This research tests the accuracy of two methods for age estimation, Cameriere's European formula and AlQahtani's London Atlas, on a multi-population American sample. Digitized radiographs of 360 European American, Hispanic, and American Indian children aged 6-17 years were analyzed. The accuracy of these methods was assessed using the mean and absolute mean difference of the residuals. Results ...

In two studies, we examined the role of perceived fulfillment of parental expectations in the subjective well-being of college students. In Study 1, we found that American college students reported having higher levels of life satisfaction and self-esteem than did Japanese college students. American college students also reported having fulfilled parental expectations to a greater degree than d...

Following the economic rationale of [10] and [11] we present a new class of lookback options (by first studying the canonical ‘Russian’ variant) where the holder enjoys the early exercise feature of American options whereupon his payoff (deliverable immediately) is the ‘best prediction’ of the European payoff under the hypothesis that the true drift of the stock price equals a contract drift. I...

We investigate the (functional) convex order of for various continuous martingale processes, either with respect to their diffusions coefficients for Lévy-driven SDEs or their integrands for stochastic integrals. Main results are bordered by counterexamples. Various upper and lower bounds can be derived for pathwise European option prices in local volatility models. In view of numerical applica...
