Abstract Strike-slip faults can be nonplanar in both their strike and dip dimensions. While a large body of work has investigated the effects changes on earthquake rupture arrest, no previous studies have role along-strike variations strike-slip ruptures. Here, I use three-dimensional finite-element method to conduct dynamic simulations ruptures with linear surface traces along strike. experime...

introduction iran forms a relatively compact zone of active continental deformation resulted from the northward collision of arabia with eurasia during late cenozoic times, which is continuing to the present-day at a rate of 25 mm/yrs (from gps data). evidences of active tectonic in different parts of iran, has been studied and identified. the arid climate, low rates of erosion, and minimal veg...

We study wage bargaining in which the union is uncertain about the firm's willingness to pay and threat payoffs vary over time. Strike payoffs change over time as replacement workers are hired, as strikers find temporary jobs, and as inventories or strike funds run out. We find that bargaining outcomes are substantially altered if threat payoffs vary. If dispute costs increase in the long-run, ...
