This paper considers the leader’s role in forming a culture by choosing the cultural focus and metric when agents have reference-dependent preferences. We find that combining a cultural work metric and external focus maximizes incentives. Principal-leaders favor this type of culture. Under agent-leadership, however, the favored culture critically depends on the relative magnitudes of the agent’...

— A relation (I.F.) is given which partially expresses the conditions to be satisfied by a séquence transformation in order to be "calculable". We can apply this relation on gênerai space and without using recursive notions. This relation gives us sharp négative results concerning séquence transformations. This is shownfor decidability problems of periodicity,for extraction problems of converge...

This paper considers the state observation problem for autonomous nonlinear systems. An observation mapping is introduced, which is defined by applying a linear integral operator (rather than a differential operator) to the output of the system. It is shown that this observation mapping is well suited to capture the observability nature of smooth as well as nonsmooth systems, and to construct o...

Morals by Agreement contained a distinctive theory of economic justice alongside its theory of moral obligation. That theory involved the principle that individuals were entitled to the full fruits of their labour in situations of isolated production, but not in situations where social cooperation was needed for production. In the latter case, factor rent was to be included in the cooperative s...
