Quasi-Gap and Gap Functions for Non-Smooth Multi-Objective Semi-Infinite Optimization Problems

In this paper‎, ‎we introduce and study some new single-valued gap functions for non-differentiable semi-infinite multiobjective optimization problems with locally Lipschitz data‎. ‎Since one of the fundamental properties of gap function for optimization problems is its abilities in characterizing the solutions of the problem in question‎, ‎then the essential properties of the newly introduced ...

Decreasing fertility , economic growth and the intergenerational wage gap

Persistent low fertility rates lead to lower population growth rates and eventually also to decreasing population sizes in most industrialized countries. There are fears that this demographic development is associated with declines in per capita GDP and possibly also increasing inequality of the wage distribution. We investigate whether this is true in the context of neoclassical growth models,...

The Wage Gap between Metropolitan and Non-metropolitan Areas

In the literature on measured wage inequality, only one recent study, by Glaeser and Mare′ (2001), has focused on the enormous wage gap between urban and non-urban workers in the United States. In the present paper, I replicate and extend Glaeser and Mare′’s original empirical work, and I present a new interpretation of the evidence based on my re-estimation. Contrary to Glaeser and Mare′’s the...

The Sexual Orientation Wage Gap: The Role of Occupational Sorting, Human Capital, and Discrimination

The Sexual Orientation Wage Gap: The Role of Occupational Sorting, Human Capital, and Discrimination Using data from the 2000 U.S. Census, we document and explore three alternative explanations for the sexual orientation wage gap: occupational sorting, human capital differences, and discrimination. We find lesbian women earn more than their heterosexual counterparts irrespective of marital stat...
