The Fractal Nature of Inequality in Societies with Equal Opportunities
In this paper we investigate wealth inequality/polarization properties related to the geometry of the support of the limit distribution of wealth in economies characterized by equal opportunities and uninsurable individual risk. We work out two simple successive generation models, one with stochastic human capital accumulation and one with R&D, and prove that intense technological progress make...
متن کاملAre all antidepressants alike?
Antidepressants are indicated in about 40 different disorders, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and other disorders. We propose to call these disorders antidepressani-responsive disorders (ARDs). We describe the clinical and biological criteria that differentiate the antidepressants. Although antidepressants share the same clinical efficacy in most ARDs, the configuration of adverse...
متن کاملIntergenerational Wealth Transmission and Inequality in Premodern Societies Production Systems, Inheritance, and Inequality in Premodern Societies
Premodern human societies differ greatly in socioeconomic inequality. Despite much useful theorizing on the causes of these differences, individual-level quantitative data on wealth inequality is lacking. The papers in this special section provide the first comparable estimates of intergenerational wealth transmission and inequality in premodern societies, with data on more than 40 measures of ...
متن کاملNot all laboratories are alike.
KLUG et al. [1] have reported observer variability within and between two experienced observers of a number of lung function measurements in preschool children. One of the methods assessed was the measurement of airway resistance by the interrupter technique (Rint). In their laboratory, Rint measurements have high interobserver variability, although no systematic bias. In our laboratory interob...
متن کاملGossiping Girls Are All Alike
This paper discusses several different ways to model the wellknown gossiping girls problem in promela. The highly symmetric nature of the problem is exploited using plain promela, topspin (an extension to Spin for symmetry reduction), and by connecting Spin to bliss (a tool to compute canonical representations of graphs). The model checker Spin is used to compare the consequences of the various...
