Determinants of Economic Growth: A Cross-Country Empirical Study
, 1996
"... Empirical findings for a panel of around 100 countries from 1960 to 1990 strongly support the general notion of conditional convergence. For a given starting level of real per capita GDP, the growth rate is enhanced by higher initial schooling and life expectancy, lower fertility, lower government c ..."

Locality-sensitive hashing scheme based on p-stable distributions
- In SCG ’04: Proceedings of the twentieth annual symposium on Computational geometry
, 2004
"... inÇÐÓ�Ò We present a novel Locality-Sensitive Hashing scheme for the Approximate Nearest Neighbor Problem underÐÔnorm, based onÔstable distributions. Our scheme improves the running time of the earlier algorithm for the case of theÐnorm. It also yields the first known provably efficient approximate ..."

NN algorithm for the caseÔ�. We also show that the algorithm finds the exact near neigbhor time for data satisfying certain “bounded growth ” condition. Unlike earlier schemes, our LSH scheme works directly on points in the Euclidean space without embeddings. Consequently, the resulting query time
Justice and the politics of difference
, 1990
"... Educators frequently recommend that children read aloud to parents at home in the belief that the activity will positively contribute to children's literacy growth. From a research perspective, however, little is known about these at-home reading experiences. Using a social constructivist theor ..."

Institutions as the Fundamental Cause of Long-Run Growth
- IN HANDBOOK OF ECONOMIC GROWTH, ED. PHILIPPE AGHION AND STEPHEN DURLAUF
, 2005
"... This paper develops the empirical and theoretical case that differences in economic institutions are the fundamental cause of differences in economic development. We first document the empirical importance of institutions by focusing on two “quasi-natural experiments” in history, the division of K ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,
, 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

Experience-weighted Attraction Learning in Normal Form Games
- ECONOMETRICA
, 1999
"... We describe a general model, `experience-weighted attraction' (EWA) learning, which includes reinforcement learning and a class of weighted fictitious play belief models as special cases. In EWA, strategies have attractions which reflect prior predispositions, are updated based on payoff experi ..."

Statistical analysis of in Vivo tumor growth experiments
- Cancer Research
, 1993
"... We review and compare statistical methods for the analysis of in vivo tumor growth experiments. The methods most commonly used are defi cient in that they have either low power or misleading type I error rates. We propose a set of multivariate statistical modeling methods that correct these problems ..."
