Flexible Indian Labor: Yoga, Information Technology Migration, and U.S. Technoculture - eScholarship
2020Co-Authors: Shameem BlackAbstract:In today’s United States, yoga seems to provide a popular antidote to the increasing demands of technology. But, this essay contends, the practice also plays an important part in a larger cultural logic whereby labor from India nourishes a seemingly endless appetite for technological innovation in the United States. This essay shows how imaginative representations of yoga in the autobiography of the Indian guru Paramahansa Yogananda helped to create fantasies that could alleviate U.S. anxieties about technological development. The essay then exposes an inverted mirror of this cultural logic in the representation of information technology migrants from India, whose experiences of Grey Market exploitation in the United States show the nation’s reliance on a disavowed Indian labor source. This essay contends that both the Indian yogi and the Indian technology migrant can be read as U.S. technology workers. This labor has become important both to the U.S. body politic and to the Indian state, but it can be distinctly debilitating for the Indian diaspora.

Investor Sentiment and Pre-IPO Markets
Journal of Finance, 2006Co-Authors: Francesca Cornelli, David Goldreich, Alexander LjungqvistAbstract:We examine whether irrational behavior among small (retail) investors drives post-IPO prices. We use prices from the Grey Market (the when-issued Market that precedes European IPOs) to proxy for small investors' valuations. High Grey Market prices (indicating overoptimism) are a very good predictor of first-day afterMarket prices, while low Grey Market prices (indicating excessive pessimism) are not. Moreover, we find long-run price reversal only following high Grey Market prices. This asymmetry occurs because larger (institutional) investors can choose between keeping the shares they are allocated in the IPO, and reselling them when small investors are overoptimistic.

Pre-Ipo Markets
2003Co-Authors: Francesca Cornelli, Alexander Ljungqvist, David GoldreichAbstract:This paper develops a model of IPOs in which book building and a Grey Market (i.e. a when-issued Market) take place simultaneously. While book building contains information about the fundamental value of the issue and is kept confidential, the Grey Market reflects the opinion of retail investors and is publicly observed. We show that when the Grey Market price is high relative to the fundamental value the underwriter will set the offer price close to the Grey Market price, but when the Grey Market price is low, he will set the offer price based on the fundamentals. This creates an asymmetry in the issue price and the afterMarket price relative to the Grey Market. We test the empirical implications of the model using data from Grey Market prices for European IPOs.

peakal protons i have known and loved too another fifty shades of Grey Market spectra
BLOTTER, 2018Co-Authors: Stephen J ChapmanAbstract:1H NMR spectra of 43 alleged psychedelic tryptamines (2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethan-1-amines) and benzofuran analogues (2-(1-benzofuran-3-yl)ethan-1-amines) from Grey-Market internet vendors across North America and Europe were acquired and compared. Tryptamines having mono- or di- alkyl, cyclopropyl, or allyl amine substituents and/or substitution of the indole/benzofuran ring by acetyloxy, hydroxy, methoxy, or methyl groups were analysed. 1H NMR spectra for some of these compounds have not been previously reported to my knowledge. The spectrum of each analyte is consistent with the compound as labelled and sold. None of the analytes was found to be unequivocally misrepresented. This collection of experimentally uniform spectra may help forensic and harm-reduction organizations identify these compounds, some of which appear only sporadically. The complete spectra are provided as supplementary data.

peakal protons i have known and loved fifty shades of Grey Market spectra
BLOTTER, 2015Co-Authors: Stephen J Chapman, Arabo A AvanesAbstract:H NMR spectra of 28 alleged psychedelic phenylethanamines from 15 Grey-Market internet vendors across North America and Europe were acquired and compared. Members from each of the principal phenylethanamine families were analyzed: eleven parasubstituted 2,5-dimethoxyphenylethanamines (the 2C and 2C-T series); four para-substituted 3,5-dimethoxyphenylethanamines (mescaline analogues); two β-substituted phenylethanamines; and ten N-substituted phenylethanamines with a 2-methoxybenzyl (NBOMe), 2-hydroxybenzyl (NBOH), or 2,3-methylenedioxybenzyl (NBMD) amine moiety. H NMR spectra for some of these compounds have not been previously reported to our knowledge. Others have reported on the composition of “mystery pills,” single-dose formulations obtained from retail shops and websites. We believe this is the first published survey of bulk “research chemicals” Marketed and sold as such. Only one analyte was unequivocally misrepresented. This collection of experimentally uniform spectra may help forensic and harm-reduction organizations identify these compounds, some of which appear only sporadically. The complete spectra are provided as supplementary data.
