Patent statistics represent a critical tool for scholars, statisticians and policy makers interested in innovation and intellectual property rights. Many analyses are based on heterogeneous methods delineating the inventors’ or firms’ patent portfolios wit ...
This paper asks how much liveness a transactional memory (TM) implementation can guarantee. We first devise a formal framework for reasoning about liveness properties of TMs. Then, we prove that the strongest liveness property that a TM can ensure in an as ...

This paper constructs an intellectual property rights (IPR) index based on the World Trade Organization's Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement for 53 developing countries. TRIPS agreement attempts to standardize the minim ...
We characterize the fairness of decentralized medium access control protocols based on CSMA/CA, such as IEEE 802.11, in large multi-hop wireless networks. In particular, we show that the widely observed unfairness of the protocol in small network topologie ...

Holt and Klee have recently shown that every (generic) LP orientation of the graph of a d-polytope satisfies a directed version of the d-connectivity property, i.e. there are d internally disjoint directed paths from a unique source to a unique sink. We in ...
The first chapter of this thesis, coauthored with Annamaria Conti, seeks to add an economic contribution to the current debate on using university licensing contracts to improve access to medicines in developing countries. We build a simple model in which ...
Because they provide exclusive property rights, patents are generally considered to be an effective way to promote intellectual discovery. Here, we propose a different compensation scheme, in which everyone holds shares in the components of potential disco ...
By the year 2016 every member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) has to comply with its agreement on the protection of intellectual property rights (IPR), Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS or the Agreement). This implies that ...
A new property of B-p(G), permits to obtain an approximation theorem for p-convolution operators and a non-commutative version of the Lohoues monomorphism theorem concerning the norm closure of the set of all p-convolution operators with compact support. ( ...
