The N=1 triplet vertex operator superalgebras
We introduce a new family of C_2-cofinite N=1 vertex operator superalgebras
SW(m), , which are natural super analogs of the triplet vertex
algebra family W(p), , important in logarithmic conformal field
theory. We classify irreducible SW(m)-modules and discuss logarithmic modules.
We also compute bosonic and fermionic formulas of irreducible SW(m) characters.
Finally, we contemplate possible connections between the category of
SW(m)-modules and the category of modules for the quantum group
U^{small}_q(sl_2), q=e^{\frac{2 \pi i}{2m+1}}, by focusing primarily on
properties of characters and the Zhu's algebra A(SW(m)). This paper is a
continuation of arXiv:0707.1857.Comment: 53 pages; v2: references added; v3: a few changes; v4: final version,

Factorizable ribbon quantum groups in logarithmic conformal field theories
We review the properties of quantum groups occurring as Kazhdan--Lusztig dual
to logarithmic conformal field theory models. These quantum groups at even
roots of unity are not quasitriangular but are factorizable and have a ribbon
structure; the modular group representation on their center coincides with the
representation on generalized characters of the chiral algebra in logarithmic
conformal field models.Comment: 27pp., amsart++, xy. v2: references added, some other minor addition

Expenditure, Confidence, and Uncertainty: Identifying Shocks to Consumer Confidence Using Daily Data
The importance of consumer confidence in stimulating economic activity is a disputed issue in macroeconomics. Do changes in confidence represent autonomous fluctuations in optimism, independent of information on economic fundamentals, or are they a reflection of economic news? I study this question by using high-frequency microdata on spending and consumer confidence, and I find that consumer confidence contains information relevant to predicting spending, independent from other indicators. The exogenous movements in consumer confidence lead to very short fluctuations in consumer spending, consistent with the hypothesis that more consumer confidence reflects less uncertainty about the future
