The Frege-Russell view is that existence is a second-order property rather than a property of individuals. One of the most compelling arguments for this view is based on the premise that there is an especially close connection between existence and number. The most promising version of this argument is by C.J.F. Williams (1981, 1992). In what follows, I argue that this argument fails. I then de...

approving the children’s protecting laws, we confront with the samples of criminal and ethic policies taken in order to keep children safe against any discrmination. taking a short brief of issues disscussed in this framework, we can recognize that the lawmakers are under the influence of children rights convention and the facts related to it. the law which is based on children abuse, brings th...

In this paper we show that in pure exchange economies there exists no Pareto efficient and strategy-proof allocation mechanism which ensures positive consumptions to all agents. We also show that Pareto efficient, strategy-proof, and non-bossy allocation mechanism is dictatorial. We further show that if there exists three agents, then the allocation given by a Pareto efficient, strategy-proof, ...

Over the last few years the efficiency of search equilibria has been examined by a number of authors. In a series of papers, Diamond (1981; 1982a; 1982b; 1984) has studied this issue in depth. Diamond (1981) shows that in a market with a distribution of match specific mobility costs, an unemployment insurance programme can improve the ex ante welfare of all workers by inducing each of them to f...

1 Stein’s lemma • In a landmark paper, Stein (1981) derived a beautiful and simple lemma about the standard normal distribution. Indeed, Stein knew of this result much earlier and wrote about it in previous papers, but in Stein (1981), the author developed a multivariate extension of this lemma that led to a remarkable result on unbiased risk estimation. (And, an interesting note: the paper Ste...

This paper will examine Bakhtin’s theory that a genre’s unity is defined by its chronotope [Bakhtin, M. M. (1981). Forms of time and of the chronotope in the novel. In M. Holquist (Ed.), The dialogic imagination: Four essays (pp. 84–258). Austin: University of Texas Press] and assume that, if this is true, the rhetorical unity within a specific genre could also be defined by its chronotope. Cen...
