- Dispersion of Cardiac Action Potential Duration and the Initiation of Re-Entry: A Computational Study
- The initiation of re-entrant cardiac arrhythmias is associated with increased dispersion of repolarisation, but the details are difficult to investigate either experimentally or clinically. The paper uses a computational model of cardiac tissue to study systematically the association between action potential duration APD dispersion and susceptibility to re-entry. The paper...

- Income Dispersion, Asymmetric Information And Fluctuations In Market Efficiency
- The idea that information frictions amplify business cycles is hard to evaluate be-cause information is not easily measured. We propose a quantifiable information friction that amplifies output fluctuations. In our simple model of decentralized trade, income dispersion measures uncertainty about buyer characteristics. Counter-cyclical income dispersion makes the asymmetric information friction...

- The Relationships Among Organizational Context, Pay Dispersion, and Managerial Turnover
- There is relatively little research explaining observed differences in dispersion across organizations and whether those observed differences have consequences for employee behaviors. Using data from two managerial compensation samples, this article finds that an organization's context-its environment and diversification strategy-is related to differences in pay dispersion across firms. It also...

- Recessions are times when markets function less efficiently. This phenomenon is usually the domain of theories that rely on changes in preferences demand shocks or constraints on price-setting sticky prices. In our simple model of decentralized trade with counter-cyclical income dispersion, optimal prices rise in recessions, reducing trade volume. Unlike...
