A sharp quantitative version of the anisotropic isoperimetric inequality is established, corresponding to a stability estimate for the Wulff shape of a given surface tension energy. This is achieved by exploiting mass transportation theory, especially Gromov’s proof of the isoperimetric inequality and the Brenier-McCann Theorem. A sharp quantitative version of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for...

The dynamics of the Inequality of Children’s Malnutrition in Africa. A Comparative Analysis of a Regression-based Decomposition A comparative analysis for three countries of Africa – Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Togo – of the factors of the relative socioeconomic inequality in stunting of the children, as well as variations of these disparities in time, is proposed.

This paper focuses on inequality in living standards across oblasts and regions within Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Regional inequality is an important area of research and policy development. Inequality in income and consumption are logical outcomes in a market-based economic system. If inequality within countries exists because of barriers to compe...

Psychology research from Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) countries, especially the United States, receives more scientific attention than non-WEIRD countries. We investigate one structural way that this inequality might be enacted: mentioning sample's country in article title. Analyzing current publication practice of four leading social psychology journals (Stud...
