Algebraic Ordinals

An algebraic tree T is one determined by a finite system of fixed point equations. The frontier Fr(T) of an algebraic tree T is linearly ordered by the lexicographic order < ℓ. If (Fr(T) < ℓ) is well-ordered, its order type is an algebraic ordinal. We prove that the algebraic ordinals are exactly the ordinals less than ω ω ω .

Disease and Development: A Reply to Bloom, Canning, and Fink

Beginning in the 1940s, a wave of health innovations and more effective international public health measures led to a rapid and large improvement in health; for example, in some relatively poor countries, life expectancy at birth quickly rose from around 40 years to over 60 years. In Acemoglu and Johnson ð2006, 2007Þ, we constructed an instrument for these changes in life expectancy: “predicted...
