and repeated indices indicate summation from 1 to n. The functions a'(x, u, p), a(x, u, p) are defined in QX£ n + 1 . If furthermore for any ikf>0, the ratio of the maximum to minimum eigenvalues of [a(Xy u, p)] is bounded in ÛX( — M, M)XE, Qu is called uniformly elliptic. A solution of the Dirichlet problem Qu = Q, u—<f)(x) on <50 is a C(n)P\C(O) function u(x) satisfying Qu = 0 in £2 and agree...

Researchers are currently refining the concept and theory of trust to focus on identifying the bases of trust within specific domains. This paper examines the development of trust within the domain of agricultural water policy, where trust is a critical resource for solving collective action problems. The analysis uses data from a mail survey of farmers in agricultural water policy to integrate...

We look at the conjugacy of mappings of the form f(x) = x + ∑ anx . The goal of this paper is to further develop an approach of Jenkins and Spallone [7] which is both elementary and effective in constructing convergent power series conjugating two such functions (recall that two such maps f and g are conjugate if there is an h so that h ◦ f ◦ h−1 = g). Using this approach, we are also able to c...

Our research on stereotype threat began with a practical question: Do social psychological processes play a significant role in the academic underperformance of certain minority groups, and if so, what is the nature of those processes? In our search for answers, we soon came upon an intriguing finding: Women at the University of Michigan seemed to perform lower than their tested skills would pr...

Political movements that engage in terrorism typically have too few material resources— personnel, funds, or territory under their control—to achieve their goals through legitimate political action or large-scale organized violence (Fromkin, 1975). Terrorist attacks are part of an indirect strategy for achieving their political objectives by influencing an audience (Crenshaw, 1981). These terro...

The structure of a tness landscape is still an ill de ned concept This paper introduces a statis tical tness landscape analysis that can be used on a multitude of tness landscapes The result of this analysis is a statistical model that together with some statistics denoting the explanatory and predictive value of this model can serve as a measure for the structure of the landscape The analysis ...

This paper represents a first attempt to gather the issues of growth “pro-poorness” andmultidimensional poverty assessments. More precisely, we suggest the use of sequential dominance procedures (Bourguignon, 1989, Atkinson, 1992, Jenkins and Lambert, 1993) to test the “pro-poorness” of observed growth spells when poverty is measured on the basis of income and some other discrete well-being att...

This paper discusses how household panel surveys can be informative about the intergenerational transmission of poverty. We consider issues both of data and of the statistical methods that may be applied to those data. Although the data focus is on panel surveys from developed countries, we also briefly consider data availability in developing countries. We set out a list of survey data require...
