Keeping it Simple–Efficiency Costs of Fixed Margin Regimes in Transfer Pricing

Mortality Regimes and Pricing

Mortality dynamics are characterized by changes in mortality regimes. This paper describes a Markov regime switching model which incorporates mortality state switches into mortality dynamics. Using the 1901-2005 US population mortality data, we illustrate that regime switching models can perform better than well-known models in the literature. Furthermore, we extend the Lee-Carter (1992) model ...

Keeping it in the family

Have you ever noticed how many biologists end up with other biologists for partners? At almost any social event, most of the biology types are paired off with other biology types and it can be depressingly hard to avoid discussions about subcloning or the price of microscopes. It’s a common phenomenon — doctors and musicians are infamous for marrying their own kind — but it still amazes me just...

Keeping It Simple

The Post-Albers reaction scheme of the Na ϩ ,K ϩ-ATPase has been remarkably successful, for over a quarter-century , in explaining the biochemical behavior of the isolated enzyme, and is still the backbone of current bio-physical models for the various transport modes (elec-trogenic Na/K exchange; electroneutral and electrogenic Na/Na exchanges; K/K exchange, etc.) of the sodium pump. Because o...

Keeping ORs' freight costs in bounds.

Keeping it in the family: the self-rated health of lone mothers in different European welfare regimes.

This study examines whether health inequalities exist between lone and cohabiting mothers across Europe, and how these may differ by welfare regime. Data from the European Social Survey were used to compare self-rated general health, limiting long-standing illness and depressive feelings by means of a multi-level logistic regression. The 27 countries included in the analyses are classified into...
