Is the Quantity - Quality Trade - off a
Is the Quantity-Quality Trade-off a Trade-off for All, None, or Some? Although the theoretical trade-off between the quantity and quality of children is wellestablished, empirical evidence supporting such a causal relationship − particularly on child health − is limited. We use two measures of child health to asses the quantity-quality tradeoff across the entire distribution. Using data from th...
متن کاملThe Quantity and Quality of Teachers: A Dynamic Trade-off
In the framework of dynamic general equilibrium OLG model we study the dynamics of the quantity and quality of teachers. They are jointly set by a government agency wishing to maximize the quality of basic education per student while being bound by teachers’ collective bargaining agreement which equalizes teacher pay. Our model features two stages of education: basic and advanced, the latter be...
متن کاملThe offspring quantity–quality trade-off and human fertility variation
The idea that trade-offs between offspring quantity and quality shape reproductive behaviour has long been central to economic perspectives on fertility. It also has a parallel and richer theoretical foundation in evolutionary ecology. We review the application of the quantity-quality trade-off concept to human reproduction, emphasizing distinctions between clutch size and lifetime fertility, a...
متن کاملOptimizing the quantity/quality trade-off in connectome inference
We demonstrate a meaningful prospective power analysis for an (admittedly idealized) illustrative connectome inference task. Modeling neurons as vertices and synapses as edges in a simple random graph model, we optimize the trade-off between the number of (putative) edges identified and the accuracy of the edge identification procedure. We conclude that explicit analysis of the quantity/quality...
متن کاملSome Trade-off Results for Polynomial Calculus
We present size-space trade-offs for the polynomial calculus (PC) and polynomial calculus resolution (PCR) proof systems. These are the first true size-space trade-offs in any algebraic proof system, showing that size and space cannot be simultaneously optimized in these models. We achieve this by extending essentially all known size-space trade-offs for resolution to PC and PCR. As such, our r...
