Thomson on Goodness

Thomson scattering on inhomogeneous targets.

The introduction of brilliant free-electron lasers enables new pump-probe experiments to characterize warm dense matter states. For instance, a short-pulse optical laser irradiates a liquid hydrogen jet that is subsequently probed with brilliant soft x-ray radiation. The strongly inhomogeneous plasma prepared by the optical laser is characterized with particle-in-cell simulations. The interacti...

Financial Constraints on Corporate Goodness ∗

An influential thesis, dubbed “Doing Well by Doing Good”, argues that corporate social responsibility is profitable. We establish that, if anything, the reverse is true: firms do good only when they do well in the sense of having financial slack. We model a firm’s optimal choices of capital and goodness subject to financial constraints. Lessconstrained firms spend more on goodness. We verify th...

John Thomson

one whose clinical acumen, painstaking and accurate observations and valuable writings had gained for him a reputation which was world-wide and which added a lustre to British Medicine. John Thomson was born in Edinburgh in 1856, and, after receiving his education at the Academy and University, he studied in London, Berlin and Vienna. His interest was early directed towards diseases of children...

On Goodness-of-fit Tests

Doug Thomson

This paper will present an e-procurement model to facilitate online B2B exchanges. Large organizations in Australia and around the world are increasingly implementing e-procurement, which has increased the need for services of intermediaries such as ‘emarkets’ to facilitate the process. However, both being new and unproven require theories and models to support their roles in the online procure...
