Inflation Inequality Across Household Income Groups in Brazil: Persistence, Trend and Volatility

The Manchester School, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article investigates inflation inequality across four income strata in Brazil (very low, low, middle, and high income) from July 2006 to April 2025, using the Headline IPCA as a benchmark. We test the hypothesis that inflation dynamics and transmission mechanisms are structurally unequal and disproportionately affect lower‐income ...

Blankness in post‐post‐postmodern poetry

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract Jameson's “myth” identifies reification as the leading cause of cultural change. The myth also adumbrates the semiotic form of post‐postmodernism and post‐post‐postmodernism, which Jameson himself did not explore. One of the most extreme varieties of post‐post‐postmodern verse is the would‐be blank poem, pursued by Russian Futurists, Lettrists,

Education, Inequality and Income Inequality [PDF]

In this paper we propose to measure inequality of educational achievements by constructing a Gini index on educational attainments. We then use the proposed measure to analyse the relationship between inequality in incomes and educational achievements ...

Epistocracy and the Commitment Problem

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The epistocracy debate has turned largely on the character of the electorate—what voters know, whether competence filters can be designed well, and what filtered selection produces. Another strand has focused on the legitimacy of epistocratic justifications. I ask instead about the equilibrium effects of the institution.

Estimating Components in Finite Mixtures and Hidden Markov Models [PDF]

When the unobservable Markov chain in a hidden Markov model is stationary the marginal distribution of the observations is a finite mixture with the number of terms equal to the number of the states of the Markov chain.

Modelling the profitability of credit cards by Markov decision processes

, 2009
This paper derives a model for the profitability of credit cards, which allow lenders to find the optimal dynamic credit limit policy. The model is a Markov decision process, where the states of the system are based on the borrower's behavioural score ...
