Direct experimental verification of applicability of single-site model for angle integrated photoemission of small concentrated Ce compounds
Bulk-sensitive high-resolution Ce 4f spectra have been obtained from 3d
4f resonance photoemission measurements on LaCeAl and
LaCeRu for . The 4f spectra of
low-Kondo-temperature () (La,Ce)Al are essentially identical except
for a slight increase of the Kondo peak with , which is consistent with a
known increase of with . In contrast, the 4f spectra of high-
(La,Ce)Ru show a Kondo-like peak and also a 0.5 eV structure which
increases strongly with . The resonance photon-energy dependences of the two
contributions are different and the origin of the 0.5 eV structure is still
uncertain.Comment: submitted to SCES 2001, two-columnn format, modified tex

Does wage rank affect employees' well-being?
How do workers make wage comparisons? Both an experimental study and an analysis of 16,000 British employees are reported. Satisfaction and well-being levels are shown to depend on more than simple relative pay. They depend upon the ordinal rank of an individual's wage within a comparison group. “Rank” itself thus seems to matter to human beings. Moreover, consistent with psychological theory, quits in a workplace are correlated with pay distribution skewness

Bayes Wars Redivivus - An Exchange
An electronic exchange among 10 evidence scholars that began with a discussion of the restyled Federal Rules and grew into a significant restatement of debates in evidentiary scholarship over the last 50 years, touching on relevance, probative value, inference, Bayesianism and the foundations of evidence, with an introduction by Michael Risinger

Ernst Freund as Precursor of the Rational Study of Corporate Law
Gindis, David, Ernst Freund as Precursor of the Rational Study of Corporate Law (October 27, 2017). Journal of Institutional Economics, Forthcoming. Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2905547, doi: https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2905547The rise of large business corporations in the late 19th century compelled many American observers to admit that the nature of the corporation had yet to be understood. Published in this context, Ernst Freund's little-known The Legal Nature of Corporations (1897) was an original attempt to come to terms with a new legal and economic reality. But it can also be described, to paraphrase Oliver Wendell Holmes, as the earliest example of the rational study of corporate law. The paper shows that Freund had the intuitions of an institutional economist, and engaged in what today would be called comparative institutional analysis. Remarkably, his argument that the corporate form secures property against insider defection and against outsiders anticipated recent work on entity shielding and capital lock-in, and can be read as an early contribution to what today would be called the theory of the firm.Peer reviewe
