متن کاملWhen economic growth is less than exponential
This paper argues that growth theory needs a more general notion of “regularity” than that of exponential growth. We suggest that paths along which the rate of decline of the growth rate is proportional to the growth rate itself deserve attention. This opens up for considering a richer set of parameter combinations than in standard growth models. Moreover, it avoids the usual oversimplistic dic...

متن کاملEfficient use of phase 1 information in two-phase case-control studies based on administrative databases

For instance in pharmacoepidemiological studies based on claims data of statutory health insurances, information on the potentially important confounders body mass index (BMI) and smoking behaviour is lackin...
