Lowest Common Denominator Norm Institutionalization: The Anti-coup Norm at the United Nations

On the maximum-norm of the restricted denominator approximations

In this paper we analyze the restricted denominator approximation method, which is a one parameter family of functions approximating the exponential function. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the A-stability of the functions. We provide an estimate for the stability constant in the maximum-norm when the method applied to the one-dimensional heat-equation both on finite and on in...

Converging to the lowest common denominator in physical health.

OBJECTIVE This research examines how access to information on peer health behaviors affects one's own health behavior. METHODS We report the results of a randomized field experiment in a large corporation in which we introduced walkstations (treadmills attached to desks that enable employees to walk while working), provided employees with feedback on their own and their coworkers' usage, and ...

Norm Change in the Common Law

An account of legal change in a common law system is developed. Legal 1 change takes place incrementally through court decisions that are constrained by 2 previous decisions in other courts. The assumption is that a court’s decision has to 3 be consistent with the rules set out in earlier court decisions. However, the court is 4 allowed to make add new distinctions and therefore make a differen...
