Assessing the Potential Impacts of Innovative New Policy Proposals on Poverty in the United States

RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences, 2018
This article provides estimates of the potential anti-­poverty impacts of eight proposals presented in this double issue of RSF. Using the 2016 Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey and the Census Bureau and Bureau of ...

Inequality and Crime [PDF]

Review of Economics and Statistics, 2000
This paper considers the relationship between inequality and crime using data from urban counties. The behavior of property and violent crime are quite different. Inequality has no effect on property crime but a strong and robust impact on violent crime, with an elasticity above 0.5.

Experimental Test of the Three‐Setting Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt Inequality with Nonmaximally Orbital Angular Momentum Entangled States

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Herein, the maximum violation of the three‐setting Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt (CHSH) inequality using nonmaximally entangled photons with orbital angular momentum is demonstrated. By mapping the optimization problem to maximizing a triangle's perimeter inscribed in an ellipse, the experiment validates the geometric approach and highlights the ...

How Factorial Survey Analysis Improves Our Understanding of Employer Preferences

Swiss Journal of Sociology, 2019
Factorial Survey Analysis (FSA) is an analytical tool that presents respondents with fictional situations (“vignettes”) to be rated or judged. In this paper we study the use of FSA in labour market sociology, with a particular focus on employer-based ...

A Renter’s Tax Credit to Curtail the Affordable Housing Crisis

RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences, 2018
To address the housing affordability crisis for low-income Americans, we argue for a refundable renter’s tax credit. The proposed credit would be delivered through the tax code, reach a broad segment of renters, and target those with high housing cost ...

Analytic inequalities, isoperimetric inequalities and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities

Journal of Functional Analysis, 1985
The well known equivalence of the Sobolev inequality and the isoperimetric inequality can be substantially generalized to set up an equivalence of certain other analytic inequalities with geometric inequalities involving Riemannian volume and surface measure.

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Performance of probable dementia classification in a European multi-country survey

Scientific Reports
Feasibility constraints limit availability of validated cognitive assessments in observational studies. Algorithm-based identification of ‘probable dementia’ is thus needed, but no algorithm developed so far has been applied in the European context.

Reconciling Consumption Inequality with Income Inequality [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013
The rise in within-group consumption inequality in response to the increase in within-group income inequality over the last three decades in the U.S. is puzzling to expected-utility-based incomplete market models. The two-sided lack of commitment models exhibit too little consumption inequality while the standard incomplete markets models tend to ...

Quantum‐Inspired Fourier Transforms Based on Circuits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An analog scheme of classical circuit for the quantum Fourier transform is proposed. The number of the basic computing components employed in the circuit design is consistent with the number of the quantum gate in the quantum circuit. The information is encoded using correlated electrical signals.
