Greek Nursing under Austerity
Introduction: In the past year increasing concern has been expressed on the financial austerity measures imposed on Greece and its effect on public hospital patient care. The influence of this hardship on nursing delivery care is evident as even prior to this poor staff patient ratios caused shortcuts in care practice in order to save staff time. Aim: The aim of this discussion paper is to crit...
متن کاملCorruption as Betrayal : Experimental Evidence on Corruption Under Delegation
We consider corruption behavior in a three-players game : Principal, Agent, Corrupter. When the Principal chooses a fair wage, the Agent faces conflicting interests to reciprocate. This delegation effect is expected to lower the level of corruption as compared to what arises in two-players settings. We set up two experiments varying in the exogeneity of the delegation relationship. The experime...
متن کاملMeasuring Corruption under China’s Dual-Track System
In this paper, I present strong statistical evidence of the pervasiveness of official diversion in China’s industrial planning bureaucracy under the dual-track system. The underpricing of in-plan goods and the ensuing shortage in the plan led to gains from trade between officials who controlled the allocation of in-plan goods and customers willing to pay more than the plan prices. By diverting ...
متن کاملRobust Sparse Regression under Adversarial Corruption
We consider high dimensional sparse regression with arbitrary – possibly, severe or coordinated – errors in the covariates matrix. We are interested in understanding how many corruptions we can tolerate, while identifying the correct support. To the best of our knowledge, neither standard outlier rejection techniques, nor recently developed robust regression algorithms (that focus only on corru...
متن کاملRobust Sparse Regression under Adversarial Corruption Supplementary Material
Recall that y = [yA; yO] and X = [XA;XO] with yA = XAβ∗ + e, and Λ∗ is the true support. The adversary fixes some set Λ̂ disjoint from the true support Λ∗ with |Λ̂| = |Λ∗|. It then chooses β̂ and yO such that β̂Λ̂ = β ∗ Λ∗ β̂Λ̂c = 0, and y O = XOβ̂ with XO to be determined later. By assumption we have h(β̂) = h(β∗) ≤ R, so β̂ is feasible. Its objective value is f(y − Xβ̂) = f([yA − XA Λ̂ β∗ Λ∗ ; 0]) ≤ C fo...
