We review arguments and empirical evidence found in the comparative literature that bear on the differences in the survival rates of parliamentary and presidential democracies. Most of these arguments focus on the fact that presidential democracies are based on the separation of executive and legislative powers, while parliamentary democracies are based on the fusion of these powers. From this ...

We investigate Buchbaum and Eisenbud's construction of the second symmetric power $s_R(X)$ of a chain complex $X$ of modules over a commutative ring $R$. We state and prove a number of results from the folklore of the subject for which we know of no good direct references. We also provide several explicit computations and examples. We use this construction to prove the following vers...

In this work, a global bulk plasma model coupled bi-d irectionally with a Monte-Carlo/fluid sheathmodel was developed for electronegative Ar/O2 inductive discharges, to explore the ion energy function (IEDF) and angular distributions function (IADF) bombarding an rf-biased electrode. At low bias voltage, the IEDF of Ar shows a single energy peak that transforms into a bimodal distribution with ...

In this paper we provide a political game where agents decide whether to become legislators or politicians. Legislators determine the political institutions constraining politicians’ behavior and politicians compete for gaining the power to make decisions about the level of the public good. We derive the following results: i) Political competition is a necessary but not a sufficient condition f...

This paper elaborates on the government's powers - both at the domestic level and over foreign countries. The domestic power is the power against domestic lobbies, and the foreign one is the government's international power. To do so, this paper tries to evaluate the effects of these powers   on the formation of free trade agreements (FTAs). The theoretical framework follows an oligopolistic-po...
