How Strong Is a Counterfactual?

نویسندگان

چکیده

The literature on counterfactuals is dominated by strict accounts (SA) and variably (VSA). Counterexamples to the principle of Antecedent Strengthening were thought be fatal SA; but it has been shown that adding dynamic resources view, such examples can accounted for. We broaden debate between VSA SA focusing a new strengthening principle, with Possibility. show classically validates this principle. give counterexample extra cannot help SA. then for if allows orderings worlds are not almost-connected, an ordering naturally falls out Kratzerian source semantics. conclude failure Possibility tells strongly against Dynamic in favor source-based version VSA.

The fundamental equation in evolutionary quantitative genetics, the Lande equation, describes the response to directional selection as a product of the additive genetic variance and the selection gradient of trait value on relative fitness. Comparisons of both genetic variances and selection gradients across traits or populations require standardization, as both are scale dependent. The Lande e...

How strong is Nisanʼs pseudo-random generator?

We study the resilience of the classical pseudo-random generator (PRG) of Nisan [Nis92] against space-bounded machines that make multiple passes over the input. Our motivation comes from the derandomization of BPNC. Observe that if for every log-space machine that reads its input n times there is a PRG fooling this machine, then in particular we fool NC circuits. Nisan’s PRG is known to fool lo...

How Strong is the Love of Variety?

Models with monopolistic competition and constant elasticity of substitution (CES) preferences have become a mainstay of theoretical and empirical work in international trade. However, the standard model yields contrafactual predictions on the number of varieties, prices and output per variety that are traded. In particular the model predicts a rate of variety growth that is faster than that ob...
