    • Propagation Through Endogenous Investment-Specific Technological Change 
      Huffman, Gregory W. (Vanderbilt University, 2002)
      Many real business cycle models lack a significant propagation mechanism. Consequently most of the serial correlation in output is inherited from the serial correlation in the exogenous shocks. A simple model is presented ...
    • Properly proximal groups and von Neumann algebras 
      Ding, Changying; 0000-0003-3251-2273 (2023-03-27)
      Department: Mathematics
      We introduce the notion of proper proximality for finite von Neumann algebras, which naturally extends the notion of proper proximality for groups. Apart from the group von Neumann algebras of properly proximal groups, we ...
