How Can Community Music Enhance Place‐Based Efforts to Create Greater Social Equity? Insights From an Australian Cultural Mapping Exercise

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social inequity is increasing in Australia, often manifesting in entrenched locational disadvantage that requires place‐based responses grounded in local strengths, knowledge and participation. While community music programmes have demonstrated a range of positive social outcomes, their potential contribution to place‐based efforts addressing ...

Mean-Variance-Skewness Portfolio Performance Gauging: A General Shortage Function and Dual Approach [PDF]

This paper proposes a nonparametric efficiency measurement approach for the static portfolio selection problem in mean-variance-skewness space. A shortage function is defined that looks for possible increases in return and skewness and decreases in ...
