piecemeal reform might not be in the interest of society, and a substantial reform might be necessary if it is to be welfare-improving.

A considerable number of nonlinear industrial loads employ three-phase inductive filters to reduce their peak currents and mitigate the conduction of harmonic currents into the supply system. In modeling and analysis of this kind of filter, the fact that--for reasons of economy--they consist of a single block where the three electrical phases share the same magnetic core instead of having three single-phase reactors is often overlooked. Since the three windings are coiled in the same plane, the central magnetic limb of the core has a lower magnetic reluctance than do the lateral limbs. Moreover, this undesired effect is increased by the existence of internal magnetic couplings. The above phenomenon, which might, at first sight, be considered negligible, will become noticeable in real electrical facilities because of the particular operating conditions of three-phase inductive filters. The aim of this paper is, thus, to present a new model for three-limb core three-phase inductive filters that includes all the above parasitic effects and to describe its practical application in order to assess the magnitude of the errors produced by traditional models when estimating real filter behavior. Index Terms--Filter modeling, inductive filter, pulsewidth modulation (PWM) adjustable speed drives (ASDs), structural asymmetry, voltage unbalance.

A new topologically correct hybrid transformer model is developed for low and midfrequency transient simulations. Power transformers have a conceptually simple design, but behaviors can be very complex. The selection of the most suitable representation for a given behavior depends on the type of transformer to be simulated, the frequency range, and other factors, such as the internal design of the transformer and available parameters or design data. Here, a modular model suitable for frequencies up to 3-5 kHz is developed, utilizing a duality-based lumped-parameter saturable core, matrix descriptions of leakage and capacitive effects, and frequency-dependent coil resistance. Implementation and testing of this model was done for 15-kVA 208[DELTA]-120Y 3-legged and 150-kVA 12,470Y-208Y 5-legged transformers. The basis and development of the model is presented, along with a discussion of necessary parameters and the approaches for obtaining them. Index Terms--Duality, Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP), transformer models, transient simulations.

Modern high-energy physics and astrophysics strip detectors have increased channel density to levels at which their connection with readout electronics has become very complex due to high pad pitch. Also, direct wire bonding is prevented by the fact that typically detector's pad pitch and electronics' pad pitch do not match. A high-pitch metal-on-glass technology is presented, that allows pad pitch adaptation between detectors and readout electronics. It consists of high-density metal lines on top of an insulating glass substrate. A photoresist layer is deposited covering the metal tracks for passivation and protection The technology is tested for conductivity, bondability, bonding pull force, peel off, and radiation hardness, and it is an established technology in the clean room of the CNM Institute in Barcelona. This technology has been chosen by the ATLAS Collaboration for the pad pitch adapters (PPA) of the SCT Endcap Modules, by a Compton camera project, and by other HEP groups for interconnection between detectors and readout electronics. Index Terms--Hybrid integrated circuit bonding, Hybrid integrated circuit interconnections, integrated circuit bonding, integrated circuit metallization, interconnections, microstrip, radiation detectors, thin film circuit fabrication.

The influence of informational spillovers on the entrepreneur's incentive to undertake reversible investment opportunities is considered. It is shown how investment activity can be driven by the influence that the prospect of social learning has on the option value of investment. In this context, episodes of high investment activity result from a speculative motive, and the expected short-run profitability of new investment opportunities may inadequately reflect the entrepreneurs' incentive to invest.

To link to full-text access for this article, visit this link: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbankfin.2009.09.020 Byline: Ana Rosa Fonseca, Francisco Gonzalez Keywords: Capital buffers; Regulation; Supervision; Cost of capital; Market power; Panel data Abstract: This paper analyzes the bank and country determinants of capital buffers using a panel data of 1337 banks in 70 countries between 1992 and 2002. After controlling for adjustment costs and the endogeneity of explanatory variables, the results show that capital buffers are positively related to the cost of deposits and bank market power, although the relations vary across countries depending on regulation, supervision, and institutions. Their impact is the result of two generally opposing effects: restrictions on bank activities and official supervision reduce the incentives to hold capital buffers by weakening market discipline, but at the same time they promote higher capital buffers by increasing market power. Institutional quality has the two opposite effects. Better accounting disclosure and less generous deposit insurance, however, have a clear positive effect on capital buffers by both strengthening market discipline and making charter value better able to reduce risk-taking incentives.

In the last years, hospitals in Brazil have made significant investments in adopting and implementing new hospital information system (HIS). Whether these investments will prove beneficial for these organizations depends on the support that will be provided to ensure the effective use of the information systems (IS) implemented and also on the satisfaction of its users. The purpose of this study is to propose a conceptual model, appropriate for the intention to use HIS, by adopting the system, service, and information qualities covered in the Information System Success Model proposed by DeLone and Mclean. In the present study, structural analysis applied to data from a sample of 393 HIS users showed the variables service quality, information quality, system quality and satisfaction to act as antecedents of HIS success. A novel finding of the study was the importance of the user's aptitude with respect to computer moderating the relationships of the model. Managerial implications are provided accordingly. Suggestions for introducing healthcare information system are then provided as well. How to cite this article Nunes GS, Javier MGF.

We consider the incentive to adopt superior technologies when private property is insecure. The welfare costs of insecure property can be substantially greater than those commonly associated with diversion and with the disincentive effect induced by imperfect appropriation of returns. When private property is sufficiently insecure, anticipation of conflict over economic distribution gives rise to technological backwardness, even though (1) superior technologies are readily available at zero cost and (2) the diversion of resources might be small.

Background and aims: As part of an RCT in six European sites, the direct mental health care cost for 422 patients with schizophrenia was analysed according to how total and medication costs differed across sites and which variables were likely to predict total or service-specific costs. Method: Service use was recorded continuously during a 12-month follow-up. Prescribed psychotropic medication was recorded at baseline and 12 months later. Service use data were transformed into EURO, log-transformed and analysed using linear regression models. Results: Although samples were homogeneous, large inter-site cost differences were found (annual means ranging from 2958 E in Spain up to 36978 E in Switzerland). Psychopharmacologic costs were much more constant across sites than costs for other services. Total costs were associated more with region or socio-demographic characteristics than with disorder related parameters. Conclusions: The findings confirm remarkable differences in direct costs of patients with schizophrenia across Europe. However, the relative stability of medication costs suggests a need to analyse mechanisms that influence service-specific costs for schizophrenia. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the changes in ventilator management over time in patients with neurologic disease at ICU admission and to estimate factors associated with 28-day hospital mortality. DESIGN: Secondary analysis of three prospective, observational, multicenter studies. SETTING: Cohort studies conducted in 2004, 2010, and 2016. PATIENTS: Adult patients who received mechanical ventilation for more than 12 hours. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Among the 20,929 patients enrolled, we included 4,152 (20%) mechanically ventilated patients due to different neurologic diseases. Hemorrhagic stroke and brain trauma were the most common pathologies associated with the need for mechanical ventilation. Although volume-cycled ventilation remained the preferred ventilation mode, there was a significant (p < 0.001) increment in the use of pressure support ventilation. The proportion of patients receiving a protective lung ventilation strategy was increased over time: 47% in 2004, 63% in 2010, and 65% in 2016 (p < 0.001), as well as the duration of protective ventilation strategies: 406 days per 1,000 mechanical ventilation days in 2004, 523 days per 1,000 mechanical ventilation days in 2010, and 585 days per 1,000 mechanical ventilation days in 2016 (p < 0.001). There were no differences in the length of stay in the ICU, mortality in the ICU, and mortality in hospital from 2004 to 2016. Independent risk factors for 28-day mortality were age greater than 75 years, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II greater than 50, the occurrence of organ dysfunction within first 48 hours after brain injury, and specific neurologic diseases such as hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, and brain trauma. CONCLUSIONS: More lung-protective ventilatory strategies have been implemented over years in neurologic patients with no effect on pulmonary complications or on survival. We found several prognostic factors on mortality such as advanced age, the severity of the disease, organ dysfunctions, and the etiology of neurologic disease.
