'Is it the weather?' (2004)

Jacobsen, B., Marquering, W.

We show that results in the recent strand of the literature that tries to explain stock returns by weather induced mood shifts of investors might be data-driven inference. More specifically, we...

The relevance of gene transfer to the safety of food and feed derived from genetically modified (GM) plants (2004)

Aarts, H.J.M., Buhk, H.J., Corthier, G., Flint, H.J., Hammes, W., ...

Striking Oil: Another Puzzle (2003)

Driesprong, G., Jacobsen, B., Maat, B.

We find that changes in oil prices strongly predict future stock market returns in many countries in the world. In our thirty year sample of monthly data for developed stock markets, we find...

An Optical Ultra-High-Resolution Cross-dispersed Echelle Spectrograph with Adaptive Optics (2002)

Ge, Jian, Angel, J. R. P., Jacobsen, B., Woolf, N., Fugate, R. Q., Black, J. H.

A prototype cross-dispersed optical echelle spectrograph of very high resolution has been designed and built at Steward Observatory and tested at the Starfire Optical Range (SOR) 1.5 m telescope. It...

Simultaneous measurements of propagation characteristics on noncontiguous HF channels (2001)

Smith, O. J., Angling, M. J., Cannon, P. S., Jodalen, V., Jacobsen, B., Gronnerud, O. K.

An experiment to investigate the relationship between channel characteristics on noncontiguous HF channels has been run on an HF path in Norway. Initial results from a limited 3 kHz bandwidth data...

(In)accuracy of a political stockmarket: the influence of common value structures (2000)
