It draws on materials from Bahrain, Muscat, Bombay, Zanzibar and London to examine how members of an ocean-wide commercial society constructed relationships of economic mutualism with one another by mobilizing debt and credit. It further explores how they expressed their debt relationships through legal idioms, and how they mobilized commercial and legal instruments to adapt to the emergence of modern capitalism in the region.

  • Michelin to Make Playstation's Gran
    PRESS INFORMATION NEW YORK, Aug. 23, 2019 — PlayStation has selected Michelin as “official tire technology partner” for its Gran Turismo franchise, the best and most authentic driving game, the companies announced today at the PlayStation Theater on Broadway. Under the multi-year agreement, Michelin also becomes “official tire supplier” of FIA Certified Gran Turismo Championships, with Michelin-branded tires featured in the game during its third World Tour live event also in progress at PlayStation Theater throughout the weekend. The relationship begins by increasing Michelin’s visibility through free downloadable content on Gran Turismo Sport available to users by October 2019. The Michelin-themed download will feature for the first time: . A new Michelin section on the Gran Turismo Sport “Brand Central” virtual museum, which introduces players to Michelin’s deep history in global motorsports, performance and innovation. Tire technology by Michelin available in the “Tuning” section of Gran Turismo Sport, applicable to the game’s established hard, medium and soft formats. On-track branding elements and scenography from many of the world’s most celebrated motorsports competitions and venues. In 1895, the Michelin brothers entered a purpose-built car in the Paris-Bordeaux-Paris motor race to prove the performance of air-filled tires. Since that storied race, Michelin has achieved a record of innovation and ultra-high performance in the most demanding and celebrated racing competitions around the world, including 22 consecutive overall wins at the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans and more than 330 FIA World Rally Championship victories. Through racing series such as FIA World Endurance Championship, FIA World Rally Championship, FIA Formula E and International Motor Sports Association series in the U.S., Michelin uses motorsports as a laboratory to collect vast amounts of real-world data that power its industry-leading models and simulators for tire development.

To each and every one of you, thank you. Abstract Nowadays one way of subjective evaluation of games is through game reviews. These are critical analysis, aiming to give information about the quality of the games. While the experience of playing a game is inherently personal and different for each player, current approaches to the evaluation of this experience do not take into account the individual characteristics of each player. We firmly believe game review scores should take into account the personality of the player. To verify this, we created a game review system, using multiple machine learning algorithms, to give multiple reviews for different personalities which allow us to give a more holistic perspective of a review score, based on multiple and distinct players' profiles.

  • Online Retailing, Big Box Stores, and the Rise of Restaurants*
    The Recent Evolution of Physical Retail Markets: Online Retailing, Big Box Stores, and the Rise of Restaurants* Francine Lafontaine and Jagadeesh Sivadasan Ross School of Business, University of Michigan This draft: December 16, 2019 Preliminary draft – Please do not circulate, comments welcome Abstract We examine changes in the retail sector in the US over the period 1999 to 2017, a period during which new technologies and forms of competition have been associated with what has been dubbed a “retail apocalypse” in the trade press and beyond. Consistent with this notion of “retail apocalypse,” we begin by confirming a sizable decline in the number of establishments in the retail sector defined per the currently used NAICS classification scheme. We further document a strong increase in e-commerce sales from nonstore retailers, and find suggestive evidence that sectors experiencing greater penetration of e-commerce exhibited larger relative decline in sales, number of physical stores, employment, and total payroll. However, the growth of Big Box stores (NAICS 45291), the second main factor often blamed for the reduction in number of retail establishments, flattened starkly after 2009, and we find that changes in other retail activity in a county is, on average, positively correlated with increases in the presence of Big Box stores. Moreover, despite the documented lower number of physical stores in 2017 compared to the start of the period, we find that both employment levels, real sales, real value added and real payroll of brick and mortar
