Algoritmos de relaxação dinâmica adaptativa para a análise elastoplástica de estruturas tridimensionais
… analysis, considering plasticity and large displacement effects. Finally sorne examples of application are given to show the performance of the suggested algorithms.

Studies on counterflow diffusion flames
… flow boundary conditions. Furthermore, the displacement effects of one dimensional counterflow diffusion flames in an infinite domain are studied by solving the governing boundary value problem numerically using Newton's method with a well defined analytical Jacobian. Based on the numerical …

Econometric Analysis of Labour Market Interventions
… only present for males, and we find evidence of displacement effects amongst the non-targeted group. The third essay examines a set of Graduate Retention Programs that several Canadian provinces offer. These programs are aimed at mitigating future skill shortages. Once the solution proposed in …

An analysis method for the viscous/inviscid flow around two dimensional multi-element aerofoils including surface roughness effects
… panels to represent the aerofoil. Boundary layer effects are included in the calculation by utilizing linear distributions of sources on the panels to model the displacement effects due to the boundary layer. Boundary layer development is calculated using Thwaites' method for the laminar portion …

Pipe-Soil Interaction on a Clay Seabed
… in interface conditions, large strain and large displacement effects, soil unit weight effects and variation in shear strength conditions were considered in these problem definitions. Reliability based analysis techniques have also been used to investigate both V and V-H loading problem …

Reducing turbulence- and transition-driven uncertainty in aerothermodynamic heating predictions for blunt-bodied reentry vehicles
… (J. Fluid Mech. 414 (2000)). Small or negative displacement effects are evident. Uncertainty estimates and Favre-averaged equation budgets are provided. A second study aimed to reduce transition-driven uncertainty by determining where on the thermal protection system surface the boundary layer …

Three Essays on Labor Supply in China
… we estimate the possible employment and earnings displacement effects of rural-to-urban migration on urban residents by exploiting regional variation in the rural migrant share of education-experience cells. We use multiple sets of instrumental variable to address the potential endogeneity …

Essays on the economic and political effects of immigration
… of three chapters on the economic and political effects of in-migration. In the first chapter, I show that political opposition to immigration can arise even when immigrants bring significant economic prosperity to receiving areas. I exploit exogenous variation in European immigration to US …

Targeting one Attitude to Change Another: Lateral Attitude Change as a Mechanism to Indirectly Influence Evaluations of Products, Policies, and Values
… of lateral topics. This process is called displacement. The LAC-model further specifies several concepts (e.g., similarity, preference for consistency, and hierarchy) that are assumed to moderate LAC. In Part I of the present research, I was able to present evidence indicating that focal …

Start-up subsidies for the unemployed - New evaluation approaches and insights
… subsidy has significant positive and persistent effects on both reintegration into the labor market as well as the income profiles of participants, in line with previous evidence on comparable German and international programs, which emphasizes the general potential of start-up incentives as part …

Essays in Financial Economics and Econometrics
… the objective is to estimate the distributional effects of interventions. It is used here to quantify the heterogeneous wage effects of a major environmental disaster. The first chapter (joint with Luis Alvarez and Thiago Christiano Silva) studies how modern monetary policy tools, which …
