This paper describes the participation of Araguaia Medical Vision Lab at the International Skin Imaging Collaboration 2017 Skin Lesion Challenge. We describe the use of deep convolutional neural networks in attempt to classify images of Melanoma and Seborrheic Keratosis lesions. With use of finetuned GoogleNet and AlexNet we attained results of 0.950 and 0.846 AUC on Seborrheic Keratosis and Me...

This paper infers the terms of trade effects of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) implemented in the 1990s. We estimate large FTA effects on bilateral trade volume in 2 digit manufacturing goods from 1990-2002, using panel data gravity methods to resolve two way causality. The terms of trade changes implied by these volume effects are deduced for 40 countries plus a rest-of-the-world aggregate using...
