This paper empirically compares geographic targeting indicators available in Peru. To this effect, I combine household-level information from the 1994 and 1997 Peru Living Standards Measurement Survey (LSMS) and district-level information from the 1993 Peru Population and Hous...

We find that that subjects are less likely to sacrifice their own material wellb...

In distributional clustering, one has data drawn from an ensemble of probability distributions and seeks to group similar distributions together. We focus on the case of multinomials, such as a set of biased coins ...
