An Empirical Study on the Relationship between Fiscal Autonomy and Economic Growth - The Case of China
Creators: Fang, Yixiao
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Decentralization in government

Intergovernmental fiscal relations

description: There is a close relationship between the revenue and expenditure assignment system and economic growth. Based on a literature review of the relationship between fiscal autonomy and economic growth, which shows that scholars have not made a consensus conclusion, the paper will introduce the historical process of fiscal decentralization in China since 1978, particularly as related to the establishment of the Tax Sharing System (TSS) in 1994. By studying the dataset of 30 provincial units, I find that the degree of fiscal autonomy remains at a relatively lower level after the TSS reform. There are significant variations in the level of fiscal autonomy across regions and provinces. Through the pooled OLS regression analysis, it is found that a higher level of fiscal autonomy is positively related to economic growth.

description: Outside galaxy clusters the competition between the inwards gravitational attraction and the outwards expansion of the Universe leads to a special radius of velocity cancellation, which is called the turn-around radius. Measurements of the turn-around radius hold promises of constraining cosmological parameters, and possibly even properties of gravity. Such a measurement is, however, complicated by the fact that the surroundings of galaxy clusters are not spherical, but instead are a complicated collection of filaments, sheets and voids. In this paper we use the results of numerically simulated universes to quantify realistic error-bars of the measurement of the turn-around radius. We find that for a $Λ$CDM cosmology these error-bars are typically of the order of $20\%$. We numerically simulate three different implementations of dark energy models and of a scalar dark sector interaction to address whether the turn-around radius can be used to constrain non-trivial cosmologies, and we find that only rather extreme models can be distinguished from a $Λ$CDM universe due to the large error-bars arising from the non-trivial cluster environments.

First language acqusition of functional categories in Mandarin nominal expressions: a longitudinal study of two Mandarin speaking children
Creators: name: Chang-Smith, Meiyun
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2004

description: In the present study, I adopt theoretical aspects from the Minimalist framework (Chomsky 1995), namely the theory of Economy, Merge Operation and Feature Checking, to account for the acquisition of functional categories in early child grammar. I focus on the acquisition of functional categories associated with Mandarin nominal expressions, namely Determiner Phrase (DP), Number Phrase (NumbP) and Classifier Phrase (ClP), by carrying out longitudinal studies of two Mandarin speaking children, one monolingual and the other bilingual. Based on the data from two corpora (starting from the onset of the one-word stage to the later multi-word stage), clear developmental sequences, which I categorize in terms of six phenomenological phases, for the acquisition of functional categories associated with Mandarin nominal expressions are identified. Interpretations of the developmental sequences, leading to proposals for the incremental development of phrase structure representations, together with tentative rationalizations for why the developmental sequences proceed as they do are provided. As a result of my analysis of the two corpora, I demonstrate that at least one functional head (namely head D) was already manifested in the child's grammar from the middle of the one-word stage onwards. Both head Numb and head Cl are instantiated from the second half of the two-word stage (MLU 1.5 - 2.0). However, while instantiated early in child Mandarin, the grammatical features of these functional heads appear to be under­ specified, i.e., they do not contain all the grammatical features of those in adult Mandarin. For instance, at least the specifier- and complement-feature of the head D and the complement-feature of the head Cl are still missing during the second half of the two-word stage. The grammatical features of functional heads in Mandarin nominal expressions are found to be instantiated incrementally in the child's grammar during the course of development. Overall, the findings of the present study provide strong support for the Weak Continuity perspective regarding children's grammatical competence during the earliest stage of syntactic development.

description: We have thoroughly characterized the surfaces of the organic charge-transfer salts TTF-TCNQ and (TMTSF)2PF6 which are generally acknowledged as prototypical examples of one-dimensional conductors. In particular x-ray induced photoemission spectroscopy turns out to be a valuable non-destructive diagnostic tool. We show that the observation of generic one-dimensional signatures in photoemission spectra of the valence band close to the Fermi level can be strongly affected by surface effects. Especially, great care must be exercised taking evidence for an unusual one-dimensional many-body state exclusively from the observation of a pseudogap.

description: Tango is an established genre in the international music scene, as exemplified by the compositions of Horacio Salgán, Mariano Mores, Astor Piazzolla and others. However, commercially produced Tango sheet music, with melodies and harmonic changes, does not fully correlate with the music expression one hears performed by musicians – Tangueros from Montevideo and Buenos Aires. The main problem is that the distinctive music expressions that elicit emotional responses and appear to define the uniqueness of tango, are not notated on the page. This constitutes a learning challenge for the musician who is foreign to the genre and its original context. Therefore, she must attune her perception of what may be missing and implement a more robust notation of those emotion inducing features. This need is justified as the musician is seeking to compose, arrange and perform music utilizing standard music notation. This thesis presents an attempt to bridge the gap, through performance-centred learning, to reveal Tango’s inherent characteristics. The outcome will give an outsider the opportunity to develop skills in Tango music to achieve a performance style closer to the genre’s authentic musical practice. Therefore, contextual knowledge and mastery of Tango piano vocabulary in an accessible form provides an avenue to play, arrange and compose in a manner that reflects a different approach to understanding pianism in the Argentinean Tango.

Anthelephila arabica

description: Anthelephila arabica (Pic, 1899)
 Remarks. Anthelephila arabica was described by PIC (1899) from Saudi Arabia (‘Arabia’) and later was never revised nor reliably recorded. The records from Saudi Arabia by UHMANN (1998) belong to misidentified specimens of A. bispilifasciata (Pic, 1897), and its occurrence in Yemen (UHMANN 1998, CHANDLER et al. 2008) is dubious, and is probably based on some unpublished data from Uhmann’s identifications.
 Anthelephila arabica is undoubtedly very close to A. caeruleipennis (LaFerté-Sénectère, 1849) and A. viridipennis (Krekich-Strassoldo, 1931), as suggested by the overall similarity of their male characters. Its specific rank is, in my opinion questionable, as well as that of A. viridipennis, however, this problem is beyond the scope of the present paper. Based on label data, the single type (male) of A. arabica deposited in Pic’s collection in the MNHN originates from Hejaz, which is a region situated along the Red Sea coast in Saudi Arabia. Externally it is conspicuous in having reddish coloured elytra that lack bluish or greenish metallic reflections (otherwise shared by all members of this small species-group, present in all specimens I have seen; Fig. 20). As for male characters, it differs from A. caeruleipennis only in the detailed morphology of the prongs of male sternite VIII, especially in their rather wide ventral process with conspicuously long apical setation. The unusual reddish colouration of the elytra is rather an aberration than a species character; cf. comments on variation (colour regression) in A. tuberculifer (Pic, 1897) and A. chappuisi by HILLE (1953a,b), and A. bispilifasciata (below).

description: We show that many 3-manifold groups have no nonabelian surface subgroups. For example, any link of an isolated complex surface singularity has this property. In fact, we determine the exact class of closed graph-manifolds which have no immersed pi_1-injective surface of negative Euler characteristic. We also determine the class of closed graph manifolds which have no finite cover containing an embedded such surface. This is a larger class. Thus, manifolds M^3 exist which have immersed pi_1-injective surfaces of negative Euler characteristic, but no such surface is virtually embedded (finitely covered by an embedded surface in some finite cover of M^3).

Junior ministers and parliamentary secretaries in the Australian Commonwealth Government
Creators: name: Beckett, Ian
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1998

description: The first aim of this thesis is to examine the work of junior ministers and parliamentary secretaries in the Australian Commonwealth government between July 1987 and March 1996. This thesis sets out a new approach to conceptualising the jobs of political executives. It also sets out a new framework for examining the division of responsibility between senior ministers, junior ministers and parliamentary secretaries for different components of the workload of each portfolio. It applies this new framework to examine the work of junior ministers and parliamentary secretaries. It focuses on the division of responsibility for portfolio management and cabinet representation. It briefly examines the division of responsibility for parliamentary work and party interaction. It examines different approaches to the division of responsibility from the perspectives of senior ministers as well as those of both junior ministers and parliamentary secretaries. It finally explores the roles of senior officials and ministerial advisers in managing the division of responsibility between teams of political executives within portfolios. The second aim of this thesis is to examine the wider implications of the enlargement and restructuring of the Commonwealth political executive and the introduction of teams of political executives at the head of portfolios. It argues that the introduction of teams of political executives increased the complexity of political-bureaucratic relations at the portfolio level. It sets out a new framework for conceptualising interaction between political and bureaucratic executives. It examines the impact of the introduction of teams of political executives on different groups of senior officials. It focuses on two key issues. The first is their contribution to increased political control over portfolios. The second is their impact on coordination and priority-setting within portfolios. This thesis finally explores the implications of the enlargement and restructuring of the Commonwealth political executive for patronage and careers. It focuses on the impact of the changes on relationships between the prime minister, the parliamentary party and the political executive.

description: Innovative primary care models that deliver comprehensive primary care to address medical and social needs are an established means of improving health outcomes and reducing healthcare costs among persons living with chronic disease. Care management is one such approach that requires providers to monitor their respective patient panels and intervene on patients requiring care. Health information technology (IT) has been established as a critical component of care management and similar care models. While there exist a plethora of health IT systems for facilitating primary care, there is limited research on their ability to support care management and its emphasis on monitoring panels of patients with complex needs. In this dissertation, I advance the understanding of how computational methods can better support clinicians delivering care management, and use the management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as an example scenario of use. The research described herein is segmented into 3 aims; the first was to understand the processes and barriers associated with care management and assess whether existing IT can support clinicians in this domain. The second and third aim focused on informing potential solutions to the technological shortcomings identified in the first aim. In the studies of the first aim, I conducted interviews and observations in two HIV primary care programs and analyzed the data generated to create a conceptual framework of population monitoring and identify challenges faced by clinicians in delivering care management. In the studies of the second aim, I used computational methods to advance the science of extracting from the patient record social and behavioral determinants of health (SBDH), which are not easily accessible to clinicians and represent an important barrier to care management. In the third aim, I conducted a controlled experimental evaluation to assess whether data visualization can improve clinician’s ability to maintain awareness of their patient panels.

description: Plankton is the productive base of aquatic ecosystems and plays a major role in the global control of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Nevertheless, after intensive study, the factors that drive its spatial distribution are still far from being clear. The models proposed so far show very limited agreement with actual data as many of their results are not consistent with field observations. Here we show that fluctuations and turbulent diffusion in standard prey-predator models are able to accurately and consistently explain plankton field observations at mesoscales (1-100 km). This includes not only the spatial pattern but also its temporal evolution. We explicitly elucidate the interplay between physical and biological factors, suggesting that the form in which small scale biotic fluctuations are transferred to larger scales may constitute one of the key elements in determining the spatial distribution of plankton in the sea.

description: Phosphorus (P) is the second most essential element for the growth and development of plants because of its role in vital biochemical reactions in the plant system. The positive response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to P and dwindling raw materials for P fertilizer necessitate identification of P-efficient cultivars of wheat. Thirty wheat genotypes consisting of bread, synthetic, and wild wheats were assessed for P-use efficiency (PUE) at two P levels for identification of P-use efficient and P-deficiency-tolerant genotypes. PUE was measured by recording agro-morphological traits and P concentration in straw and grains. T. dicoccoides, T. boeoticum acc. pau5147, and synthetic wheats derived from different Aegilops tauschii accessions were observed to be P-acquisition efficient, as indicated by shoot P uptake. Hexaploid wheat introgression lines pau16059, pau16063, pau16065, pau16066, and pau16067 were identified to be P-utilization efficient. Synthetic wheats from Ae. tauschii acc. pau14201, pau9796, pau14128, and pau14170; T. boeoticum acc. pau5147; T. dicoccoides acc. pau5366, pau7127, and pau7142; and hexaploid wheat lines pau16065, pau16066, pau16067, and pau16059 were found to be P-deficiency tolerant. Overall, wild germplasm was more efficient in uptake and accumulation of P in the shoots, and hexaploid wheats were more efficient in utilization of the accumulated P in realizing increased grain yields and PUE. These genotypes will be exploited for developing P-use efficient wheat cultivars and identifying genomic regions conditioning PUE.

description: We consider a revenue-maximizing seller with $n$ items facing a single buyer. We introduce the notion of symmetric menu complexity of a mechanism, which counts the number of distinct options the buyer may purchase, up to permutations of the items. Our main result is that a mechanism of quasi-polynomial symmetric menu complexity suffices to guarantee a $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation when the buyer is unit-demand over independent items, even when the value distribution is unbounded, and that this mechanism can be found in quasi-polynomial time. Our key technical result is a polynomial time, (symmetric) menu-complexity-preserving black-box reduction from achieving a $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation for unbounded valuations that are subadditive over independent items to achieving a $(1-O(\varepsilon))$-approximation when the values are bounded (and still subadditive over independent items). We further apply this reduction to deduce approximation schemes for a suite of valuation classes beyond our main result. Finally, we show that selling separately (which has exponential menu complexity) can be approximated up to a $(1-\varepsilon)$ factor with a menu of efficient-linear $(f(\varepsilon) \cdot n)$ symmetric menu complexity.

description: An investigation of possibilities for superconductivity mediated by spin fluctuations in some elementary metals is motivated by the recent discovery of superconductivity in the hcp high-pressure phase of iron. The electronic structure, the electron-phonon coupling ($λ_{ph}$) and the coupling due to spin-fluctuations ($λ_{sf}$) are calculated for different phases and different volumes for four elementary metals. The results show that such possibilities are best for systems near, but on the non-magnetic side of, a magnetic instability. Fcc Ni, which show stable magnetism over a wide pressure range, is not interesting in this respect. Ferro- and antiferro-magnetic fluctuations in hcp Fe contribute to a relatively strong coupling in the pressure range where superconductivity is observed. The absence of fluctuations at large q-vectors makes fcc Pd only moderately interesting despite its large exchange enhancement for q=0. Fcc Co at high pressure ($\sim$ 0.5 Mbar) behaves as an improved version of Pd, where the fluctuations extend to larger q. The estimations of T$_C$, which reproduce the experimental situation in Fe quite well, suggest a measurable T$_C$ for the high-pressure phase of fcc Co, while the estimate is lower for the ambient-pressure phase of fcc Pd.

description: Federally Qualified Community Health Centers - aka FQHCs, Community Health Centers (CHCs), Neighborhood Health Centers, or simply Health Centers - are public and private non-profit healthcare organizations funded under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, directed by a consumer board of directors, and complying with Federal requirements to serve medically underserved populations. In 2017 FQHCs saw more than 27 million individual patients in the United States, of whom approximately two million were seen by health centers in New York State (Bureau of Primary Health Care 2017). Despite these staggering figures, relatively little academic work has investigated how these health centers operate at an administrative and bureaucratic level. To study the bureaucratic practice of FQHCs, this research utilizes an ethnographic approach, conducted over a period of three-plus years at a FQHC in New York State (pseudonymously called Care Center). It incorporates structured interviews, informal interviews, the collection of fieldnotes, and participant observation, as well as qualitative data analysis. Collectively this research approach produces a complex portrait of how bureaucratic activity at the specific FQHC field site was organized, conducted, and structured within the context of substantial growth in the FQHC program. The setting of the study offers a unique opportunity to explore the implications of this bureaucratic activity on FQHCs and, by extension, other safety-net healthcare institutions in the United States. This research also delivers a substantial historical account of the emergence of the FQHC program in order to connect that account to the broader arc of healthcare history in the United States during the 20th and 21st centuries. This connection demonstrates the linkages between specific aspects of FQHC bureaucratic practice and larger trends in health care more generally. The emphasis on “need” as a discursive object that is frequently referenced and utilized as an organizing mechanism by FQHC bureaucracy allows us to better understand and problematize the use of need as a criterion for organizational growth.

A Grand Unified Parity Solution to Strong CP Problem

description: A beyond the standard model theory that respects parity symmetry at short distances is known to provide a solution to the strong CP problem without the need for an axion, while keeping the CKM phase unconstrained. In this paper we present a supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified embedding of this idea with Yukawa couplings generated by {\bf 10}, ${\bf \overline{126}}$ and {\bf 120} Higgs fields. This model is known to provide a unified description of masses and mixings of quarks and leptons. When CP symmetry is imposed on this model, the discrete gauge subgroup C of SO(10) combines with it to generate an effective parity symmetry, leading to hermitian quark mass matrices. Imposing an additional discrete symmetry, $G$, we show that there are no other tree level sources of $θ$ in the model; $G$ also guarantees that the one- and two-loop contributions to $θ$ vanish. We then show that the leading three-loop effects and the effect of higher-dimensional operators invariant under $G$ give rise to $θ$ near the current experimental bound, making the model testable in the current searches for neutron electric dipole moment.

Higher-Dimensional Algebra III: n-Categories and the Algebra of Opetopes

description: We give a definition of weak n-categories based on the theory of operads. We work with operads having an arbitrary set S of types, or `S-operads', and given such an operad O, we denote its set of operations by elt(O). Then for any S-operad O there is an elt(O)-operad O+ whose algebras are S-operads over O. Letting I be the initial operad with a one-element set of types, and defining I(0) = I, I(i+1) = I(i)+, we call the operations of I(n-1) the `n-dimensional opetopes'. Opetopes form a category, and presheaves on this category are called `opetopic sets'. A weak n-category is defined as an opetopic set with certain properties, in a manner reminiscent of Street's simplicial approach to weak omega-categories. Similarly, starting from an arbitrary operad O instead of I, we define `n-coherent O-algebras', which are n times categorified analogs of algebras of O. Examples include `monoidal n-categories', `stable n-categories', `virtual n-functors' and `representable n-prestacks'. We also describe how n-coherent O-algebra objects may be defined in any (n+1)-coherent O-algebra.

description: Background Overexpression of ERG transcription factor due to genomic ERG- rearrangements defines a separate molecular subtype of prostate tumors. One of the consequences of ERG accumulation is modulation of the cell’s gene expression profile. Tudor domain-containing protein 1 gene (TDRD1) was reported to be differentially expressed between TMPRSS2:ERG-negative and TMPRSS2:ERG-positive prostate cancer. The aim of our study was to provide a mechanistic explanation for the transcriptional activation of TDRD1 in ERG rearrangement-positive prostate tumors. Methodology/Principal Findings Gene expression measurements by real-time quantitative PCR revealed a remarkable co-expression of TDRD1 and ERG (r2 = 0.77) but not ETV1 (r2<0.01) in human prostate cancer in vivo. DNA methylation analysis by MeDIP-Seq and bisulfite sequencing showed that TDRD1 expression is inversely correlated with DNA methylation at the TDRD1 promoter in vitro and in vivo (ρ = −0.57). Accordingly, demethylation of the TDRD1 promoter in TMPRSS2:ERG-negative prostate cancer cells by DNA methyltransferase inhibitors resulted in TDRD1 induction. By manipulation of ERG dosage through gene silencing and forced expression we show that ERG governs loss of DNA methylation at the TDRD1 promoter-associated CpG island, leading to TDRD1 overexpression. Conclusions/Significance We demonstrate that ERG is capable of disrupting a tissue-specific DNA methylation pattern at the TDRD1 promoter. As a result, TDRD1 becomes transcriptionally activated in TMPRSS2:ERG-positive prostate cancer. Given the prevalence of ERG fusions, TDRD1 overexpression is a common alteration in human prostate cancer which may be exploited for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

description: This study examines the visibility of moral agency in the daily work and production of healthcare in emergency medicine at an urban emergency medical center in the United States.  Through detailed ethnographic research, this study investigates how the work of paramedics, nurses and physicians within their professional practice spheres of emergency medicine constantly resolve challenges that make their moral agency visible.  Several themes emerge from this study by examining and closely noting how these individuals interact and express less a principled bioethical script, but instead a personal one that is or is not explained by their professional role in treating patients.  This study follows the daily conversations and interactions that embody the local moral worlds of emergency medicine in paramedics, nurses and physicians and how each of these professional groups work through and around medical and patient care issues to create care.  As these individuals within their professional role address challenges in emergency care, it is their interactions and conversations that make visible the moral agency of the individual healthcare worker.  By examining the domain of these work lives this study investigates the ongoing and new conflicts and resolutions for the healthcare workers and how they assert moral agency; the intersubjective local moral worlds of care; use of technology to mediate care; and the structure of medicine in emergency medical care.

description: A pair of non-empty subsets $(W,W')$ in an abelian group $G$ is an additive complement pair if $W+W'=G$. $W'$ is said to be minimal to $W$ if $W+(W'\setminus \{w'\}) \neq G, \forall \,w'\in W'$. In general, given an arbitrary subset in a group, the existence of minimal complement(s) depends on its structure. The dual problem asks that given such a set, if it is a minimal complement to some subset. Additive complements have been studied in the context of representations of integers since the time of Erdős, Hanani, Lorentz and others. The notion of minimal complements is due to Nathanson. We study tightness property of complement pairs $(W,W')$ such that both $W$ and $W'$ are minimal to each other. These are termed co-minimal pairs and we show that any non-empty finite set in an arbitrary free abelian group belongs to some co-minimal pair. We also study infinite sets forming co-minimal pairs. At the other extreme, motivated by unbounded arithmetic progressions in the integers, we look at sets which can never be a part of any minimal pair. This leads to a discussion on co-minimality, subgroups, approximate subgroups and asymptotic approximate subgroups of $G$.

description: We study a simple and exactly solvable model for the generation of random satisfiability problems. These consist of $γN$ random boolean constraints which are to be satisfied simultaneously by $N$ logical variables. In statistical-mechanics language, the considered model can be seen as a diluted p-spin model at zero temperature. While such problems become extraordinarily hard to solve by local search methods in a large region of the parameter space, still at least one solution may be superimposed by construction. The statistical properties of the model can be studied exactly by the replica method and each single instance can be analyzed in polynomial time by a simple global solution method. The geometrical/topological structures responsible for dynamic and static phase transitions as well as for the onset of computational complexity in local search method are thoroughly analyzed. Numerical analysis on very large samples allows for a precise characterization of the critical scaling behaviour.
