Constructing and Validating New County‐Level Cultural Capital Indices for Applied Policy Analysis: Evidence From SNAP Take‐Up

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cultural capital influences a wide range of social and economic outcomes, yet quantitative measures suitable for policy analysis remain limited. We develop county‐level cultural capital indices for the US based on Bourdieu's framework of objectified, embodied, and institutionalized cultural capital.

An observation on Korn’s inequality for nonconforming finite element methods [PDF]

open access: yesMathematics of Computation, 2005
By utilizing a simple observation on traces of rigid motions we are able to strengthen a result of Brenner (2004) on Korn’s inequality for nonconforming finite element methods. The approach here is tightly connected to the theory developed in Brenner’s work.

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

Do More Open Economies Export Less Diversely in Brazilian Agribusiness?

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper asks whether municipalities with a larger export‐to‐revenue ratio display a more concentrated bundle of exported goods in Brazilian agribusiness. Recent advances in export imputation for Brazilian municipalities allow for an analysis of the concentration profile of each municipality and its association with export openness.

What Explains Racial Differences in Farm Succession Planning? Evidence From Decomposition and Counterfactual Analysis

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines racial differences in farm succession planning using survey data from Tennessee farmers. While observed differences between White and Black farmers are small, decomposition and counterfactual analyses show that structural characteristics, particularly farm size, would predict higher succession planning among White farmers ...

Null controllability of nonlinear control systems governed by coupled degenerate parabolic equations

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2019
This article concerns the null controllability of a nonlinear control system governed by coupled degenerate parabolic equations. We first establish the Carleman estimate and the observability inequality for solutions to the conjugate problem.

Observability Estimate for the Fractional Order Parabolic Equations on Measurable Sets

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
We establish an observability estimate for the fractional order parabolic equations evolved in a bounded domain Ω of ℝn. The observation region is F×ω, where ω and F are measurable subsets of Ω and (0,T), respectively, with positive measure.

Observation of vibrating systems at different time instants

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2014
In this paper, we obtain new observability inequalities for the vibrating string. This work was motivated by a recent paper of A. Szijártó and J.

From Instruction to Inheritance: Scaling Robot Learning Through Knowledge Circulation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robot learning moves from one‐way instruction toward knowledge circulation. Humans teach robots, robots teach one another, and robots share acquired skills with humans. This perspective connects teaching, embodiment, and learning architectures to explore how knowledge is inherited, adapted, and enriched across agents, opening a path toward scalable ...
