The paper analyses a simplified version of a Glosten-Milgrom style specialist security trading model with trade-timing. In a setting where traders are differentially informed, if the best-informed investors have a sufficiently strong or weak impact on prices then the investors with the strongest impact on prices delay their investment strategically, pretending to be the low-impact types.

Objective: The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 0.3% sodium hyaluronate (SH) versus hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose (HPMC)/dextran in reducing dry eye symptoms, recovering tear film function and enhancing corneal wound healing in patients who underwent photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) surgery. Methods: This was a randomized, masked-assessor, controlled, parallel-...

We provide a critique of the methods that have been used to derive measures of income risk and draw attention to the importance of demographic factors as a source of income risk. We also propose new measures of the contribution to total income risk of demographic and labour market factors. Empirical evidence supporting our arguments is provided using data from the British Household Survey. JEL ...

The data in Fehr and Tyran (2001) and Petersen and Winn (2014) show that money illusion plays an important role in nominal price adjustment after a fully anticipated negative monetary shock. Money illusion affects subjects’ expectations, and causes pronounced nominal inertia after a negative shock but much less inertia after a positive shock. Thus Petersen and Winn (2014) provide a misleading i...

We document that the expectations of households, firms, and professional forecasters in standard surveys simultaneously extrapolate from recent events underreact to new information. Existing models expectation formation, whether behavioral or rational, cannot account for these observations. develop a rational theory extrapolation based on limited attention, which is consistent with this evidenc...

Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes conversion of nucleoside diphosphates (NDPs) to 2'-deoxynucleotides, a critical step in DNA replication and repair in all organisms. Class-Ia RNRs, found in aerobic bacteria and all eukaryotes, are a complex of two subunits: α2 and β2. The β2 subunit contains an essential diferric-tyrosyl radical (Y122O(•)) cofactor that is needed to initiate reduction o...

The entry of ecotropic murine leukemia virus (MLV) into cells requires the interaction of the envelope protein (Env) with its receptor, mouse cationic amino acid transporter 1 (mATRC1). An aspartic acid-to-lysine change at position 84 (D84K) of ecotropic Moloney MLV Env abolishes virus binding and infection. We recently identified lysine 234 (rK234) in mATRC1 as a residue that influences virus ...

We develop a theory of low-frequency movements in inflation expectations, and use it to interpret joint dynamics expectations for the United States other countries over postwar period. In our theory, long-run are endogenous. They driven by short-run surprises, way that depends on recent forecasting performance monetary policy. This distinguishes from common explanations properties inflation. Th...
