Why Is Exclusivity in Broadcasting Rights Prevalent and Why Does Simple Regulation Fail?
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pay‐TV firms compete both downstream to attract viewers and upstream to acquire broadcasting rights. Because profits inherited from downstream competition satisfy a convexity property, allocating rights to the dominant firm maximizes the industry profit.

Rethinking the contract‐failure theory
American Business Law Journal, EarlyView.Abstract The contract‐failure theory posits that the nonprofit form can be an indicator of high product quality because the nondistribution constraint reduces the nonprofit manager's financial benefits from cheating. This would give nonprofits an advantage over for‐profit firms when consumers cannot determine product quality and thus explains ...

Topological Semantics and Decidability [PDF]
, 2007 It is well-known that the basic modal logic of all topological spaces is $S4$. However, the structure of basic modal and hybrid logics of classes of spaces satisfying various separation axioms was until present unclear. We prove that modal logics of $T_0$

Predicativity, the Russell-Myhill Paradox, and Church's Intensional Logic
, 2015 This paper sets out a predicative response to the Russell-Myhill paradox of propositions within the framework of Church's intensional logic. A predicative response places restrictions on the full comprehension schema, which asserts that every formula ...

Genomic Analysis of Inbreeding Depression on Productive Traits in Rubia Galega Beef Cattle Breed
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In autochthonous livestock breeds with small populations, such as the Rubia Galega from Galicia (Spain), mating between relatives is common and can lead to inbreeding depression. Genomic inbreeding coefficients were estimated for 4984 animals using ~63,000 SNPs to assess inbreeding depression in four key traits: age at first calving (AFC) with

Observer Dreams: Criteria and Frequency
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerous theories of dreaming consider embodied self‐representation and participation in dream events as key features. However, past studies suggest that the dream self is absent or an uninvolved observer in over 10% of adult REM dreams. Further, these dreams can be similarly elaborate and of comparable narrative structure to participatory ...

Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT It is a truism of mathematics that differences between isomorphic number systems are irrelevant to arithmetic. This truism is deeply rooted in the modern axiomatic method and underlies most strands of arithmetical structuralism, the view that arithmetic is about some abstract number structure.

Principle of Maximum Fisher Information from Hardy's Axioms Applied to Statistical Systems
, 2013 Consider a finite-sized, multidimensional system in parameter state a. The system is either at statistical equilibrium or general non-equilibrium, and may obey either classical or quantum physics. L.
