Zheng Liu, Daniel F. Waggoner, Tao Zha
This study explores theoretical and macroeconomic implications of the self-confirming equilibrium in a standard growth model. When rational expectations are replaced by adaptive expectations, we...
Sources of the Great Moderation: Shocks, Frictions, or Monetary Policy?
Zheng Liu, Daniel F. Waggoner, Tao Zha
We study the sources of the Great Moderation by estimating a variety of medium-scale DSGE models that incorporate regime switches in shock variances and in the inflation target. The best-fit model,...
Do Nominal Rigidities Matter for the Transmission of Technology Shocks?
A commonly held view is that nominal rigidities are important for the transmission of monetary policy shocks. We argue that they are also important for understanding the dynamic effects of technology...
Health Risk Analysis of Heating Fuel Choice: Case Study in Kentucky
Liu, Zheng, Pagoulatos, Angelos, Hu, Wuyang
Combustion-generated pollutants, principally those from solid-fuel including biomass and coal when cooking and heating, bring out a significant public health hazard predominantly affecting poor rural...

Sources of the Great Moderation: shocks, frictions, or monetary policy?
Zheng Liu, Daniel F. Waggoner, Tao Zha
We study the sources of the Great Moderation by estimating a variety of medium-scale dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models that incorporate regime switches in shock variances and the...

Surface display of the active proteins on living cells has enormous potential in the degradation of numerous toxic compounds. Here, we report the codisplay of organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) and...
Wang, Xiao Qin, Yang, Ping Fang, Liu, Zheng, Liu, Wei Zhong, Hu, Yong, Chen, Hui, ...
The moss Physcomitrella patens has been shown to tolerate abiotic stresses, including salinity, cold, and desiccation. To better understand this plant's mechanism of desiccation tolerance, we have...
Responses and tolerance to salt stress in bryophytes
Wang, Xiaoqin, Liu, Zheng, He, Yikun
During exposure to salt environments, plants could perceive salt signal and transmit the signal to cellular machinery to activate adaptive responses. In bryophytes, salt signal components and...
Inhibitory short synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides and lupus
B cells and antigen-presenting cells express a group of intracellular Toll-like receptors (TLRs) that recognize nucleic acids and can be accessed only when apoptotic debris or immune complexes are...
Research on focal nodular hyperplasia with MSCT and postprocessing
Liu, Yuan-Jian, Fan, Wei-Jun, Yuan, Zhi-Dong, Liu, Peng-Cheng, Wang, Chun-Rong, Yan, Wei-Qiang, ...
AIM: To investigate and evaluate the pathological features and diagnostic value of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) with multi-section spiral computed tomography (MSCT) and postprocessing.
Structural and Functional Characterization of Ryanodine Receptor-Natrin Toxin Interaction
Zhou, Qiang, Wang, Qiong-Ling, Meng, Xing, Shu, Yuyan, Jiang, Tao, Wagenknecht, Terence, ...
Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPs) are widely distributed, and notably occur in the mammalian reproductive tract and in the salivary glands of venomous reptiles. Most CRISPs can inhibit ion...
