The Wage Gains of African-American Women in the 1940s
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Economics, 2004-06)
The weekly wage gap between black and white female workers narrowed by 15 percentage points during the 1940s. We employ a semi-parametric technique to decompose changes in the distribution of wages. We find that changes ...
The Political Economy of State Fair-Housing Laws Prior to 1968
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Economics, 2004-06)
The confluence of the Great Migration and the Civil Rights Movement propelled the drive for "fair-housing" legislation which attempted to curb overt discrimination in housing markets. This drive culminated in the passage ...
Competition and Confidentiality: Signaling Quality in a Duopoly when there is Universal Private Information
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Economics, 2004-07)
How does the need to signal quality through price affect equilibrium pricing and profits, when a firm faces a similarly-situated rival? In this paper, we provide a model of non-cooperative signaling by two firms that compete ...
Public Good Provision and the Comparative Statics of Optimal Nonlinear Income Taxation
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Economics, 2004-06)
Comparative static properties of the solution to an optimal nonlinear income tax problem are provided for a model in which the government both designs an income tax schedule for redistributive purposes and provides a public ...

Performance of Missing Transverse Momentum Reconstruction in Proton-proton Collisions at Toot s=13 TeV Using the CMS Detector
(Journal of Instrumentation, 2019-07-04)
The performance of missing transverse momentum (ÆpmissT) reconstruction algorithms for the CMS experiment is presented, using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected at the CERN LHC in 2016. ...
Rarefied particle motions on hillslopes: 2. Analysis (Supplementary Material)
(2020)
We conducted two sets of experiments. The first set was aimed at demonstrating the basis for treating the proportion of energy extraction, βx, as a random variable. In the second set of experiments we launched particles ...

Reflection and rotation for three dimensional microscopy of live cells
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, 2008-04-18)
Confocal scanning laser microscopy and multiphoton microscopy provide 3D data from biological specimens, but with limited z-axis precision. Multiple microscale mirrors can be used to obtain more accurate 3D data on living ...
