Abstract Carl Knight argues that lexical sufficientarianism, which holds sufficientarian concerns should have priority over other distributive goals, is ‘excessive’ in many distinct ways and sufficientarians either defend weighted sufficientarianism or become prioritarians. In this article, I distinguish three types of propose a view meets the excessiveness objection preferable to both Knight’s...

Abstract Financial institutions in developing economies fail to provide entrepreneurs with access finance grow their businesses. This severely hampers economic development these countries. We seek explain why and develop an argument model based on Knight's theory, which we augment two ways. First, by describing problems embedded financial of economies, for use the Schumpeterian view that creati...

In recent years it has become evident that many marine invertebrates are sensitive to changes in hydrostatic pressure, and the subject has recently been reviewed by Knight-Jones & Morgan (1966). Most are planktonic forms, and their responses appear to be of a depth-regulatory nature (Baylor & Smith, 1957; Moore & Corwin, 1956). However, a few normally benthic types have also been shown to be pr...

The recent observation made in our laboratory that cellular myc (c-myc) mRNA has a very short half-life in a variety of normal and transformed human cells emphasized the potential importance of post-transcriptional regulation of c-myc gene expression. Jonak and Knight [Jonak, G. J. & Knight, E., Jr. (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81, 1747-1750] have reported a selective reduction of c-myc mR...

My IRIS system contains a set of forumulas that consist of actions that the Drama Manager can perform in certain sequences to create suspense. I plan on evaluating these formula experimentally. I hope to show that these formula are sufficient to create suspense, in that they are comparable to a human author's mental formula for creating suspense and better than a logically consistent baseline. ...

eñores, dijo don Quijote, vámonos poco a poco, pues ya en los nidos de antaño no hay pájaros hogaño: yo fui loco, y ya soy cuerdo; fui don Quijote de la Mancha, y soy agora, como he dicho, Alonso Quijano el Bueno. Pueda con vuestras mercedes mi arrepentimiento y mi verdad volverme a la estimación que de mí se tenía” (II, 74; 1220). With these apparently straightforward words, Alonso Quijano adm...

Epstein and Knight’s The Choices Justices make builds upon and empirically assesses Walter F. Murphy’s argument in Elements of Judicial Strategy (1964) that Supreme Court justices act strategically. “On our account,” Epstein and Knight write, “which we call a strategic account, justices may be primarily seekers of legal policy, but they are not unsophisticated characters who make choices based ...

F rank Knight (1921) proposed that we should not think of entrepreneurship as simply investment under risk, where decisions are made with respect to an objectively known distribution of returns. He argued that entrepreneurship in such a world would not require any particular skill and it would be inconceivable that entrepreneurs could earn rents simply for bearing objective risk as a market sho...

In this Perspective on the study by Hannah Knight and colleagues, Jenny Myers and Edward Johnstone consider the implications of negative findings in a variable setting in which adverse events are rare.
