Waiting Time Prioritisation for Public and Private Providers: Evidence From Hip Replacement Surgery

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Waiting times for planned health care treatments have been increasing in England and other OECD countries. One policy to reduce the impact of waiting times on patients' health is for doctors to prioritise patients according to their health status. This study tests the extent to which publicly‐funded patients in poorer health are prioritised on

Adolescents' Experiences of Social Media Content Types and Wellbeing: A Photo‐Elicitation Interview Study

Journal of Adolescence, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adolescents' experiences of social media are increasingly shaped by algorithmic recommendation systems that structure repeated exposure to diverse content types. However, research has focused predominantly on screen time, with limited attention to the diverse types of content encountered within curated feeds or how these experiences

Refinement of the Jensen integral inequality

Open Mathematics, 2016
In this paper we give a refinement of Jensen’s integral inequality and its generalization for linear functionals. We also present some applications in Information Theory.

Identifying Peer Effects in Networks with Unobserved Effort and Isolated Students

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peer influence on effort devoted to some activity is often studied when effort is unobserved, and the researcher instead observes an outcome that combines effort with other shocks. For instance, in education, achievement measures such as GPA reflect both effort and idiosyncratic GPA shocks.

Bellman–Steffensen type inequalities

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2018
In this paper some Bellman–Steffensen type inequalities are generalized for positive measures. Using sublinearity of a class of convex functions and Jensen’s inequality, nonnormalized versions of Steffensen’s inequality are obtained.

Small Area Consumption Estimates Combining Survey and Financial Footprints Data

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate average equivalised consumption measures across 370 local authority districts in Great Britain, using small‐area estimation methods that combine information from a household budget survey, a much larger survey of local demographics and employment, and area‐level information on bank account outflows and energy consumption.

Improved Bounds for Integral Jensen’s Inequality Through Fifth-Order Differentiable Convex Functions and Applications

Axioms
The 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.

Regularity Estimates for Fully Nonlinear Dead‐Core Problems With a Hamiltonian Term

Mathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a problem involving fully nonlinear elliptic operators with Hamiltonian, which can present a singularity or degenerate as the gradient approaches the origin. The model studied here, allows the appearance of plateau zones, i.e., unknown regions of the domain in which the non‐negative solutions vanishes.

Grothendieck and ℓ∞$\ell _\infty$‐Grothendieck Subspaces of ℓ∞$\ell _\infty$

Mathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Let c=2ℵ0$\mathfrak {c}=2^{\aleph _0}$. We prove that ℓ∞$\ell _\infty$ contains 2c$2^{\mathfrak {c}}$ pairwise non‐isomorphic non‐reflexive Grothendieck subspaces. They may all be chosen to contain the canonical copy of c0$c_0$ and to have an infinite‐dimensional reflexive quotient. This is optimal and answers Problem 24 of González and Kania [

A Kantorovich Version of Bernstein‐Type Logarithmic Operators

Mathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we introduce a Kantorovich version of the Bernstein‐type logarithmic operators. The idea comes from the wide literature concerning exponential polynomials that preserve exponential functions: here, the exponential weights are replaced by logarithmic ones and the corresponding operators preserve the logarithmic functions.
