Parental monitoring: a reinterpretation.
Monitoring (tracking and surveillance) of children's behavior is considered an essential parenting skill. Numerous studies show that well-monitored youths are less involved in delinquency and other normbreaking behaviors, and scholars conclude that parents should track their children more carefully. This study questions that conclusion. We point out that monitoring measures typically assess par...
متن کاملBiodiversity in the Phanerozoic: a reinterpretation
—Many features of global diversity compilations have proven robust to continued sampling and taxonomic revision. Inherent biases in the stratigraphic record may nevertheless substantially affect estimates of global taxonomic diversity. Here we focus on short-term (epoch-level) changes in apparent diversity. We use a simple estimate of the amount of marine sedimentary rock available for sampling...
متن کاملSaving and growth: a reinterpretation*
We examine the relationship between income growth and saving using both cross-country and household data. At the aggregate level, we find that growth Granger causes saving, but saving does not Granger cause growth. Using household data, we find that households with predictably higher income growth save more than households with predictably low growth. We argue that standard permanent income mod...
متن کاملA reinterpretation of the Taub singularity
We reinterpret the well known Taub-singularity in terms of a cylinder symmetric geometry. It is shown that a cylindrical analog to the Einstein-Rosen bridge as well as a cosmic string will be present in the geometry.

متن کاملA Reinterpretation of Interactions in Regressions
Regression specifications in applied econometrics frequently employ regressors that are defined as the product of two other regressors to form an interaction. Unfortunately, the interpretation of the results of these models is not as straight forward as in the linear case. In this paper, we present a method for drawing inferences for interaction models by defining the partial influence function...
