Gerodontology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Oral diseases remain disproportionately prevalent among older adults. However, evidence on oral health inequalities among older adults remains dispersed across studies that have used different socioeconomic indicators and oral health measures and has not been synthesised.

When in Doubt, Tax More Progressively? Uncertainty and Progressive Income Taxation
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the optimal income tax problem under parameter uncertainty about household preferences and wage dynamics. We derive conditions characterizing how such uncertainty affects optimal tax policy. To quantify the effect, we estimate a life‐cycle model using US data and a Bayesian approach.

Pairwise Imitation and Tournament Graphs
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates strategic dynamics under the behavioral rule of pairwise interact and imitate (PII), which requires minimal information and emphasizes outperforming opponents in pairwise interactions. We characterize PII using weak tournament graphs and, for a broad class of dynamics, establish a one‐shot stability result for ...

These challenges are amplified for Muslim mothers, who must navigate intersecting social identities within these structures shaped by dominant masculine norms.

The Jensen inequality: Refinements and applications
Journal of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory, 1985 If I is a finite non-empty set of integers, \(f:[a,b]\to R,\) \(a_ i\in [a,b],\) \(w_ i>0,\) \(i\in I,\) \(W_ i=\sum_{i\in I}w_ i,\) \(F(I,f)=W_ If(\frac{1}{W_ I}\sum_{i\in I}w_ ia_ i)-\sum_{i\in I}w_ if(a_ i)\) then Jensen's inequality says that if f is convex, then \(F(I,f)\leq 0.\) Noting that if \(f\in C^ 2(a,b),\) \(m=\min f'',\) \(M=\max f ...
