The More the Merrier? The Effect of Family Composition on Children's Education Among the perceived inputs in the “production” of child quality is family size; there is an extensive theoretical literature that postulates a tradeoff between child quantity and quality within a family. However, there is little causal evidence that speaks to this theory. Our analysis is able to overcome many limitat...

OBJECTIVES Family involvement is strongly recommended in clinical guidelines but suffers from poor implementation. To explore this topic at a conceptual level, a multidisciplinary review team including academics, clinicians and individuals with lived experience undertook a review to explore the theoretical background of family involvement models in acute mental health treatment and how this rel...

Health care interventions may affect the health of patients' family networks. It has been suggested that these "health spillovers" should be included in economic evaluation, but there is not a systematic method for doing this. In this article, we develop a framework for including health spillovers in economic evaluation. We focus on extra-welfarist economic evaluations where the objective is to...

This paper studies simple hyperchaotic circuits consisting of one linear 3-port voltage-controlled current source (ab. VCCS), two linear capacitors and one dependent switched capacitor. The dynamics is described by a normal form equation and a return map can be derived. Using a mapping procedure, it is shown that the circuits exhibit interesting hyperchaotic attractors.
