Resting heart rate (HR) and HR responses of fetal and neonatal rats are described before and after intraoral infusion of isotonic saline or lemon solution. Stable measurements of resting HR were obtained for fetuses over the last three days of gestation (E19, E20, E21) and pups on the day of birth (P0) and four subsequent postnatal ages (P1, P3, P5, P7). Resting HR decreased significantly on P0...

Concern for individual consumption relative to per capita consumption can induce a fear of falling behind which increases precautionary savings. This fear intensifies as societal income growth increases, allowing for a positive effect of growth on savings rates. JEL classifications: E21, D11, D91.

Using quarterly data for the last four decades, we test a number of traditional assumptions about aggregate consumer behaviour in the UK, with regard to the order of integration of the time series, the income elasticity of consumption and the stability of the parameters of the consumption function. In all cases, modification of these assumptions now appears to be necessary. JEL Classification: E21

In this paper the possible numbers of blocks lEI n E21 in common to two G-designs, (ti, Er) and (V, B 2 ), are determined, where the graph G has six vertices and six edges, contains a cycle of length four, and has two pendant edges. There are four such graphs G.

I estimate an extended version of the incomplete markets consumption model allowing for heterogeneity in discount factors, nonseparable preferences for food and other nondurables, liquidity constraints, and precautionary savings. I find statistical support for this model, especially for the non-separability of preferences for food and other nondurables. JEL D12, D91, E21

Analytical expectational stability results are obtained for both Euler-equation and infinitehorizon adaptive learning in a simple stochastic growth model. The rational expectations equilibrium is stable under both types of learning, though there are differences in the learning dynamics. JEL Classification: E62, D84, E21, E43.

We study the wealth distribution in Bewley economies with idiosyncratic capital income risk. We show analytically that under rather general conditions on the stochastic structure of the economy, a unique ergodic distribution of wealth displays a fat tail. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
