摘要:Audiences discover what films they like and spread the word. Information feedback produces Bose-Einstein dynamics in the motion picture box office revenue distribution. Information cascades generate box office 'hits' and 'flops'. The revenue distribution evolves recursively over the 'run' as a mixture of the 'opening' and a stochastic competition among films. The motion picture run is decentralised, adaptive, and self-organising: semi-stationary admission prices, local information, and conting...

It finds that net capital gains on household wealth have been sizeable albeit volatile in Japan during this period and that their impact on consumption has been substantial, especially during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The econometric analysis is one of the first cointegration anal...

The result of including the long-term share option component of pay along with the more commonly utilised short-term component of emoluments is to reveal executive pay as being significantly more sensitive to company performance than has previously been thought to be the case. The pape...

摘要:In high inflation countries, policymakers often end up paying interest an part of the money supply. Higher interest rates on money have been used as a disinflationary policy. This paper analyses the effectiveness of such a policy in the context of a closed-economy, staggered-prices model. Both a permanent and a temporary rise in the interest rate on money provoke an initial fall in inflation, at the expense of a recession. When the rise is temporary, however, the initial inflation slowdown is'...
