Submitted by puput on Thu, 01/07/2010 - 03:47

Policymakers widely acknowledge the role obesity plays in driving up health care costs. But the country’s ever?increasing obesity epidemic has other consequences as well, including reduced productivity and heightened morbidity and mortality.

This report asks whether the fight against obesity—which the country is badly losing would benefit from strategies that have dramatically reduced tobacco use during the past 45 years as well as new anti?tobacco strategies that have begun to show promise.

Submitted by antoq on Fri, 05/08/2009 - 07:22

Has this ever happened to you? You were at a game or party or dance or fast food joint or in a class with someone you wanted to meet, but just didn't know how. And you never met that person. You kept hoping that they would notice you, but they never did?

Have you ever been on a date and had nothing to say? Have you ever wanted to extend the hand of friendship to someone, but couldn't figure out how to start? Have you ever been in a conversation with someone, and no matter how you tried, it felt like there was simply nothing to say?

Ebook Excess price volatility and financial innovation

Submitted by puput on Tue, 06/15/2010 - 08:01

In this paper we find sufficient conditions for the robust design of assets that reduce asset price volatility. An intimately related question is whether and how the degree of market incompleteness affects asset price volatility.

We use the standard model of discrete-time dynamic trading of assets and multiple goods in a finite economy (see Duffie and Shafer (1986)). In our setup, asset design is not the result of optimizing behavior, and asset markets are exogenously incomplete. We concentrate on the equilibrium effects of having different financial structures. We impose time separability and use von Neumann Morgenstern expected utilities. Any weaker version of separability (such as time non separability, or habit formation) also gives rise to the same results as the ones presented in this paper. The model we use covers any finite time horizon trading economy, even though we focus on the three-period case. Although a new financial asset generally plays a role as a hedging device and as an information vehicle, the results in this paper do not address differential information economies. Rather, we concentrate on the spanning role of financial assets.
