Stochastic Monotonicity and Realizable Monotonicity [PDF]
The Annals of Probability, 2001 We explore and relate two notions of monotonicity, stochastic and realizable, for a system of probability measures on a common finite partially ordered set (poset) S when the measures are indexed by another poset A. We give counterexamples to show that the two notions are not always equivalent, but for various large classes of S we also present ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017 This paper defines and analyzes a new monotonicity condition for the identification of counterfactuals and treatment effects in unordered discrete choice models with multiple treatments, heterogenous agents and discrete-valued instruments. Unordered monotonicity implies and is implied by additive separability of choice of treatment equations in terms ...

Theoretical Economics, 2022 We develop a framework for deriving dynamic monotonicity results in long‐term stochastic contracting problems with symmetric information. Specifically, we construct a notion of concave separable activity that encompasses many prevalent contractual components (e.g., wage, effort, level of production, etc.). We then provide a tight condition

Monotone Confounding, Monotone Treatment Selection and Monotone Treatment Response [PDF]
Journal of Causal Inference, 2014 AbstractManski (Monotone treatment response. Econometrica 1997;65:1311–34) and Manski and Pepper (Monotone instrumental variables: with an application to the returns to schooling. Econometrica 2000;68:997–1010) gave sharp bounds on causal effects under the assumptions of monotone treatment response (MTR) and monotone treatment selection (MTS ...

On the Monotonicity of Process Number [PDF]
Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2013 Graph searching games involve a team of searchers that aims at capturing a fugitive in a graph. These games have been widely studied for their relationships with the tree-and the path-decomposition of graphs. In order to define de-compositions for directed graphs, similar games have been proposed in directed graphs.

Mathematische Annalen, 2010 We estimate the rate of convergence of products of projections on K finite dimensional or finite codimensional subspaces in l2 by the rate of convergence of the decreasing sequence of the squares of the norms of the iterates.

Inventiones mathematicae, 2015 We develop a "local theory" of multidimensional quasiperiodic $\SL(2,\R)$ cocycles which are not homotopic to a constant. It describes a $C^1$-open neighborhood of cocycles of rotations and applies irrespective of arithmetic conditions on the frequency, being much more robust than the local theory of $\SL(2,\R)$ cocycles homotopic to a constant.

Monotone and near-monotone biochemical networks [PDF]
Systems and Synthetic Biology, 2007 Monotone subsystems have appealing properties as components of larger networks, since they exhibit robust dynamical stability and predictability of responses to perturbations. This suggests that natural biological systems may have evolved to be, if not monotone, at least close to monotone in the sense of being decomposable into a "small" number of ...

When is a monotone function cyclically monotone?
Theoretical Economics, 2021 We provide sufficient conditions for a monotone function with a finite set of outcomes to be cyclically monotone. Using these conditions, we show that any monotone function defined on the domain of gross substitutes is cyclically monotone. The result also extends to the domain of generalized gross substitutes and complements.
