This paper investigates whether inflation series are mean-reverting. Traditional unit root tests (ADF and KPSS tests) are conducted in the paper. These tests indicate that inflation contains a unit root. It is however well-known that traditional unit root tests have difficulties to distinguish between a unit root process and a fractionally integrated process. Hence, in this thesis, fractional inte

In this paper we provide new evidence showing that fair behavior is intuitive to most people. We find a strong association between a short response time and fair behavior in the dictator game. This association is robust to controls that take account of the fact that response time might be affected by the decision-maker’s cognitive ability and swiftness. The experiment was conducted with a large an

Different types of biogenic remains, ranging from siliceous algae to carbonate precipitates, accumulate in the sediments of lakes and other aquatic ecosystems. Unicellular algae called diatoms, which form a siliceous test or frustule, are an ecologically and biogeochemically important group of organisms in aquatic environments and are often preserved in lake or marine sediments. When diatoms accum
