The Online Laboratory: Conducting Experiments in a Real Labor Market
Online labor markets have great potential as platforms for conducting experiments, as they provide immediate access to a large and diverse subject pool and allow researchers to conduct randomized cont
DOE FY 2011 Budget Request for Energy Research, Development, Demonstration, and Deployment: Analysis and Recommendations
In spite of the difficult fiscal situation, President Obama's FY 2011 budget request for energy research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) would increase funding for applied energy RD&D p
Level of Access and Competition in Broadband Markets
In this paper, we consider an unregulated incumbent who owns a broadband infrastructure and decides on how much access to provide to a potential entrant.
The Economics of Productivity
Twenty-three previously published papers examine topics in productivity growth in the information technology industry. Papers discuss U.S.
Evolution of Models to Support Community and Policy Action with Science: Balancing Pastoral Livelihoods and Wildlife Conservation in Savannas of East Africa
We developed a “continual engagement” model to better integrate knowledge from policy makers, communities, and researchers with the goal of promoting more effective action to balance poverty alleviati
Electrical Triggering of Metal-Insulator Transition in Nanoscale Vanadium Oxide Junctions
200 nm diameter Au contacts were fabricated by e-beam lithography on sputtered thin film vanadium oxide grown on conducting substrates and current perpendicular to plane electron transport measurement
Bandgap and Band Offsets Determination of Semiconductor Heterostructures Using Three-Terminal Ballistic Carrier Spectroscopy
Utilizing ambipolar tunnel emission of ballistic electrons and holes, we have developed a model-independent method to self-consistently measure bandgaps of semiconductors and band offsets at semicondu
Institutions for Energy Innovation: A Transformational Challenge
The United States must change the way it produces and uses energy by shifting away from its dependence on imported oil and coal-fired electricity and by increasing the efficiency with which energy is
