TL;DR: SSVEP differences sufficient for BCI control may be elicited by selective attention to one of two overlapping stimuli, demonstrating that some SSVEP-based BCI approaches may not depend on gaze control.

Abstract: We use the Survey of Doctorate Recipients to examine the question of who in US universities is patenting. Because standard methods of estimation are not directly applicable, we use a zero-inflated negative binomial model to estimate the patent equation, using instruments for the number of articles to avoid problems of endogeneity. We also estimate the patent model using the generalized method of moments estimation of count data models with endogenous regressors. We find work context and field to be important predictors of the number of patent applications. We also find patents to be positively and significantly related to the number of publications. This finding is robust to the choice of instruments and method of estimation. The cross-sectional nature of the data preclude an examination of whether a trade-off exists between publishing and patenting, holding individual characteristics constant over time. But the strong cross-sectional correlation that we find does not suggest that commercialization has co...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a general framework for pricing variable annuities with embedded guarantees, including guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB) and guaranteed minimum living benefits (GMLB).
Abstract: Variable Annuities with embedded guarantees are very popular in the US market. There exists a great variety of products with both, guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB) and guaranteed minimum living benefits (GMLB). Although several approaches for pricing some of the corresponding guarantees have been proposed in the academic literature, there is no general framework in which the existing variety of such guarantees can be priced consistently. The present paper fills this gap by introducing a model, which permits a consistent and extensive analysis of all types of guarantees currently offered within Variable Annuity contracts. Besides a valuation assuming that the policyholder follows a given strategy with respect to surrender and withdrawals, we are able to price the contract under optimal policyholder behavior. Using both, MonteCarlo methods and a generalization of a finite mesh discretization approach, we find that some guarantees are overpriced, whereas others, e.g. guaranteed annuities within guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB), are offered significantly below their risk-neutral value.

TL;DR: In this paper, two studies were conducted to examine whether shopping values are affected by perceived retail crowding, and whether the shopping values mediate the relationship between perceived retail crowds and shopping satisfaction, and the results showed that when these mediating variables are accounted for, human crowding positively affects shopping satisfaction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that a more legitimate and responsive state is an essential factor for a more adequate level of tax effort in developing countries and high income countries, and they extend the conventional tax effort by showing that demand factors such as corruption, voice and accountability also determine tax effort to a significant extent.
