PROPERTIES OF THE HISTOGRAM LOCATION APPROACH AND THE EXTENT AND CHANGE OF DOWNWARD NOMINAL WAGE RIGIDITY IN THE EU

Properties of the histogram location approach and the extent and change of downward nominal wage rigidity in the EU

The histogram location approach has been new belial model proposed by Kahn (1997) to estimate the fraction of wage cuts prevented by downward nominal wage rigidity.In this paper, we analyze the validity of the approach by means of a simulation study which yielded evidence of unbiasedness but also of potential underestimation of rigidity parameter u

Sphingomyelin encrypts tissue factor: ATP-induced activation of A-SMase leads to tissue factor decryption and microvesicle shedding

Abstract: A majority of tissue factor (TF) on navy drapery fabric cell surfaces exists in an encrypted state with minimal to no procoagulant activity.At present, it is unclear whether limited availability of phosphatidylserine (PS) and/or a specific membrane lipid in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane contributes to TF encryption.Sphingomyeli
