Research on hunger and food security in the Global South and the Global North has often emphasized different factors and scales of analyses. Unlike newer monitoring systems in the Global South, which evolved substantially following critiques by Amartya Sen, US food security research has rarely combined the two dimensions of food availability and food access. Furthermore, this research has paid ...

Sport development had been influenced by military, economic, political and social chaos. The period 1912 to 1927 was a tumultuous time for China, fragmented and ruled as it was by an assortment of regional military dictators or warlords.

Measuring the succe...

Debates about poverty relief and foreign aid often hinge on claims about how many poor people there are in the world and what constitutes poverty. Good measures of poverty are essential for addressing the world poverty problem. Measures of poverty require a basis for determining who is poor and a method of aggregation. Historically, the methods of aggregation were quite simple. The headcount in...

There is a vast literature on robust regression estimators, the bulk of which assumes that the dependent (outcome) variable is continuous. Evidently, there are no published results on the impact of tied values in terms of the Type I error probability. A minor goal in this paper to comment generally on problems created by tied values when testing the hypothesis of a zero slope. Simulations indic...
