Some bounds for skewed α-Jensen-Shannon divergence

open access: yesResults in Applied Mathematics, 2019
Based on the skewed Kullback-Leibler divergence introduced in the natural language processing, we derive the upper and lower bounds on the skewed version of the Jensen-Shannon divergence and investigate properties of them.

Approximate Hermite-Hadamard inequality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The main results of this paper offer sufficient conditions in order that an approximate lower Hermite-Hadamard type inequality imply an approximate Jensen convexity property.

Capital and the Family

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Some New Improvements for Fractional Hermite–Hadamard Inequalities by Jensen–Mercer Inequalities

open access: yesJournal of Function Spaces
This article’s objective is to introduce a new double inequality based on the Jensen–Mercer JM inequality, known as the Hermite–Hadamard–Mercer inequality. We use the JM inequality to build a number of generalized trapezoid-type inequalities.

On Some Refinements of Jensen's Inequality

open access: yesJournal of Approximation Theory, 1998
The authors use reverse martingale techniques based on \(U\)-statistics to provide refinements of Jensen's inequality and improvements of some existing inequalities in analysis and approximation theory. A link is established with the subject of sampling with probability proportional to size, which in turn shows how to provide further refinements of the

Estimating Causal Effects With Observational Data: Guidelines for Agricultural and Applied Economists

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesAccounting &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 ...

Sobolev regularity and an enhanced Jensen inequality

open access: yes, 2007
We derive a new criterion for a real-valued function $u$ to be in the Sobolev space $W^{1,2}(\R^n)$. This criterion consists of comparing the value of a functional $\int f(u)$ with the values of the same functional applied to convolutions of $u$ with a ...

Mitigating tough times? How material self‐interest influences citizens' welfare state behavior

open access: yesAmerican 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.
