Behaviour of Dickey-Fuller Unit Root Tests Under Trend Misspecification
No full textWe analyse the case where a unit root test is based on a Dickey-Fuller regression whose only deterministic term is a fixed intercept. Suppose, however, as could well be the case, that the actual data generating process includes a broken linear trend. It is shown theoretically, and verified empirically, that under the I(1) null and I(0) alternative hypotheses the Dickey-Fuller test can display a wide range of different characteristics depending on the nature and location of the break.

“Margaret Fuller on the Stage”
No full text"Margaret Fuller on the Stage" considera la presenza di Fuller come personaggio del dramma di Susan Sontag, "Alice in Bed" (1993), in cui la protagonista Alice James si intrattiene -- nella scena della propria mente -- con importanti donne di lettere come Emily Dickinson e la Fuller oltre a due personaggi di fantasia, al fine di ricavarne consigli e insegnamenti. Di Fuller il saggio mette in rilievo la personalità incline al "role-playing" e all'auto-drammatizzazione conducendo così a un giro di vite sul problema dell'identità dell'autrice di "Woman in the Nineenth-century" pesantemente manipolata, alla sua morte, dai grandi Maestri del trascendentalismo, come Emerson e Hawthorne, oltre a eminenti scrittori come Higginson, Poe e James che ne fornirono all'unisono un ritratto poco rispondente al carattere di donna trasgressiva che condivide parzialmente con le altre figure invocate nella scena del dramma di Sontag. Citazioni dai sei volumi di lettere della scrittrice raccolte da Robert Hudspeth e analogie tra la situazione "nonsensical" della scena con l'assurda situazione in cui viene a trovarsi il personaggio Alice creato da Lewis Carroll quando attraversa la soglia tra veglia e sonno sono messe a confronto con il dramma pirandelliano "Come tu mi vuoi", perchè il lettore possa valutare appieno il ruolo della "maschera" -- una ricerca condotta a suo tempo da Pirandello e riproposta da Sontag -- nell'auto-costruzione del sè. In pieno possesso del suo personaggio, Sontag crea, con Fuller, la propria complice e il proprio doppio, facendo di lei, come fu fatto a suo tempo di Sontag stessa da Norman Mailer, una "Dark Lady". Il ricco apparato di note ha il merito di ricongiungere la puntuale ricerca delle femministe Sandra Gilbert e Susan Gubar che data al 1979 con l'aggiornata interpretazione teatrale delle tre principali scrittrici da parte dell'intellettuale Sontag."Margaret Fuller on the Stage” focuses on the presence of Fuller as a character in Susan Sontag’s play "Alice in Bed" (1993), where Alice, the protagonist, entertains – in the scene of her own mind – important women of letters, such as Emily Dickinson and Fuller besides two fictional characters, with the aim of obtaining advice and counseling. The essay is devoted to Fuller’s persona – mostly, her inkling towards role-playing and self-dramatization –- and leads to a turning point that revolves around the problem of identity of the author of Woman in the Nineenth-Century. It also focuses on the question of the manipulation of Margaret Fuller on the part of the great Transcendentalist Masters such as Emerson and Hawthorne, besides eminent writers like Higginson, Poe and Henry James, who portrayed her as a different woman from the transgressive figure who shares the features of the other women of letters evoked in Sontag’s drama. Quotations from the six volumes of the writer’s letters, gathered by Robert Hudspeth, and analogies between the "nonsensical" situation of the scene with the absurd situation where Lewis Carroll’s Alice falls into when she crosses the threshold between wake and sleep, are compared with Pirandello’s play, 'As You Desire Me', in order for the reader to evaluate the role of the “mask ". That is a research concerning the construction of the self that was undertaken also by Pirandello and was then re-proposed by Sontag. Well in possession of her main character in Scene 5 of the play, Sontag sees in Fuller her own accomplice and turns her – as Norman Mailer did with Sontag herself – into a "Dark Lady". The rich and extensive reference apparatus links up the work of feminist critics Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar (dating to 1979) with intellectual Sontag’s updated theatrical interpretation of the three main characters

Geometry of Călugăreanu's theorem
No full textA central result in the space geometry of closed twisted ribbons is Călugăreanu's theorem (also known as White's formula, or the Călugăreanu–White–Fuller theorem). This enables the integer linking number of the two edges of the ribbon to be written as the sum of the ribbon twist (the rate of rotation of the ribbon about its axis) and its writhe. We show that twice the twist is the average, over all projection directions, of the number of places where the ribbon appears edge-on (signed appropriately)—the ‘local’ crossing number of the ribbon edges. This complements the common interpretation of writhe as the average number of signed self-crossings of the ribbon axis curve. Using the formalism we develop, we also construct a geometrically natural ribbon on any closed space curve—the ‘writhe framing’ ribbon. By definition, the twist of this ribbon compensates its writhe, so its linking number is always zero
Hoyt William Fuller Collection
No full textThe Hoyt William Fuller Collection documents his career from 1943-1981. Mr. Fuller's association with Johnson Publishing Company from the 1950's until 1976 is represented during his years as the associate editor of Ebony and as editor of Negro Digest/Black World, 1961-1976. In his capacity as editor of the leading Black literary publication in the nation, Mr. Fuller was mentor, critic, consultant and publisher to many of today's writers. He was a founder of the Organization of Black American Culture (O.B.A.C.). The famous Wall of Respect in Chicago, created by the artist workshop of O.B.A.C. in May of 1976, gave impetus to the wall mural movement of the 1960's. The papers and the correspondence, photographs and posters that document his travels in Africa, Europe and the Americas leave a collection of great clarity and great beauty. This collection will prove to be a vital link in the history of African Americans and a most important part of the development of responsible journalism in the United States.

Unit root testing
No full textThe occurrence of unit roots in economic time series has far reaching consequences for univariate as well as multivariate econometric modelling. Therefore, unit root tests are nowadays the starting point of most empirical time series studies. The oldest and most widely used test is due to Dickey and Fuller (1979). Reviewing this test and variants thereof we focus on the importance of modelling the deterministic component. In particular, we survey the growing literature on tests accounting for structural shifts. Finally, further applied aspects are addressed how to get the size correct and obtain good power at the same time. --Dickey-Fuller,size and power,deterministic components,structural breaks
