Income Comparisons, Income Adaptation, and Life Satisfaction: How Robust Are Estimates from Survey Data?
Theory suggests that subjective well-being is affected by income comparisons and adaptation to income. Empirical tests of the effects often rely on self-constructed measures from survey data. This paper shows that results can be highly sensitive to simple parameter changes. Using large-scale panel data from Germany and the UK, I report cases where plausible variations in the underlying income t...
متن کاملHandling Interpolated Data
This paper addresses fundamental issues related to the modeling of geometric data embedded in high-dimensional spaces. This covers several application fields, including moving objects where trajectories are described in a threeor four-dimensional space, and digital elevation models (DEMs). We show that moving objects and DEMs are specific instances of a broader class of complex spatial data tha...
متن کاملBetter Non-Local Games from Hidden Matching
We construct a non-locality game that can be won with certainty by a quantum strategy using logn shared EPR-pairs, while any classical strategy has winning probability at most 1 2 +O (
متن کاملHow Does Charitable Giving Respond to Incentives and Income? New Estimates from Panel Data
We estimate the elasticity of charitable giving with respect to persistent and transitory price and income changes using a 1979–2006 panel of tax returns. Our estimation procedure allows for anticipation of and gradual adjustment to tax changes, controls for various potential sources of omitted variable bias via fi xed effects and income-class specifi c year dummies, and allows for a fl exible ...
متن کاملModeling and Querying Interpolated Spatial Data
We consider the modeling of complex spatial data that require the interpolation of values from collections of samples. We rst show that the approach based on extending DBMSs with new types is too restrictive to meet the needs of data such as moving objects, elevation maps, or other interpolated spatial data. We propose a data model based on the constraint database paradigm, which ooers major im...
