Effect of Austerity Measures on Infant Mortality: Evidence From Greece

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Governments frequently adopt austerity policies when facing economic crises, yet their long‐term consequences for population health remain incompletely understood. This paper examines the impact of large‐scale fiscal austerity on infant mortality by exploiting the Troika‐led economic adjustment program implemented in Greece beginning in 2010 ...

A Note on Shapleys Convex Measure Games

L. S. Shapley, in his paper Cores of Convex Games, introduces Convex Measure Games, those that are induced by a convex function on R, acting over a measure on the coalitions.

The Effect of the Interaction Between Price and Time Preference on Cigarette Consumption

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The primary focus of this essay is to obtain new estimates of the price sensitivity of cigarette consumption and related outcomes using the 1979 cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79). This work expands on the existing literature on the topic by taking into account measures of time preference in the NLSY79 to examine ...

Strongly MφMψ -Convex Functions, The Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér Inequality and Related Results

Annales Mathematicae Silesianae
We present Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér type inequalities for strongly MφMψ -convex functions. Some refinements of them and bounds for the integral mean of the product of two functions are also obtained.

Egalitarianism in Convex Fuzzy Games

In this paper the egalitarian solution for convex cooperative fuzzy games is introduced.The classical Dutta-Ray algorithm for finding the constrained egalitarian solution for convex crisp games is adjusted to provide the egalitarian solution of a convex ...

On Fork‐Free t‐Perfect Graphs

Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In an effort to understand the complexity of the maximum independent set problem, Chvátal introduced t‐perfect graphs. While a full characterization of this class remains open, important progress has been made for claw‐free graphs [Bruhn and Stein, Math. Program. 2012] and P 5 ${P}_{5}$‐free graphs [Bruhn and Fuchs, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 2017]

Divergences Induced by the Cumulant and Partition Functions of Exponential Families and Their Deformations Induced by Comparative Convexity

Entropy
Exponential families are statistical models which are the workhorses in statistics, information theory, and machine learning, among others. An exponential family can either be normalized subtractively by its cumulant or free energy function, or ...
