    103-108Silicon, nanoelectronics, nanodotsThis paper presents a brief review of our recent work investigating a novel bottom-up approach to realize silicon based nanoelectronics. We discuss fabrication technique, electronic properties and device applications of silicon nanodots as a building block for nanoscale silicon devices

    Flowing Together or Flowing Apart: An Analysis of the Relation between FDI and ODA Flows to Argentina and Brazil

    The analysis of the relationship between ODA and capital flows is scarce and has provided cross-country ambiguous results. The purpose of our study is to explore the relation between FDI and ODA for Argentina and Brazil. We have divided the analysis into the macro and the micro approach. From the macro perspective, we analyze the volatility and cyclical aspects of both flows. We also study if they buffer GDP’s shocks. We find that aid is more stable than FDI… At micro level, we look for structural relations by analyzing sectorial destination of both flows. We find that the main foreign direct investors are also the main donors but no systematic relation emerge between FDI and ODA flows, except for the Japanese case in Brazil.Foreign Direct Investment; Official Development Assistance; International Capital Flows; Emerging Economies Financing

    Oral history interview with Mae H. Oda, 2013 June 23

    No full text
    Michigan State University historian Naoko Wake sits down with Mae Oda, daughter of a Hiroshima victim, and speaks with her regarding her work with other survivors. Oda discusses her work with mainland Japanese survivors as well as those in Hawaii, and what it's been like helping treat them for radiation and other illnesses. She shares her teaching experiences, what radiation treatment felt like, and prejudices she faced after moving to San Francisco. Oda also discusses the American curiosity with Hiroshima after the war, and some of the negatively impactful mindsets that come from ignorance. She details her understanding of the war through the stories she's learned and from the people she has met, and explains how meaningful it has been working with survivors

    Payoff levels, loss avoidance, and equilibrium selection in the Stag Hunt: an experimental study

    No full text
    Game theorists typically assume that changing a game’s payoff levels—by adding the same constant to, or subtracting it from, all payoffs—should not affect behavior. While this invariance is an implication of the theory when payoffs mirror expected utilities, it is an empirical question when the “payoffs” are actually money amounts. In particular, if individuals treat monetary gains and losses differently, then payoff–level changes may matter when they result in positive payoffs becoming negative, or vice versa. We report the results of a human–subjects experiment designed to test for two types of loss avoidance: certain–loss avoidance (avoiding a strategy leading to a sure loss, in favor of an alternative that might lead to a gain) and possible–loss avoidance (avoiding a strategy leading to a possible loss, in favor of an alternative that leads to a sure gain). Subjects in the experiment play three versions of Stag Hunt, which are identical up to the level of payoffs, under a variety of treatments. We find differences in behavior across the three versions of Stag Hunt; these differences are hard to detect in the first round of play, but grow over time. When significant, the differences we find are in the direction predicted by certain– and possible–loss avoidance. Our results carry implications for games with multiple equilibria, and for theories that attempt to select among equilibria in such games
