Acts Committed and Omitted

Legal Advice about Acts Already Committed

This paper considers a model of the provision of information about legal rules to parties when they have already committed acts to which the rules apply.’ The provision of advice about legal rules in these circumstances is, of course, one of the main tasks of lawyers in the setting of litigation. (Why individuals often obtain advice only after they have acted, not before, is discussed in our co...

Omitted variable bias and hospital costs.

This research examines the impact of omitted variables on the accuracy of parametric hospital cost function estimations based on Québec hospital level data. We assess the effect of omitted variables resulting from incomplete data on technology and performance measurement and on tests of the cost minimizing behavior of the institution. Our results show that important characteristics of hospital ...

Fuzzy Acts over Fuzzy Semigroups and Sheaves

lthough fuzzy set theory and  sheaf theory have been developed and studied independently,  Ulrich Hohle shows that a large part of fuzzy set  theory  is in fact a subfield of sheaf theory. Many authors have studied mathematical structures, in particular, algebraic structures, in both  categories of these generalized (multi)sets. Using Hohle's idea, we show that for a (universal) algebra $A$, th...
