Kant on Bullshit Jobs—Mere Means and True Means
Journal of Social Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Following David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs, there has recently been academic and public discussion about useless work. Immanuel Kant maintains that we ought to be means for others and that there is a duty to be useful. Graeber and Kant are both concerned with a form of harm often overlooked in contemporary ethics and political philosophy, namely,

Change Point Analysis for Functional Data Using Empirical Characteristic Functionals
Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We develop a new method to detect change points in the distribution of functional data based on integrated CUSUM processes of empirical characteristic functionals. Asymptotic results are presented under conditions allowing for low‐order moments and serial dependence in the data establishing the limiting null‐distribution of the proposed test ...

Nonparametric Detection of a Time‐Varying Mean
Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a nonparametric portmanteau test for detecting changes in the unconditional mean of a univariate time series which may display either long or short memory. Our approach is designed to have power against, among other things, cases where the mean component of the series displays abrupt level shifts, deterministic trending behaviour ...

On the Existence of One‐Sided Representations for the Generalised Dynamic Factor Model
Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the Generalised Dynamic Factor Model (GDFM) and show that the dynamic common component, that is, the common component of the GDFM, can be expressed using only current and past observations under mild assumptions. Specifically, we require (i) the dynamic common component to be purely non‐deterministic and (ii) the exclusion of ...
