We measure the welfare consequences of market power over quality in cable television markets. We extend the analytical approach commonly used in the theoretical screening literature to specify an empirical model that endogenizes the prices and qualities offered by multiproduct monopoly cable television systems. We estimate the model on an unbalanced panel of xxx cable systems between xxx and 20...

Vertebrate cerebella occupy a position in the rostral roof of the 4th ventricle and share a common pattern in the structure of their cortex. They differ greatly in their external form, the disposition of the neurones of the cerebellar cortex and in the prominence of their afferent, intrinsic and efferent connections.

Harsanyi’s original position treats personal identity, upon which each individual’s utility depends, as risky. Pattanaik’s critique is related to the problem of scaling “state-dependent” von Neumann–Morgenstern utility when determining subjective probabilities. But a unique social welfare functional, incorporating both level and unit interpersonal comparisons, emerges from contemplating an “ext...

Four distinct systems cv1, cv2, cv4 and cv6 behaving as monogenic factors have been found in the stock 28 of Ascobolus immersus. They each specifically suppress gene conversion in a spore pigmentation gene (respectively, b1, b2, b4 and b6). In the gene b2, where this phenomenon was studied in most detail, the effect of cv2 on the suppression of gene conversion is almost total; intragenic recomb...

We define a concept of status equilibrium for local public good economies. A status equilibrium specifies one status index for each agent in an economy. These indices determine agents’ cost shares in any possible jurisdiction. We provide an axiomatic characterization of status equilibrium using consistency properties. ∗We thank James Foster, John Conley, Rick Bond, and participants of PET05 for...

We define an entropy function for scaling limits of permutations, called permutons, and prove that under appropriate circumstances, both the shape and number of large permutations with given constraints are determined by maximizing entropy over permutons with those constraints. We also describe a useful equivalent version of permutons using a recursive construction. This variational principle i...

This paper proposes a novel approach to linear dimension reduction for regression using nonparametric estimation with positive definite kernels or reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. The purpose of the dimension reduction is to find such directions in the explanatory variables that explain the response sufficiently: this is called sufficient dimension reduction. The proposed method is based on a...
