A Couple's Religious Affiliation Status and Charitable Giving: A Closer Look

open access: yesJournal for the Scientific Study of Religion, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how religious dynamics in a household are connected to its giving patterns. Specifically, we test how a married or cohabitating heterosexual couple's religious affiliation status relates to the likelihood of donation by tracking the shifts using a three‐tiered classification: (1) general giving, (2) giving to religious and ...

A Conditional Tail Expectation Type Risk Measure for Time Series

open access: yesJournal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider the estimation of the conditional expectation 𝔼(Xh|X0>UX(1/p)), provided 𝔼|X0|<∞, at extreme levels, where (Xt)t∈ℤ$$ {\left({X}_t\right)}_{t\in \mathbb{Z}} $$ is a strictly stationary time series, UX$$ {U}_X $$ its tail quantile function, h$$ h $$ is a positive integer and p∈(0,1)$$ p\in \left(0,1\right) $$ is such that p→0$$ p\to ...

Empirical‐Process Limit Theory and Filter Approximation Bounds for Score‐Driven Time Series Models

open access: yesJournal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the filtering and approximation‐theoretic properties of score‐driven time series models. Under specific Lipschitz‐type and tail conditions, new results are derived, leading to maximal and deviation inequalities for the filtering approximation error using empirical process theory.

Infinite ethics and the limits of impartiality

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Beneficence—the part of morality concerned with promoting people's well‐being—is widely thought to be both agent‐neutral and impartial: it prescribes a common aim to all, and does not favor some individuals over others. This paper explores a problem for agent‐neutral, impartial beneficence from the perspective of “individualistic ethics” in ...

Aggregation and the Structure of Value

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Roughly, the view I call “Additivism” sums up value across time and people. Given some standard assumptions, I show that Additivism follows from two principles. The first says that how lives align in time cannot, in itself, matter. The second says, roughly, that a world cannot be better unless it is better within some period or another.
