In this paper we describe an intuitionistic method for dependency parsing, where a classifier is used to determine whether a pair of words forms a dependency edge. And we also propose an effective strategy for dependency projection, where the dependency relationships of the word pairs in the source language are projected to the word pairs of the target language, leading to a set of classificati...

We apply the idea of partial honesty, first introduced by Dutta and Sen [Nash Implementation with Partially Honest Individuals, Game Econ. Behav. 74 (2012) 154-169.] in a complete information setting, to environments with incomplete information. We show that with private values and at least three individuals, incentive compatibility and no veto power are together sufficient for full implementat...

The aim of this article is to present the application of a strategic map for hospital management. The main hypothesis is, that strategic map for a hospital should differ from the classical one by Kaplan & Norton due to different priorities hospital work specificity as such. The main finding is that financial perspective is fundamental, basic for hospital activity. In hospital “X” strategic map,...

This paper considers the relationship between the extraction rates and remaining reserves of a nonrenewable resource. Under general conditions the derived extraction rule is firstly linear, and secondly exhibits a slope term common to all extractors regardless of pricing behaviour and costs whilst differences are captured by the intercept. Data from the world oil industry supports the hypothesi...

The opening of new markets or trade routes has resulted in the deliberate or accidental introduction of new species, while the growth in the volume of trade has increased the frequency of species introductions. We model the connection between landscape heterogeneity, resource extraction, the level of biodiversity, and the level of trade. We show that the invasion risks of trade reduce the socia...

Substitution Effects in Parental Investments The paper estimates how parents adjust bride-prices and land divisions to compensate their sons for differences in their schooling investments in rural China. The main estimate implies that when a son receives one yuan less in schooling investment than his brother, he will obtain 0.7 yuan more in observable marital and post-marital transfers as parti...
