It is often argued that additional constraints on redistribution such as granting veto power to more players in the society makes property better protected from expropriation. We use a legislative bargainingtype model to demonstrate that this intuition may be flawed. Increasing the number of veto players or raising the supermajority requirement for redistribution may reduce protection on the eq...

OBJECTIVES To review systematically the evidence on impact of cerebral redistribution, as assessed by fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler, on neurological outcomes in small-for-gestational-age (SGA) or growth-restricted fetuses. METHODS For this systematic review, MEDLINE was searched for all controlled studies reporting neurological outcomes in SGA or growth-restricted babies with cer...

Different beliefs about the fairness of social competition and what determines income inequality influence the redistributive policy chosen in a society. But the composition of income in equilibrium depends on tax policies. We show how the interaction between social beliefs and welfare policies may lead to multiple equilibria or multiple steady states. If a society believes that individual effo...

Who gains from stimulating output? We explore a dynamic model with production subsidies where the population is heterogeneous in one dimension: wealth. There are two channels through which production subsidies redistribute resources across the population. First, poorer agents gain from a rise in wages, since—to the extent there is an operative wealth effect in labor supply—they work harder. Sec...

Democratic citizens are not equal but only anonymous, indistinguishable by any traits they may possess. Democracy only places a veil over distinctions that exist in society. Even the one sense in which equality that can be said to characterize democracy –equality before the law –is derivative from anonymity: the law has to treat all citizens equally because they are indistinguishable. This norm...

In the present paper a tractable two-sector growth model with technological externalities and many countries is considered. It is shown that the occurrence of indeterminacy, a typical side-product of externalities, may appear due to the enlargement of the markets for goods and factors. Various scenarios of progressive levels of integration are considered. In particular, it is found that the int...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare thallium reinjection with standard stress/delay redistribution for the prediction of cardiac events. BACKGROUND Although thallium reinjection enhances the detection of viable myocardium, its contribution to prognosis over stress/delay redistribution in a general referral population has not been clearly evaluated. METHODS This retrospective...

The data redistribution problems on multi-computers had been extensively studied. Irregular data redistribution has been paid attention recently since it can distribute different size of data segment of each processor to processors according to their own computation capability. High Performance Fortran Version 2 (HPF-2) provides GEN_BLOCK data distribution method for generating irregular data d...
