The relationship between the M-species stochastic Lotka-Volterra competition (SLVC) model and the M-allele Moran model of population genetics is explored via timescale separation arguments. When selection for species is weak and the population size is large but finite, precise conditions are determined for the stochastic dynamics of the SLVC model to be mappable to the neutral Moran model, the ...

This paper provides a centenary review of the method of calculating real incomes and purchasing power parities proposed by Roy Geary. This method is the most widely used in major international comparisons, but it is often criticised for its lack of theoretical foundations. I dis­ cuss the properties of the method and its competitors in the light of both practical and theoretical considerations....

Starting from any graph on $\{1, \ldots, n\}$, consider the Markov chain where at each time-step a uniformly chosen vertex is disconnected all of its neighbors and reconnected to another vertex. This has stationary distribution whose support set non-empty forests n\}$. The random forest corresponding this interesting connections with uniform rooted labeled tree attachment tree. We fully charact...

To specify demand in most water allocation problems, researchers face a tradeoff between flexibility and parsimony. Flexible forms are less constraining on elasticity estimates, but require large parameter sets that tend to cause poor out-of-sample forecasts and computational difficulties. Using a five-year panel of Texas municipalities, the parsimonious Stone-Geary form yields estimated demand...

We shall first consider the classical neutral Moran model with two alleles whose fate is either to become extinct or to reach fixation. We will study an ergodic version of the Moran model obtained by conditioning it to never hit the boundaries, making use of a Doob transform. We shall call it the recurrent Moran model. We will show that the Siegmund dual of the recurrent Moran process exists an...

Roy Geary spent his career using applied economic analysis to tackle important questions in public policy. I am deeply honoured to join the list of previous Geary lecturers who have celebrated the memory of such an important contributor to global economic policymaking. Were he alive today, Geary would find a plethora of issues to tackle – the economic challenges facing the world economy today a...
