Professor Scott Baker was kind enough to present his empirical research on the relationship between judicial salary and judicial quality1 to the Law and Economics Workshop run by Professor Keith Hylton2 and me last fall and I am honored to be able to comment on it today. It is part of a growing body of literature in law that tries to shed light on important issues through statistical analysis. ...

Sociomateriality is on everyone's lips these days. Since Orlikowski (2006; 2007; 2009), together with Scott (Orlikowski and Scott 2008; Scott and Orlikowski 2009) first introduced this term in organisation studies and in information systems (IS) research, we count an impressive number of contributions on this topic along with calls for papers in renowned journals and conferences. Without going ...

In this paper we attempt to find and investigate the most general class of posets which satisfy a properly generalized version of the Hofmann-Mislove theorem. For that purpose, we generalize and study some notions (like compactness, the Scott topology, Scott open filters, prime elements, the spectrum etc.), and adjust them for use in general posets. Then we characterize the posets satisfying th...

The judgment of Sir William Scott in Dalrymple v Dalrymple has been lauded by subsequent judges and academic writers, and is frequently cited as authority for the proposition that under the canon law the exchange of vows in words of the present tense was sufficient to create a marriage that was valid for all purposes. Of course, by 1811 legislation had long supplanted the canon law in England a...

For every Scott set F and every nonrecursive set X in F , there is a Y ∈ F such that X and Y are Turing incomparable.

We begin with a graph (or a directed graph), a single set of nodes N , and a set of lines or arcs L. It is common to use this mathematical concept to represent a network. We use the notation of [1], especially Chapters 13 and 15. There are extensions of these ideas to a wide range of networks, including multiple relations, affiliation relations, valued relations, and social influence and select...
