Free-electron-laser (FEL) oscillators have only recently achieved their original promise as producers of high-power, short-wavelength, tunable radiation. Room-temperature accelerator systems have generally had limited duty factor due to excessive Ohmic losses on cavity walls. The application of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) technology has now permitted an increase by more than two order...

In the early 1990s, Taiwan began her deregulation trend in order to enhance competition and economic efficiency across all industries. We derive a theoretical framework to predict possible rankings in technical efficiencies of public, mixed, and private banks. A panel data set with 43 Taiwanese banks during 1997-1999 is used for empirical analysis. We then apply a translog distance function to ...

Under conventional inflation targeting (IT), the lower bound on nominal interest rates gives rise to a systematic downward bias in that substantially reduces welfare. Using two variants of New Keynesian model, we investigate whether monetary policy strategy aims stabilize an average rate—rather than period-by-period rate—leads better outcomes. With rational expectations, price level (PLT)—the l...
