The Supply of Social Insurance
Creators: name: Gonzalez, Francisco M.
Publisher: name: Faculty of Economics
Year: 2007
Subjects: Insurance
Social Contract
Welfare State

description: We propose a theory of the welfare state, in which social transfers are chosen by a governing group interacting with non-governing groups repeatedly. Social demands from the non-governing groups are credible because these groups have the ability to generate social conflict. In this context social insurance is supplied as an equilibrium response to income risks within a self-enforcing social contract. When we explore the implications of such a view of the social contract, we find four main determinants of the welfare state: the degree of aggregate income risk; the heterogeneity of group-specific income risks; the public administration’s ability to implement group-specific transfers; and the ability of the non-governing groups to coordinate their social demands. We also analyze the link between public good provision and social insurance.

Multi-Purpose Consumption and Functional Differntiation: Why has the Vibrant Galleria replaced the Good Old Fashioned Department Store?

Subjects: entry

bundling

description: A very striking change in product selection over the last century has been the increased degree of specialisation of durable goods. To analyse these changes this paper introduces a new form of product differentiation called functional. It is shown that when a homogeneous population demands multiple locations (rather than consumers being heterogeneous) several standard results are reversed. A monopoly has an incentive to offer excessively specialised goods and delay innovation. It is in a duopoly that product characteristics will be efficient. Entry of a third firm will be more profitable in the fringes. Furthermore entry results in too much variety. Finally, the paper presents a novel argument in favour of bundling.

description: By numerically solving the quantum kinetic equations we compute the range of parameters where the $ν_μ\to ν_s$ oscillation solution to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly is consistent with a stringent big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) bound of $N_{eff}^{BBN} \stackrel{}{\sim} 4 eV$ (for $|δm^2_{atm}| = 10^{-2.5} eV^2$). We discuss the implications of this scenario for hot+cold dark matter, BBN, and the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background.

Developing the PAGE2002 Model with Endogenous Technical Change

description: Presented research demonstrates the inclusion of endogenous technical change into the PAGE2002 integrated assessment model of climate change. The â experience curveâ or learning-by-doing concept, made popular by the Boston Consulting Group during the 1960â s provides a mechanism with which to describe cost reduction through experiential learning. The implementation of learning requires both a restructuring of the way costs are modelled as well as the inclusion of an explicit learning function with initial abatement costs and learning coefficients calibrated to historical renewable energy data. The discounted values for total abatement costs are calculated for both the standard PAGE2002 model without an explicit learning function and the modified PAGE2002 model. The results were found to be of a similar magnitude, partially due to the myopic effects of discounting, though the result was found to be highly sensitive to the learning rate used, which in our case was a conservative estimate.
Neutral versus ionized gas kinematics at z~2.6: The AGN-host starburst galaxy PKS 0529-549

description: We present a multiwavelength study of the AGN-host starburst galaxy PKS 0529-549 at z~2.6. We use (1) new ALMA observations of the dust continuum and of the [CI] 370 um line, tracing molecular gas, (2) SINFONI spectroscopy of the [OIII] 5007 Ang line, tracing ionized gas, and (3) ATCA radio continuum images, tracing synchrotron emission. Both [CI] and [OIII] show regular velocity gradients, but their systemic velocities and position angles differ by ~300 km/s and ~30 degrees, respectively. The [CI] is consistent with a rotating disc, aligned with the dust and stellar continuum, while the [OIII] likely traces an outflow, aligned with two AGN-driven radio lobes. We model the [CI] cube using 3D disc models, which give best-fit rotation velocities V~310 km/s and velocity dispersions sigma<30 km/s. Hence, the [CI] disc has V/sigma>10 and is not particularly turbulent, similar to local galaxy discs. The dynamical mass (~10^11 Msun) is comparable to the baryonic mass within the errors. This suggests that baryons dominate the inner galaxy dynamics, similar to massive galaxies at z=0. Remarkably, PKS 0529-549 lies on the local baryonic Tully-Fisher relation, indicating that at least some massive galaxies are already in place and kinematically relaxed at z~2.6. This work highlights the potential of the [CI] line to trace galaxy dynamics at high z, as well as the importance of multiwavelength data to interpret gas kinematics.

description: In models with unobserved taste heterogeneity, distributional assumptions can be placed in two ways: (1) by specifying the distribution of coefficients in the utility function and deriving the distribution of willingness to pay (wtp), or (2) by specifying the distribution of wtp and deriving the distribution of coefficients. In general the two approaches are equivalent, in that any mutually compatible distributions for coefficients and wtp can be represented in either way. However, in practice, convenient distributions, such as normal or lognormal, are usually specified, and these convenient distributions have different implications when placed on wtp's than on coefficients. We compare models that use normal and lognormal distributions for coefficients (models in preference space) with models using these distributions for wtp (models in wtp space). We find that the models in preference space fit the data better but provide less reasonable distributions of wtp than the models in wtp space.
LINGUISTIC CREATIVITY IN FANTASY LITERATURE: A STUDY OF NEW WORD FORMATION IN THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS
Creators: name: Akhmadullina, Raykhona
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This articles examines the neologisms' structural and semantic characteristics in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter book series, highlighting the inventive language that enhances the magical setting. The examination of the morphological and semantic characteristics that contribute to the effectiveness and memorability of new words, such as spell names, character names, and creature species, is part of the analytic process. In addition to word construction processes like addition, affixation, and mixing, the article also explores the cultural and symbolic connotations connected to mythology, folklore, and linguistic traditions. The findings demonstrate how neologisms clarify character differences, contribute to the fantastical atmosphere, and increase the reader's sense of absorption in the magical realm.
Regular Cosmological Examples of Tree-Level Dilaton-Driven Models

description: We construct some examples of analytic solutions of the low energy (i.e. tree-level) string cosmological effective action. We work with the ``minimal'' field content (i.e. graviton and dilaton) in the absence of any dilaton potential. Provided the metric is sufficiently inhomogeneous we find solutions whose curvature invariants are bounded and everywhere defined in time and space. The dilaton coupling and its associated energy density are regular and homogeneous. A phase of growing (and non-singular) dilaton coupling compatible with the regularity of the curvature invariants without the addition of higher curvature (or higher genus) corrections to the tree-level effective action. We discuss the symmetries of the obtained solutions.

A quantum algebra approach to multivariate Askey-Wilson polynomials
Creators: name: Groenevelt, Wolter
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Quantum Algebra (math.QA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We study matrix elements of a change of base between two different bases of representations of the quantum algebra $U_q(su(1,1))$. The two bases, which are multivariate versions of Al-Salam--Chihara polynomials, are eigenfunctions of iterated coproducts of twisted primitive elements. The matrix elements are identified with Gasper and Rahman's multivariate Askey-Wilson polynomials, and from this interpretation we derive their orthogonality relations. Furthermore, the matrix elements are shown to be eigenfunctions of the twisted primitive elements after a change of representation, which gives a quantum algebraic derivation of the fact that the multivariate Askey-Wilson polynomials are solutions of a multivariate bispectral $q$-difference problem.

Brownian motion of Massive Particle in a Space with Curvature and Torsion and Crystals with Defects
Creators: name: Kleinert, H.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: We develop a theory of Brownian motion of a massive particle, including the effects of inertia (Kramers' problem), in spaces with curvature and torsion. This is done by invoking the recently discovered generalized equivalence principle, according to which the equations of motion of a point particle in such spaces can be obtained from the Newton equation in euclidean space by means of a nonholonomic mapping. By this principle, the known Langevin equation in euclidean space goes over into the correct Langevin equation in the Cartan space. This, in turn, serves to derive the Kubo and Fokker-Planck equations satisfied by the particle distribution as a function of time in such a space. The theory can be applied to classical diffusion processes in crystals with defects.

description: The so-called â electricity wholesale marketâ is, in fact, a sequence of several markets. The chain is closed with a provision for â balancing,â in which energy from all wholesale markets is balanced under the authority of the Transmission Grid Manager (TSO in Europe, ISO in the United States). In selecting the market design, engineers in the European Union have traditionally preferred the technical role of balancing mechanisms as â security mechanisms.â They favour using penalties to restrict the use of balancing energy by market actors. While our paper in no way disputes the importance of grid security, nor the competency of engineers to elaborate the technical rules, we wish to attract attention to the real economic consequences of alternative balancing designs. We propose a numerical simulation in the framework of a two-stage equilibrium model. This simulation allows us to compare the economic properties of designs currently existing within the European Union and to measure their fallout. It reveals that balancing designs, which are typically presented as simple variants on technical security, are in actuality alternative institutional frameworks having at least four potential economic consequences: a distortion of the forward price; an asymmetric shift in the participantsâ profits; an increase in the System Operatorâ s revenues; and inefficiencies.
Modular Wedge Localization and the d=1+1 Formfactor Program

description: In this paper I continue the study of the new framework of modular localization and its constructive use in the nonperturbative d=1+1 Karowski-Weisz-Smirnov formfactor program. Particular attention is focussed on the existence of semilocal generators of the wedge-localized algebra without vauum polarization (FWG-operators) which are closely related to objects fulfilling the Zamolodchikov-Faddeev algebraic structure. They generate a ``thermal Hilbert space'' and allow to understand the equivalence of the KMS conditions with the so-called cyclicity equation for formfactors which was known to be closely related to crossing symmetry properties. The modular setting gives rise to interesting new ideas on ``free'' d=2+1 anyons and plektons.

description: We present results of recent Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer observations of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J17062-6143 that show that it resides in a circular, ultracompact binary with a 38 minute orbital period. NICER observed the source for approximately 26 ksec over a 5.3 day span in 2017 August, and again for 14 and 11 ksec in 2017 October and November, respectively. A power spectral analysis of the August exposure confirms the previous detection of pulsations at 163.656 Hz in Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer data, and reveals phase modulation due to orbital motion of the neutron star. A coherent search for the orbital solution using the Z^2 method finds a best-fitting circular orbit with a period of 2278.21 s (37.97 min), a projected semi-major axis of 0.00390 lt-sec, and a barycentric pulsar frequency of 163.6561105 Hz. This is currently the shortest known orbital period for an AMXP. The mass function is 9.12 e-8} solar masses, presently the smallest known for a stellar binary. The minimum donor mass ranges from about 0.005 - 0.007 solar masses, for a neutron star mass from 1.2 - 2 solar masses. Assuming mass transfer is driven by gravitational radiation, we find donor mass and binary inclination bounds of 0.0175 - 0.0155 solar masses and 19 deg < i < 27.5 deg, where the lower and upper bounds correspond to 1.4 and 2 solar mass neutron stars, respectively. Folding the data accounting for the orbital modulation reveals a sinusoidal profile with fractional amplitude 2.04 +- 0.11 % (0.3 - 3.2 keV).

Tehcnology Choices for New Entrants in Liberalised Markets: The Value of Operating Flexibility and Contractual Arrangements

Subjects: Fuel and Electricity Price Risks

description: New entrants in liberalised electricity markets which are not vertically integrated and do not operate a large and diversified portfolio of generation technologies are likely to favour technologies which offer the best prospects to manage fuel and electricity price risks through contractual arrangements and operating flexibility. Monte Carlo simulations of a discounted cash flow model of investment in combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT), coal and nuclear power plant are run to compare the impact of fuel and electricity price risks on these different technologies, as well as the value of operating flexibility and contractual hedges. In the absence of long-term fixed-price power purchase contracts, CCGT is the least risky option as its cash flow is Ã¢Â Â self-hedgedÃ¢Â Â given the high correlation between electricity and gas prices observed in most markets. Moreover, the value associated with operating flexibility and arbitrage between gas and power market is greater for CCGT plant. This makes CCGT particularly attractive to new entrants.

description: Using data over a 34-year span on UK quoted firms, this paper seeks to identify the factors that increase the likelihood of exit of firms. Firms may disappear through the mutually precluding events of bankruptcies and acquisitions. We use a competing-risks hazard model to determine characteristics leading to each outcome. Hazard models make use of the data on timing of these alternative outcomes and we exploit this to focus attention on how the hazards change over the business cycles, conditional on the post-listing age of the firm. We find that the volatility in macro environment has a role in determining, in different ways, the hazard of firms going bankrupt or being acquired.
Measurement of elastic electroproduction of phi mesons at HERA

description: The elastic electroproduction of phi mesons is studied at HERA with the H1 detector for photon virtualities 1 < Q^2 < 15 GeV^2 and hadronic centre of mass energies 40 < W < 130 GeV. The Q^2 and t dependences of the cross section are extracted (t being the square of the four-momentum transfer to the target proton). When plotted as function of (Q^2 + M_V^2) and scaled by the appropriate SU(5) quark charge factor, the phi meson cross section agrees within errors with the cross sections of the vector mesons V = rho, omega and J/psi. A detailed analysis is performed of the phi meson polarisation state and the ratio of the production cross sections for longitudinally and transversely polarised phi mesons is determined. A small but significant violation of s-channel helicity conservation (SCHC) is observed.

description: We present images taken using the Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager (GSAOI) with the Gemini Multiconjugate Adaptive Optics System (GeMS) in three 2 arcmin$^2$ fields in the Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey. These GeMS/GSAOI observations are among the first $\approx 0.1^{''}$ resolution data in the near-infrared spanning extragalactic fields exceeding $1.5^{\prime}$ in size. We use these data to estimate galaxy sizes, obtaining results similar to those from studies with the Hubble Space Telescope, though we find a higher fraction of compact star forming galaxies at $z>2$. To disentangle the star-forming galaxies from active galactic nuclei (AGN), we use multiwavelength data from surveys in the optical and infrared, including far-infrared data from Herschel, as well as new radio continuum data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array and Very Large Array. We identify ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) at $z \sim 1-3$, which consist of a combination of pure starburst galaxies and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN)/starburst composites. The ULIRGs show signs of recent merger activity, such as highly disturbed morphologies and include a rare candidate triple AGN. We find that AGN tend to reside in hosts with smaller scale sizes than purely star-forming galaxies of similar infrared luminosity. Our observations demonstrate the potential for MCAO to complement the deeper galaxy surveys to be made with the James Webb Space Telescope.

description: This thesis examines prostitution and sex work in Indonesia by drawing from seven weeks of ethnographic research with female sex workers in brothels from three major cities in Indonesia. The experiences of the female sex workers are analyzed within the context of public discourse on prostitution. Utilizing feminist theories of harm, and discourse analysis of sexuality, I argue that public discourse is polarized and has conflicting positions on prostitution as both a form of social harm and as a profession in need of harm prevention. Located within this narrative are the contrasting lived experiences of women who do not conform to either binary of prostitute as victim or professional. By including their stories, I hope to expand the understanding of the complexities of sources of harm and the unexplored opportunities for harm mitigation. This research examines female sex workers’ views on sex work advocacy, brothels as safe spaces of work, and the role of the family as perpetrators of harm.

description: What happens when a new social convention replaces an old one? While the possible forces favoring norm change - such as institutions or committed activists - have been identified since a long time, little is known about how a population adopts a new convention, due to the difficulties of finding representative data. Here we address this issue by looking at changes occurred to 2,541 orthographic and lexical norms in English and Spanish through the analysis of a large corpora of books published between the years 1800 and 2008. We detect three markedly distinct patterns in the data, depending on whether the behavioral change results from the action of a formal institution, an informal authority or a spontaneous process of unregulated evolution. We propose a simple evolutionary model able to capture all the observed behaviors and we show that it reproduces quantitatively the empirical data. This work identifies general mechanisms of norm change and we anticipate that it will be of interest to researchers investigating the cultural evolution of language and, more broadly, human collective behavior.

description: DCM (Discrete Choice Models) is a package for estimating a class of discrete choice models. Written in Ox, DCM is a class that implements a wide range of discrete choice models including standard binary response models, with notable extensions including conditional mixed logit, mixed probit, multinomial probit, and random coefficient ordered choice models. The current version can handle both cross-section and static panel data. DCM represents an important development for the discrete choice computing environment in making available a broad range of models which are now widely used by academics and practitioners. Developed as a derived class of Modelbase, users may access the functions within DCM by either writing Ox programs which create and use an object of the DCM class, or use the program in an interactive fashion via OxPack in GiveWin. We demonstrate the capabilities of DCM by using a number of applications from the discrete choice literature.

description: We study CP asymmetry for the exclusive decay B --> K^* l^+ l^- in the two Higgs doublet model with three level flavor changing neutral currents (model III). We analyse the dependency of this quantity to the new phase coming from the complex Yukawa couplings in the theory and we find that there exist a considerable CP violation for the relevant process. Further, we see that the sign of the Wilson coefficient C_7^{eff} can be determined by fixing dilepton mass. Therefore, the future measurements of CP asymmetry for B --> K^* l^+ l^- decay will give a powerful information about the sign of Wilson coefficient C_{7}^{eff} and the new physics beyond the SM.

description: Artificial neural networks have been recently introduced as a general ansatz to compactly represent many- body wave functions. In conjunction with Variational Monte Carlo, this ansatz has been applied to find Hamil- tonian ground states and their energies. Here we provide extensions of this method to study properties of ex- cited states, a central task in several many-body quantum calculations. First, we give a prescription that allows to target eigenstates of a (nonlocal) symmetry of the Hamiltonian. Second, we give an algorithm that allows to compute low-lying excited states without symmetries. We demonstrate our approach with both Restricted Boltzmann machines states and feedforward neural networks as variational wave-functions. Results are shown for the one-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg model, and for the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model. When comparing to available exact results, we obtain good agreement for a large range of excited-states energies. Interestingly, we also find that deep networks typically outperform shallow architectures for high-energy states.

description: The purpose of the study is to investigate how bisexuality is portrayed on scripted fictional primetime American television. To do so, this study focuses primarily on the following: explanations of bisexuality offered by primetime American TV, characteristics of bisexuality being portrayed, how bisexuality is defined in relation to gender, and how bisexuality is presented in regards to perceptions of sexuality. The study shows that though bisexuality is featured on television, it is featured in ways that maintain heteronormative views of sexuality.

description: Central bank transparency has become the topic of a lively public and academic debate on monetary policy. Unfortunately, it has been complicated by the fact that transparency is a qualitative concept that is hard to measure. This paper proposes a comprehensive index for central bank transparency that comprises the political, economic, procedural, policy and operational aspects of central banking. The index is compiled for nine major central banks. It is based on a detailed analysis of actual information disclosure and reveals a rich variety in the degree and dynamics of central bank transparency.

description: This study sought to determine the effect of corporate assets on profitability of brewery industry in Nigeria because of poor earning potentials that have affected many manufacturing industries in Nigeria which made suppliers and investors to be reluctant in supplying and investing. This study was a time-series study that covered a period of 2014-2018 with target population of ten(10) selected breweries industry in Nigeria made up of five(5) breweries industry listed on Nigeria stock exchange and five(5) breweries industry not listed on Nigeria stock exchange. The sampling technique was purposive, in sample selection the study made use of data from annual report and accounts of Guinness Nigeria breweries Plc, Golden Guinea breweries Plc, Champion breweries Plc, international breweries Plc and Nigeria breweries Plc. A multiple regression, correlation matrix with aid of E-views output version 9.0 was used to analyse the data collected for this study. The result of this study indicated that corporate assets have negative effect on profitability (EPR/BEPR) of brewery industry in Nigeria. In particular, non-current assets have negative effect but statistical significant on profitability. Current assets also have negative effect but insignificant on profitability of brewery industry in Nigeria. The result equally revealed that non-current assets(NCA) was found to be negatively and weakly associated with EPR while current assets(CA) was found to be positively associated with EPR(profitability). The implication of the results was that one percent (1%) increase in non-current assets would automatically diminish earning power. Also one percent (1%) increase in current assets would automatically decrease earning power (profitability). Some of the recommendation(s) of this study were that brewery industry in Nigeria should be carrying assets appraisal before buying expensive non-current assets because it drains cash and increase their debts. Also authority of brewery industry in Nigeria should ensure that a lot of funds should not be allocated to current assets to prevent them from starving fund to be used in other productive sector and too little funds should not be held as a current assets, in order not to lose competitive position in the market.
NbTi/Nb/Cu multilayer shield for the superconducting shield (SuShi) septum

description: A passive superconducting shield was proposed earlier to realize a high-field (3-4 T) septum magnet for the Future Circular Collider. This paper presents the experimental results of a potential shield material, a NbTi/Nb/Cu multilayer sheet. A cylindrical shield was constructed from two halves, each consisting of 4 layers with a total thickness of 3.2~mm, and inserted into the bore of a spare LHC dipole corrector magnet (MCBY). At 4.2~K, up to about 3.1~T at the shield's surface only a leakage field of 12.5~mT was measured inside the shield. This can be attributed to the mis-alignment of the two half cylinders, as confirmed by finite element simulations. With a better configuration we estimate the shield's attenuation to be better than $\mathbf{4\times 10^{-5}}$, acceptable for the intended application. Above 3.1~T the field penetrated smoothly. Below that limit no flux jumps were observed even at the highest achievable ramp rate of more than 50~mT/s at the shield's surface. A 'degaussing' cycle was used to eliminate the effects of the field trapped in the thick wall of the shield, which could otherwise distort the homogeneous field pattern at the extracted beam's position. At 1.9~K the shield's performance was superior to that at 4.2~K, but it suffered from flux jumps.

Cohomological analysis of bosonic D-strings and 2d sigma models coupled to abelian gauge fields

description: We analyse completely the BRST cohomology on local functionals for two dimensional sigma models coupled to abelian world sheet gauge fields, including effective bosonic D-string models described by Born-Infeld actions. In particular we prove that the rigid symmetries of such models are exhausted by the solutions to generalized Killing vector equations which we have presented recently, and provide all the consistent first order deformations and candidate gauge anomalies of the models under study. For appropriate target space geometries we find nontrivial deformations both of the abelian gauge transformations and of the world sheet diffeomorphisms, and antifield dependent candidate anomalies for both types of symmetries separately, as well as mixed ones.

Do Mergers Improve Efficiency? Evidence from Restructuring the U.S. Electric Power Sector

description: This paper analyses the performance impact of the merger wave which took place in the US electricity industry during the period 1994-2003. It does so by analyzing the impact on operating and total cost in electricity distribution. While there are past studies of efficiency and productivity effects, as well as of prices, profits, and other outcomes, this study differs in several ways. First, the database consists of many merging and non-merging firms, rather than only a few on which to base inferences. Second, all of these mergers arise in a single industry, greatly facilitating controlled comparison. Third, we have data on the several years of pre-merger and post-merger efficiency of the specific merging units, unlike virtually all past studies. And finally, we employ a powerful nonparametric technique - data envelopment analysis - to measure the efficiency of each operating unit. The results indicate that electricity mergers are not consistent with improved cost performance.
