Aggregation and the Structure of Value

Noûs, 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.

Fully Modified GLS Estimation for Seemingly Unrelated Cointegrating Polynomial Regressions

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A new feasible generalized least squares estimator is proposed. Our estimator incorporates (1) the inverse autocovariance matrix of multidimensional errors, and (2) second‐order bias corrections. The resulting estimator has the intuitive interpretation of applying a weighted least squares objective function to filtered data series.

A Long‐Run Perspective on Unconditional Convergence in Manufacturing: Evidence From U.S. Industrialisation

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines long‐run unconditional convergence of labour productivity in manufacturing across 48 contiguous U.S. states. We construct a detailed panel data set of state‐industry pairs with over 120 industries covering the period 1880–2007.

AI in Public Decision‐Making: A Philosophical and Practical Framework for Assessing and Weighing Harm and Benefit

Public Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in public decision‐making; yet existing governance tools often lack clear definitions of harm and benefit, practical methods for weighing competing values, and guidance for resolving value conflicts.

Maternal Residential Mobility Between Births: A California Statewide Study

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Studies of perinatal and paediatric health often analyse data from consecutive pregnancies. However, little is known about the factors associated with maternal residential changes between births or how maternal mobility may affect the validity of epidemiological findings, particularly those involving geographic‐based measurements ...

Ldpc Code Construction using Randomly Permutated Copies of Parity Check Matrix

, 2017
A construction technique is proposed for low-density parity check (LDPC) codes. It uses a base parity check matrix designed from a ran-dom or constructed construction method as Gallager or Quasi-Cyclic LDPC (QC-LDPC) codes in sequence to get codes with multiple lengths and same rate of the base matrix.

From credits to coherence: Applying the policy coherence approach to prevent problem‐shifting in the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, EarlyView.
Abstract Carbon crediting mechanisms can deliver cost‐effective climate mitigation but risk ‘problem‐shifting’ by worsening environmental harms such as biodiversity loss and water pollution. This article assesses whether the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (PACM) is better equipped than the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to prevent such trade ...

QC-LDPC Codes Construction by Concatenating of Circulant Matrices as Block-Columns

International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Research, 2016
In this paper a new low complexity method for constructing binary quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes is introduced. In the proposed method, each block-column of the parity check matrix H is made by a circulant matrix in a way that the ...

Noisy Politics, Quiet Technocrats: Strategic Silence by Central Banks

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In contrast to the “quiet” politics of the pre‐2008 period, macroeconomic policy has become “noisy”. This break raises a question: How do independent agencies designed for quiet politics react when a contentious public turns the volume up on them?

Some bounds related to the 2‐adic Littlewood conjecture

Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract For every irrational real α$\alpha$, let M(α)=supn⩾1an(α)$M(\alpha) = \sup _{n\geqslant 1} a_n(\alpha)$ denote the largest partial quotient in its continued fraction expansion (or ∞$\infty$, if unbounded). The 2‐adic Littlewood conjecture (2LC) can be stated as follows: There exists no irrational α$\alpha$ such that M(2kα)$M(2^k \alpha)$ is ...
