The prevailing narrative of a huge reduction in income poverty China since reforms began 1978 does not accord with all the evidence. paper tries to reconcile conflicting findings. rise counts indicated by strongly-relative measures literature is credible given properties these measures. More surprising, and revealing, story told official lines, which were revised twice original 1985 line. shows...

A subalgebra Mo of a von Neumann algebra M is called weakly sufficient with respect to a pair (φ, ω) of states if the relative entropy of φ and ω coincides with the relative entropy of their restrictions to Mo. The main result says that Mo is weakly sufficient for (φ, ω) if and only if Mo contains the RadonNikodym cocycle [Dφ,Dω]t. Other conditions are formulated in terms of generalized conditi...

El artículo tiene como propósito establecer un diálogo entre Watchmen, el cómic de Alan Moore y Dave Gibbons, su continuación televisiva, realizada bajo la dirección creativa Damon Lindelof. Este se establece sobre contenido político ambas obras, puntualmente en crítica al neoliberalismo régimen económico. Argumentamos que espacio temático narrativo tanto del serie es similar porque ambos const...

An informal argument shows that common knowledge of rationality implies the iterative elimination of strongly dominated strategies. Rationality here means that players do not play strategies that are strongly dominated relative to their knowledge. We formalize and prove this claim. When by rationality we mean that players do not play strategies that are weakly dominated relative to their knowle...

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study two new classes of functions called weakly $e^{*}$-open functions and weakly $e^{*}$-closed functions via the concept of $e^{*}$-open set defined by Ekici cite{erd1}. The notions of weakly $e^{*}$-open and weakly $e^{*}$-closed functions are weaker than the notions of weakly $beta$-open and weakly $beta$-closed functions defined by Caldas and Nava...

in 2001, s. bulman-fleming et al. initiated the study of three flatness properties (weakly kernel flat, principally weakly kernel flat, translation kernel flat) of right acts $a_{s}$ over a monoid $s$ that can be described by means of when the functor $a_{s} otimes -$ preserves pullbacks. in this paper, we extend these results to$s$-posets and present equivalent descriptions of weakly kernel po...
