New evidence on mutual fund performance
We compare two bootstrap methods for assessing mutual fund performance. The first produces narrow confidence intervals due to pooling over time, while the second produces wider confidence intervals because it preserves the...

So gross and yet so far away
People morally evaluate norm violations that occur at various distances from the self (e.g., a corrupt politician vs. a cheating spouse). Yet, distance is rarely studied as a moderator of moral judgment processes. We focus on...
Aggregation in economies with search frictions
We derive an aggregation result in economies with indivisible labor supply choices and frictional labor markets, obtaining a tractable model of gross worker flows in aggregate labor markets with search frictions. Our result...

A comparison of performance of Islamic and conventional banks 2004 to 2009
We compare the efficiency of Islamic and conventional banks during the period 2004-2009 using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and meta-frontier analysis (MFA). The use of the non-parametric MFA allows for the decomposition of...

Boron-Doped Diamond Dual-Plate Microtrench Electrode for Generator-Collector Chloride/Chlorine Sensing
A novel generator-collector dual-plate boron-doped diamond microtrench sensor is fabricated and its operation demonstrated for chloride/chlorine detection in the harsh anodic potential range. Detection is made sensitive by...
Breathing oscillations of a trapped impurity in a Bose gas
Motivated by a recent experiment [J. Catani et al., arXiv:1106.0828v1 preprint, 2011], we study breathing oscillations in the width of a harmonically trapped impurity interacting with a separately trapped Bose gas. We provide an...
