Response of geostationary communications satellite solid-state power amplifiers to high-energy electron fluence. by Lohmeyer, Whitney, Carlton, Ashley, Wong, Frankie, Bodeau, Michael, Kennedy, Andrew, Cahoy, Kerri

“…Building on the work of Lohmeyer and Cahoy (2013), we find that anomalies occur at a rate higher than just by chance when the >2 MeV electron fluence accumulated over 14 and 21 days is elevated. …”

Political corruption and accounting choices by Zhang, Huai, Zhang, Jin

“…We examine how political corruption affects firms’ accounting choices. We hypothesize and find that firms headquartered in corrupt districts manipulate earnings downwards, relative to firms headquartered elsewhere. …”

: a study of Tobin's Q. by Chong, Hui Shan., Lim, Jian Liang., Tan, Keng Tiong.

“…This paper attempts to document the relations between takeover probability and a comprehensive set of takeover determinants, with an emphasis on Tobin’s Q. We find firms characterized by low Q ratios are more likely to be the targets of takeovers. …”

Breaking invisible barriers: does fast internet improve access to input markets? by Demir, B, Javorcik, B, Panigrahi, P

“…Using the expansion of fiber-optic networks and firm-to-firm transaction data, we find that better connectivity shifts input sourcing to well-connected regions and diversifies supplier networks. …”

Avoiding sovereign default contagion: A normative analysis by De Ferra, S, Mallucci, E

“…First, we look at cross-country bailouts. We find that whenever agents anticipate them, bailouts induce higher borrowings, and yet still enhance welfare. …”

House price expectations and inflation expectations: evidence from survey data by Dhamija, V, Nunes, R, Tara, R

“…Housing is a closely monitored and prominent sector for households. We find that households tend to overweight house price expectations when forming inflation expectations with a coefficient of 25–45 percent, significantly above the weight of house prices in the inflation index. …”

Detection of microscope-excited surface plasmon polaritons with Rayleigh scattering from metal nanoparticles by Du, Luping, Tang, Dingyuan, Yuan, Xiaocong

“…We also use this method to reveal the conversion of spin angular momentum of light to the orbital angular momentum of SPPs under tight-focusing conditions.…”
