The title compound, C18H18O4, is a triclinic polymorph of the previously reported monoclinic polymorph [Han & Zhen (2005 ▶). Acta Cryst. E61, o4358-o4359]. In the crystal of the triclinic polymorph, molecules are linked by two pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (102), and enclosing loops with graph set motifs of R2(2)(8) and R2(2)(6).

Despite the increasing number of studies on monetary policy uncertainty, its role on the strategic interaction between fiscal and monetary policies has not been fully explored. Our paper aims to fill this gap by evaluating the consequences produced by multiplicative uncertainty in such a context. J.E.L. Classification: E61, E63.

Diffraction data were taken from the contribution named 'β-dl-Me-thio-nine at 105 K' by Alagar et al. [Acta Cryst. (2005 ▶). E61, o1165-o1167]. Refinement of the coordinates of the three amino H atoms, previously constrained to an idealized geometry, shows that the amino group is in fact rotated 13.5° from the perfectly staggered orientation. This apparently modest change has a profound impact ...

We generalize the Diamond–Mirrlees production efficiency theorem, that there should be no taxes on sectors producing pure intermediate goods, to an environment with political economy constraints. In our economy, allocations and taxation are decided by self-interested politicians without the power to commit to future policies. The Diamond–Mirrlees production efficiency result holds even when pol...

Many separable dynamic incentive problems have primal recursive formulations in which utility promises serve as state variables. We associate families of dual recursive problems with these by selectively dualizing constraints. We make transparent the connections between recursive primal and dual approaches, relate value iteration under each and give conditions for such value iteration to be con...

This paper deals with hyperbolic discounting in a macro context. Time consistency is discussed in terms of rational behavior and rational expectations. The theory is applied to the intertemporal consumption decision in order to explain undersaving in an economy. Moreover, possible implications on policy makers’ decisions on reforms and budget deficits are evinced. Finally, the Ricardian equival...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(14)H(18)N(2)S, contains two independent and conformationally similar mol-ecules, which form cyclic dimers via inter-molecular hydrogen bonds of the type N-H⋯S [graph set R(2) (2)(8)]. The structure is iso-morphous with that of one of the polymorphs of 4,4,6-tri-methyl-1-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-pyrimidine-2(1H)-thione [Yam-in et al. (2005 ▶). Acta Cryst. E...

Benhabib and Rustichini [Optimal taxes without commitment, J. Econ. Theory 77 (1997) 231–259] study the properties of optimal capital taxes in economies without commitment and no government debt. They find that capital taxes may be different from zero at steady state. This note shows that, once governments have the possibility of issuing debt and smoothing taxes over time, optimal steady state ...

Using genetically typed recombinant influenza A viruses that differ only in their genes for nucleoprotein, we have demonstrated that repeated stimulation in vitro of C57BL/6 spleen cells primed in vivo with E61-13-H17 (H3N2) virus results in the selection of a population of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) whose recognition of infected target cells maps to the gene for nucleoprotein of the 1968 vi...
