Comparison Between Bayesian and Frequentist Tail Probability Estimates
, 2019 In this paper, we investigate the reasons that the Bayesian estimator of the tail probability is always higher than the frequentist estimator. Sufficient conditions for this phenomenon are established both by using Jensen's Inequality and by looking at ...

A variant of Jensen’s inequality of Mercer’s type for operators with applications
, 2006 A variant of Jensen's operator inequality for convex functions, which is a generalization of Mercer's result, is proved. Obtained result is used to prove a monotonicity property for Mercer's power means for operators, and a comparison theorem for quasi ...

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How are capital and the family interconnected in contemporary capitalism? In this article, we argue that they come together in owning relations. By owning capital across generations, families bridge the temporal gap between the durability of capital and the finite lifespan of private property holders and thus resolve the problem of bona ...

AxiomsThe main objective of this research is to obtain interesting estimates for Jensen’s gap in the integral sense, along with their applications. The convexity of a fifth-order absolute function is used to established proposed estimates of Jensen’s gap.

A companion inequality to Jensen's inequality
, 1981 f is strictly convex if, in addition, whenever a,x, -t a2x2 is strictly between x, and x2, f(a,x, + a24 < aIf + azf(x2>If f is convex, it is continuous; its left and right derivatives, f L and f’+, exist, are finite, and are non-decreasing; f L < f ...

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Most research questions in agricultural and applied economics are causal in nature: they study how changes in one or more variables (such as policies, prices or weather) affect one or more other variables (e.g., income, crop yields or pollution).

Tax Planning Under Pressure: The Impact of Carbon Emissions Management Post‐Paris Agreement
Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine how the Paris Agreement affects corporate tax planning across a global data set. We find that emissions‐reducing firms are associated with higher levels of tax planning than nonemissions‐reducing firms. The effect is stronger for firms facing tighter cost pass‐through constraints, such as operating in more competitive markets, with ...

Mitigating tough times? How material self‐interest influences citizens' welfare state behavior
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract It is a long‐standing view that citizens support the welfare state because it provides insurance against future income losses. However, existing studies have struggled to isolate the effect of future‐oriented material self‐interest from normative and political predispositions.

On Logarithmic Convexity for Differences of Power Means
Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2007 We proved a new and precise inequality between the differences of power means. As a consequence, an improvement of Jensen's inequality and a converse of Holder's inequality are obtained.

Globalization, internal migration, and public goods provision in emerging economies
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Globalization can introduce new employment opportunities to emerging economies in multinational corporations and exporting firms. Who is best positioned to benefit, and what are the political consequences for “left behind” areas? We argue that primarily advantaged groups seize these opportunities through internal migration toward centers of ...
