This paper uses the marginal treatment effect (MTE) to unify the nonparametric literature on treatment effects with the econometric literature on structural estimation using a nonparametric analog of a policy invariant parameter; to generate a variety of treatment effects from a common semiparametric functional form; to organize the literature on alternative estimators; and to explore what poli...

where p,q and r are arbitrary constants. We construct twenty five exact traveling wave solutions of the (1+1)-dimensional modified KdV equation involving parameter by applying this method. The solutions are presented in terms of the hyperbolic, the trigonometric and the rational functional form including solitons and periodic solutions. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that one of our obtained ...

Considerable experimental evidence suggests that non-pecuniary motives must be addressed when modeling behavior in economic contexts. Recent models of non-pecuniary motives can be classified as either altruism-based, equity-based, or reciprocity-based. We estimate and compare leading approaches in these categories, using experimental data. We then offer a flexible approach that nests the above ...

For subspaces, X and Y , of the space, D, of all derivatives M(X, Y ) denotes the set of all g ∈ D such that fg ∈ Y for all f ∈ X. Subspaces of D are defined depending on a parameter p ∈ [0,∞]. In Section 6, M(X, D) is determined for each of these subspaces and in Section 7, M(X, Y ) is found for X and Y any of these subspaces. In Section 3, M(X, D) is determined for other spaces of functions o...

Today, half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. By 2050, 70 percent of the population will be urban. India has been witnessing massive urbanization. Over the six decades since independence, India’s population grew three-fold from 350 million in 1947 to 1027 million in the year in 2001. During the same period, the urban population grew almost 4.6 fold as fast – from 62.4 million to 2...

Changing the internal structure of a program without changing its behavior is called restructuring. This paper presents a transformation called tuck for restructuring programs by decomposing large functions into small functions. Tuck consists of three steps: Wedge, Split, and Fold. A wedge—a subset of statements in a slice—contains computations that are related and that may create a meaningful ...

The impact-parameter representation of the spin-flip amplitude of hadron elastic scattering is examined in different unitarisation schemes, taking the Born term of the spin-flip amplitude from the Dubna Dynamical Model (DDM). It is shown that the basic properties of the unitarisation schemes are independent of the functional form used for unitarisation but heavily depend on the asymptotic value...

This chapter presents a Modeling Language for Interaction as Conversation, named MoLIC, which is grounded in semiotic engineering. We will explore several alternative design solutions to illustrate the use of the language in diverse scenarios.

Semantic models are presented for two simple imperative languages with higher order constructs. In the rst language the interesting notion is that of second order assignment x := s, for x a procedure variable and s a statement. The second language extends this idea by a form of higher order communication, with statements c ! s and c ? x, for c a channel. We develop operational and denotational ...
