To set inventory service levels, suppliers must understand how changes in inventory service level affect demand. We build on prior research, which uses analytical models and laboratory experiments to study the impact of a supplier’s service level on demand from retailers, by testing this relationship in the field. We analyze a field experiment at the supplier Hugo Boss to determine how the supp...

Pro-cyclical aggregate R&D has been taken as evidence against the conventional Schumpeterian view on the optimal timing of innovation. We decompose aggregate R&D and real GDP in the U.S. into those by 22 industry groups. Surprisingly, we find only 5.67% of pro-cyclical aggregate R&D reflects withinindustry timing of innovation and production, but 94.37% arises from interindustry co-movement bet...

The form of the initial value constraints in Ashtekar’s hamiltonian formulation of general relativity is recalled, and the problem of solving them is compared with that in the traditional metric variables. It is shown how the general solution of the four diffeomorphism constraints can be obtained algebraically provided the curvature is nondegenerate, and the form of the remaining (Gauss law) co...

Professor Graeme Hugo is an outstanding guide through this field. His knowledge of the issues must be almost unparalleled in the group of authors who write on this topic in Australia. His style in this publication fits well into the Bu re a u ' s objective for its Understanding series, which is designed to provide authoritative, balanced coverage at a level suitable for schools and nonspecialis...

The plethora of names given to S100 proteins resulted in considerable confusion. Here we present the official and updated nomenclature of this protein family, approved by the HGNC (HUGO gene nomenclature committee) and ECS (European Calcium Society).

Catastrophic shocks to existing stocks of a renewable resource can cause long-run price shifts. With timber, these long-run price shifts may be accompanied by a short-run price drop due to salvage. Hurricane Hugo damaged 20% of southern pine timber in the South Carolina Coastal Plain in 1989. To estimate the shortand long-run effects of the hurricane on the prices of timber stocks, we estimated...

The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee situated at the European Bioinformatics Institute assigns unique symbols and names to human genes. Since 2011, the data within our database has expanded largely owing to an increase in naming pseudogenes and non-coding RNA genes, and we now have >33,500 approved symbols. Our gene families and groups have also increased to nearly 500, with ∼45% of our gene en...
