GENERAL AND SPECIAL DISCIPLINARY RESPONSIBILITY

Compensation and Responsibility: General Impossibilities and Possibilities

We consider a compensation problem within a responsible–sensitive egalitarian framework. We show that Arrowvian general impossibility results. However, if information about interpersonal– comparable utilities is available, this impossibility is escapable. We characterize a general class of allocation rules defined by social evaluation functions. As a corollary of our results, we obtain new char...

Corporate Social Responsibility and the Benefits of Employee Trust: A Cross-Disciplinary Perspective

Research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) has tended to focus on external stakeholders and outcomes, revealing little about internal effects that might also help explain CSR-firm performance linkages and the impact that corporate marketing strategies can have on internal stakeholders such as employees. The two studies (N = 1,116 and N = 2,422) presented in this article draw on theory fr...

Neutrino Tests of General and Special Relativity

We review the status of testing the principle of equivalence and Lorentz invariance from atmospheric and solar neutrino experiments. Talk presented at the Nufact’99 Workshop, Lyon, France, July 5-9, 1999.

Kernel Coding: General Formulation and Special Cases

Representing images by compact codes has proven beneficial for many visual recognition tasks. Most existing techniques, however, perform this coding step directly in image feature space, where the distributions of the different classes are typically entangled. In contrast, here, we study the problem of performing coding in a high-dimensional Hilbert space, where the classes are expected to be m...
