Short Cuts

worth of free, word-of-mouth marketing. Hooking someone while still in college is one way to do this. Just the Basics I know that my spending habits have changed in the last couple of years. Yours likely have too. This change is the result of job cuts, lower pay and the overall financial downturn. We all need the economy to recover and getting out there and spending some money would certainly help turn things around, but few people can afford to do that at this point. We are basically just spending

shifting between the corporate sector and the individual sector [Slemrod 1996; Gordon and Slemrod 2000]. We do not deny that fiscal manipulation can have substantial short-run effects, but we argue that most long-run inequality trends are the consequence of 4 QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS real economic change, and that a short-run perspective might lead to attribute improperly some of these trends to fiscal manipulation. The paper is organized as follows. Section II describes our data sources

do not generate all the resources needed. For new farmers and for farmers wishing to acquire additional land, borrowing is essential. Banks have been a major source of funds but sources such as merchant businesses also provide credit, usually on a short-term basis. In some situations capital may be injected by companies who wish to secure supplies from a particular farm. Diagram 1.11 shows how banks reduced their lending to farms in the early nineties but saw it gradually increase again in the more

this G series, we selected the “2203” with a master volume and it is quite easy to get the distortion. By today’s standards, the amplifier’s distortion is rather moderate, but the sound is very fat, the low-end is quite tight and, above all, the sound cuts through very well. When higher gain is required, this amplifier is often combined with overdrive or booster pedals. For the modeling, we used the head with a “1960A” cabinet that has four 12” loudspeakers and works very well with the “2203”. The

bus system in order to revitalize the deteriorated public transportation service that had long been losing its popularity with the city’s citizens. The new system was comprised of coordinated bus and metro services, integrated fare structure, and shorter , more time-saving bus routes. In this paper, the city-wide reformation project is described in four main aspects: 1) The external factors that contributed to the need to reform the contemporary bus system, 2) The difficulties faced during the

rationnelle e e July 25, 2003 Abstract Several unsupervised learning algorithms based on an eigendecomposition provide either an embedding or a clustering only for given training points, with no straightforward extension for out-of-sample examples short of recomputing eigenvectors. This paper provides algorithms for such an extension for Local Linear Embedding (LLE), Isomap, Laplacian Eigenmaps, Multi-Dimensional Scaling (all algorithms which provide lower-dimensional embedding for dimensionality

middle-income countries have placed undue and potentially damaging upward pressure on currencies. Many of these flows are short-lived, volatile and sometimes speculative in nature. Left unchecked, such flows can lead to abrupt real appreciations and depreciations that are out of line with underlying fundamentals, and can do lasting damage to economies. The biggest increases were in short-term debt flows, equities and bonds, notably corporate bonds. Long-term bank lending also posted large percentage increases

50 rotations per second, producing an a.c. current of 50 Hz. The coil is connected to a circuit via slip rings which rotate with the coil and make contact with the circuit via carbon or copper brushes. When the coil is in the horizontal position, it cuts the field at a maximum rate, producing a maximum e.m.f. When the coil is in the vertical position, the current in the wires is moving in the same direction as the field, therefore there isn't any cutting of the field and therefore no e.m.f. is produced
