Previous systematic reviews of population-level tobacco control interventions and their effects on smoking inequality by socioeconomic factors concluded that tobacco taxation reduce smoking inequality by income (although this is not consistent for other socioeconomic factors, such as education). Inconsistent results have been reported for socioeconomic differences, especially for other tobacco ...

The study examined the linkages between inequality in household expenditure components and total inequality and poverty in Ghana. Using micro data from the sixth round of the Ghana Living Standards Survey conducted in 2012/2013, marginal effects and elasticities were computed for both within-and between-component analysis. The results suggest that, in general, reducing within-component inequali...

Let $C$ be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Banach space $E$, let $B: C rightarrow E $ be a nonlinear map, and let  $u, v$ be  positive numbers. In this paper, we show  that  the generalized variational inequality $V I (C, B)$ is singleton for $(u, v)$-cocoercive mappings under appropriate assumptions on Banach spaces. The main results are extensions of the Saeidi's Propositions for fi...

In this paper we find a characterization type result for (η1,η2)-convex functions. The Fejér integral inequality related to (η1,η2)-convex functions is obtained as a generalization of Fejér inequality related to the preinvex and η-convex functions. Also some Fejér trapezoid and midpoint type inequalities are given in the case that the absolute value of the derivative of considered function is (...

We consider t-designs with *=1 (generalized Steiner systems) for which the block size is not necessarily constant. An inequality for the number of blocks is derived. For t=2, this inequality is the well known De Bruijn Erdo s inequality. For t>2 it has the same order of magnitude as the Wilson Petrenjuk inequality for Steiner systems with constant block size. The point of this note is that the ...

One of the famous mathematical inequalities is Minkowski’s inequality. It is an important inequality from both mathematical and application points of view. In this paper, a Minkowski type inequality for fuzzy integrals is studied. The established results are based on the classical Minkowski inequality for integrals. Moreover, a generalized Minkowski type inequality for fuzzy integrals is sugges...

Reprints available directly from the publisher Photocopying permitted by license only (C) 1999 OPA (Overseas Publishers Association) N.V. In our preceding note, we discussed a generalized Schwarz inequality, an improvement of the Heinz-Kato-Furuta inequality and an inequality related to the Furuta inequality. In succession, we give further discussions on them from the viewpoint of the covarianc...

Abstract—This paper uses a primary data from 670 Chinese manufacturing firms, together with the newly introduced regressionbased inequality decomposition method, to study the effect of openness on wage inequality. We find that openness leads to a positive industry wage premium, but its contribution to firm-level wage inequality is relatively small, only 4.69%. The major contributor to wage ineq...
