BACKGROUND In deciding among competing approaches for emissions control, debates often hinge on the potential tradeoffs between efficiency and equity. However, previous health benefits analyses have not formally addressed both dimensions. OBJECTIVES We modeled the public health benefits and the change in the spatial inequality of health risk for a number of hypothetical control scenarios for ...

A New Framework for the Analysis of Inequality This paper presents a new framework for analyzing inequality that moves beyond the anonymity postulate. We estimate the determinants of sectoral choice and the joint distributions of outcomes across sectors. We determine which components of realized earnings variability are due to uncertainty and which components are due to components of human dive...

This paper examines the political economy of redistribution when voters have asymmetric information about the redistributive preferences of politicians and the latter cannot make credible policy commitments. The candidates in each party are endogenously selected by a process of Nash Bargaining between the competing factions. In equilibrium, there is “partial convergence” of redistributive polic...

The alternating direction method is an attractive method for a class of variational inequality problems if the subproblems can be solved efficiently. However, solving the subproblems exactly is expensive even when the subproblem is strongly monotone or linear. To overcome this disadvantage, this paper develops a new alternating direction method for cocoercive nonlinear variational inequality pr...

Abstract. In this note, we present two arguments showing that the classical linear adjoint cone restriction conjecture holds for the class of functions supported on the cone and invariant under the spatial rotation in all dimensions. The first is based on a dyadic restriction estimate, while the second follows from a strengthening version of the Hausdorff-Young inequality and the Hölder inequal...

An impulsive Cohen-Grossberg neural network with time-varying and S-type distributed delays and reaction-diffusion terms is considered. By using Hardy-Poincaré inequality instead of Hardy-Sobolev inequality or just the nonpositivity of the reaction-diffusion operators, under suitable conditions in terms of M-matrices which involve the reaction-diffusion coefficients and the dimension and size o...

To achieve a balanced and sustainable rural development pattern, this study used the Theil index, Gini coefficient, Spatial Autocorrelation method to analyze inequality of industrial economic between areas in South Korea. The results showed that considering whole Korea, level among was reasonably balanced, trend narrowing. Considering first-level regions, levels varied. around Capital Area Metr...

We present some sensitivity results for the spatial price equilibrium problem in the case of quantity formulation model and in presence of excess supply and excess demand. The equilibrium conditions that describe the above model are expressed in terms of a time dependent variational inequality. The variational inequality formulation plays a fundamental role in order to achieve the sensitivity r...

BACKGROUND A quantitative measurement of inequality in geographic accessibility to pediatric care as well as that of mean distance or travel time is very important for priority setting to ensure fair access to pediatric facilities. However, conventional techniques for measuring inequality is inappropriate in geographic settings. Since inequality measures of access distance or travel time is str...
