A model is presented to predict the fluid and solid temperatures in a packed bed thermal energy storage vessel using compressed gas as heat transfer fluid (HTF). The model is compared to data from an experimental vessel that is 10′ tall with a 2.25″ storage diameter filled with 6mm diameter...

Asset pricing theorists have recently started to study the market impact of differences in beliefs among participants. The analysis is often carried out in the framework of Radner's perfect foresight ('rational expectations') equilibrium. Here, we study when this makes sense. In particular, we...

We study information aggregation in financial markets. We introduce two new stability concepts: absolute stability (sensitivity of rational expectations equilibrium prices to signals (bits) that are lost or garbled), and relative stability (the difference between prices in the rational...
