Salient Rewards, Payoff Protocols and Biased Data
ABSTRACT Paying salient rewards to subjects is expensive. Is it worth it? We describe previous data from otherwise identical treatments with hypothetical or salient payoffs that indicate opposite conclusions about the central research question in a paper. If we are going to pay salient rewards, how should we? The answer depends on the theoretical model

Finite groups in Axiomatic Index Number Theory [PDF]
In this paper we adopt Group Theory to investigate the symmetry and invariance properties of price index numbers. An alternative treatment is given to the study of the reversibilty axioms, that clarifies their meaning and allows for a conceptual ...

This article revisits Goffman's original formulations of stigma. In doing so, the discussion focuses, specifically, upon his emphasis that a “language of relationships, not attributes is needed.” The analysis is intended to demonstrate how Goffman's observations offer a starting point for an inquiry in to just how members produce and orient to “spoiled

An Innovative Approach to Multi‐Valued Logic
The current generation of computer systems operates on the principles of binary logic, which encompasses both logical and arithmetic operations. However, silicon technology has reached its peak performance, prompting researchers to explore alternative methods for enhancing computational efficiency. One such method is the adoption of Multi‐Valued Logic (

Risk factors for dental overgrowth in rabbits: A retrospective study using electronic health records
Abstract Background Rabbits’ teeth grow continuously. Overgrown teeth are a frequent cause for veterinary consultation and can have severe welfare implications. The risk factors for overgrown teeth are incompletely understood. Methods Rabbits with overgrown teeth recorded in their electronic health records (EHRs) were identified from a large population

ABSTRACT In agriculture, production technologies are often characterised by non‐linearities and stochastic dependence between outputs, particularly between desirable and undesirable outputs. This paper combines the copula‐based semi‐parametric framework for modelling heterogeneous dependence with the by‐production stochastic frontier approach and ...
