How have suicide rates responded to the marked increase in unemployment spurred by Great Recession? Our paper puts this issue into a wider perspective assessing (1) whether unemployment-suicide link is modified degree of protection, and (2) effect on present crisis differs from effects previous economic downturns.We analysed using time-series data for 30 countries spanning period 1960-2012. Separate fixed-effects models were estimated each five welfare state regimes with different levels...

We examine to what extent immigrant school performance is affected by the characteristics of neighborhoods that they grow up in. address this issue using a refugee place ment policy provides exogenous variation in initial residence Sweden. The main result increasing number highly educated adults sharing subject's ethnicity. A standard deviation increase fraction high-educated assigned neighborhood raises compulsory GPA 0.8 percentile ranks. Particularly for disadvantaged groups, there are...

Significance One of the most fundamental predictions almost any model crime is that individual time preferences matter. However, empirical evidence on this basic property essentially nonexistent. We empirically investigate whether discounting measured at age 13 predicts subsequent criminal involvement up to 31. show significantly activity and high discount rates predict more strongly extensive margin rather than for total crime. The link much stronger among males with low intelligence.

Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) is a promising substrate for electronics packaging. In this paper, the high frequency characteristics of LCP were investigated using microstrip ring resonator to verify possibility applying material in RF The relative dielectric constant and loss tangent have been measured. radiation considered accurately determine tangent. A GaAs MMIC switch circuit was fabricated as demonstrate application system-in-a-package. From measurements, it shown that has low range from...

We study the impact of lead exposure from birth to adulthood and provide evidence on mechanisms producing these effects. Following 800,000 children differentially exposed phaseout leaded gasoline in Sweden, we find that even a low affects long-run outcomes, boys are more affected, changes noncognitive skills explain sizeable share crime human capital. The effects greater above thresholds still relevant for general population, reductions equivalent magnitude recent redefinition elevated blood...

Experimental results are presented using quantum-barrier-varactor (QBV) diodes in harmonic multipliers. Output powers and tripler conversion efficiencies of more than 2 mW 5%, respectively, were achieved between 210 280 GHz. In a crude experiment, an efficiency 0.2% for the fifth was measured at 310 The values QBV diode as comparable to state-of-the-art Schottky-varactor triplers. experimental agree well with theoretical calculations.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...

We estimate the causal effects of parental incarceration on children’s short- and long-run outcomes using administrative data from Sweden. Our empirical strategy exploits exogenous variation in random assignment criminal defendants to judges with different tendencies. find that a parent childhood leads significant increase teen crime decreases educational attainment adult employment. The are concentrated among children most disadvantaged families, where convictions by 10 percentage points,...

Theoretical work on single barrier varactor (SBV) diodes indicates that the efficiency of a tripler with SBV diode has maximum for considerably smaller capacitance variation than previously thought. based GaAs, InGaAs and InAs have been fabricated their DC properties tested. Detailed modeling carrier transport device is carried out in two steps. First, semiconductor equations are solved simultaneously, using finite difference scheme one dimension. Second, calculated I-V C-V characteristics...

A quantum-well QW diode frequency tripler with greater than 1.2% efficiency and 0.8 mW output power at about 250 GHz has been developed. comparison between the experimental results theoretically calculated for a using such is made.

This paper investigates the relationship between time preferences and lifetime social economic behavior. We use a Swedish longitudinal dataset that links information from large survey on children's at age 13 to administrative registers spanning over five decades. Our results indicate substantial adverse high discount rates school performance, health, labor supply, income. Males ability children gain significantly more being future-oriented. These discrepancies are largest regarding outcomes...

Electronic monitoring (EM) has emerged as a popular tool for curbing the growth of large prison populations. Evidence on causal effects EM criminal recidivism is, however, limited and it is unclear how this alternative to incarceration affects labor supply offenders outcomes their family members. We study countrywide expansion in Sweden 1997 wherein sentenced up three months were granted option substitute with EM. Our difference-in-differences estimates, which compare change inflow rate...

InGaAs-InAlAs single-barrier varactor (SBV) diodes are tested as frequency quintuplers. The were in a crossed-waveguide structure and provided output frequencies between 148 187 GHz. highest observed flange-to-flange efficiency was 0.78% at an of 172 This is nearly four times greater than the best quintupler obtained for previous SBV varactors made from GaAs-AlGaAs materials system.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Abstract Quantum‐well diodes have been used for generating power at millimeter and submillimeter waves, both in negative resistance oscillators multipliers. In this article, we will first discuss the versus frequency maximum of oscillation “ordinary” quantum‐well oscillators. Possible methods improving output be suggested. diode multipliers also discussed. Realizing importance nonlinear capacitance quantumwell multiplier efficiency, investigated a quantum‐barrier applications.
