G the recent concern on “big governments” and rising budget deficits in the United States and European nations, there has been a fundamental economic debate on the proper boundary and role of governments in a society. Inspired by this debate, we study the relationship between information technology (IT) and government size. Drawing on a broad range of the literature from multiple disciplines su...

The linear discrepancy of a poset P is the least k such that there is a linear extension L of P such that if x and y are incomparable, then |hL(x)− hL(y)| ≤ k. Whereas the weak discrepancy is the least k such that there is a weak extension W of P such that if x and y are incomparable, then |hW (x)− hW (y)| ≤ k. This paper resolves a question of Tanenbaum, Trenk, and Fishburn on characterizing w...

This paper examines the empirical validity of the prediction that if governments minimize the deadweight loss from raising revenue through inflation and tax finance, there should be a positive contemporaneous association between inflation and the level of tax burdens. We examine the empirical validity of this prediction using data from Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and the United States. Inf...

So, though, chocolate needs a little self-care and a constructive and ethical interaction with the environment to preserve it. The attention to environmental ethics began around the w...

In this paper, we will focus on the number, type, local stability, and global stability of positive equilibrium predator-prey model with special Holling IV functional response. When is a weak focus, it can be order one stable, unstable, higher order. Moreover, if unique there exists limit cycle surrounding it.
