Income Inequality and the Real Exchange Rate [PDF]
In this paper I explore the effect of income inequality on the real exchange rate. I consider a version of the Salter-Swan model, where income inequality affects the real exchange rate through two general equilibrium channels: (i) the aggregation of ...

Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Evidence on the relationship between public health expenditure and health is mixed and particularly scarce for low‐income countries. Existing studies overlook the subnational distribution of expenditure and rarely distinguish between sources and governance over funding.

Identity and Redistribution [PDF]
This paper models the interaction between individuals' identity choices and redistribution. Both redistributive polices and identity choices are endogenous, and there might be multiple equilibria. The model is applied to ethnicity and social class. In an

A reversed Poincaré inequality for monotone functions
Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2000 Using a result of \textit{G. Talenti} [Ann. Mat. Pura Appl., IV. Ser. 110, 353-372 (1976; Zbl 0353.46018)] according to which the boundary value problem: \[ -{{d}\over{dx}}\left(\left |{{du}\over{dx}}\right |^{n-2}{{du}\over{dx}}\right) =\lambda |u|^{m-2}u, \;u'(0)=u(1)=0, \;u(0)=b>0, \;n>1,\;m\geq 1, \] has a unique positive solution if and only if \[

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.Abstract Background The extent to which children's psychological traits influence their educational performance is thought to depend on the fit between the individual and their developmental context. However, this assumption has yet to be empirically tested on a population scale.

A completely monotonic function involving the gamma and trigamma functions
Kuwait Journal of Science, 2016 In the paper the author provides necessary and sufficient conditions on $a$ for the function\begin{equation*}\frac{1}{2}\ln(2\pi)-x+\biggl(x-\frac{1}{2}\biggr)\ln x-\ln\Gamma(x)+\frac1{12}{\psi'(x+a)}\end{equation*}and its negative to be completely ...

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2014 This article deals with the global asymptotic stability problem for a class of neural networks with time-varying discrete and distributed delays. The activation functions are assumed to be neither monotonic nor differentiable, and two types of time ...

Source Coding for Quasiarithmetic Penalties
, 2006 Huffman coding finds a prefix code that minimizes mean codeword length for a given probability distribution over a finite number of items. Campbell generalized the Huffman problem to a family of problems in which the goal is to minimize not mean codeword

Spatiotemporal Changes in Precipitation Concentration in the Atlantic‐European Region
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study analyses changes in precipitation concentration using ERA5 and E‐OBS datasets. Gini index as a measure of precipitation concentration revealed a gradual expansion of areas with increasing unevenness in precipitation distribution across the Atlantic‐European region since 1961.
