according to B&R, if Davidson had established his "no language" thesis, he would thereby have provided a decisive reason for abandoning the project he has long advocated--viz., that of trying to provide theories of meaning for natural languages by providing recursive theories of truth for such languages. For he would have shown that there are no languages to provide truth (or meaning) theories ...

Strikingly, Ogawa and Wildasin (2009) find that in a model with heterogenous jurisdictions, interjurisdictional capital flows, and interjurisdictional environmental damage spillovers, decentralized planning outcomes are equivalent to that under a single centralized planner. Taken to its extreme this result renders international agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol irrelevant. We first show the...

The paper begins with an objection to the DesireBased Reasons Model. The argument from reason-based desires holds that since desires are based on reasons (first premise), which they transmit but to which they cannot add (second premise), they cannot themselves provide reasons for action. In the paper I investigate an attack that has recently been launched against the first premise of this argum...

Most non-economists would question whether economists know anything about culture. Indeed, given some faculty meetings I’ve been through, I imagine they might go so far as to say economists are uncultured. Although the second sentiment probably does go too far, there is certainly merit to the first. In particular, with a few exceptions (notably Kreps, 1990; Crémer, 1993; Lazear, 1995; Hodgson, ...

In two studies the role of biomedical knowledge in the diagnosis of clinical cases was explored. Experiment 1 demonstrated a decrease in the use of biomedical knowledge with increasing expertise. This result appeared to be at variance with some findings reported in the literature (e.g., Lesgold. 1934). but supported those of others (e.g., Patel, Evans, & Groen, 1989). In Experiment 2, three pos...

This paper was prepared for publication after the death of the author by T. Lewis, M.Sc. Professor R. A. Milne, F.R.S., has also seen the manuscript and makes the following observation: “ This paper should be published not only as an act of piety in Schott’s memory, but because it is done with intense care and skill and is throughout critical. Quantum physicists of the type who write the fashio...

By custom in the last few decades, the President's address has usually been clinical, but loosely connected with medicine or science. He has had free choice of subject, by tradition the tide is not disclosed beforehand, and no Questions are asked afterwards. All this gives him considerable advantage, I have therefore chosen a subject which I think is of interest to many People, that of the pict...
