, 1977
"... The basic issue concerning production in welfare economics is whether a market solution will yield the socially optimum kinds and quantities of commodities. It is well known that problems can arise for three broad reasons: distributive justice; external effects; and scale economies. This paper is c ..."

is concerned with the last of these. The basic principle is easily stated.' A commodity should be produced if the costs can be covered by the sum of revenues and a properly defined measure of consumer's surplus. The optimum amount is then found by equating the demand price and the marginal cost

that these schemes, as currently designed, are justifiable from an economic viewpoint. However, there is some evidence of inefficiency and ineffectiveness about the way these guarantee programs operate. Marginal take-up is plausibly explained only by the benefits perceived by private bankers.

Estimating Heterogeneous Treatment Effects of Medicaid Expansions on Take-up and Crowd-out* Estimating Heterogeneous Treatment Effects of Medicaid Expansions on Take-up and Crowd-out
"... Abstract Economists have devoted considerable resources to estimating local average treatment effects of expansions in Medicaid eligibility for children. In this paper we use random coefficients linear probability models and switching probit models to estimate a more complete range of effects of Me ..."

of Medicaid expansion on Medicaid take-up and crowd-out of private insurance. We demonstrate how to estimate, for Medicaid expansions, the average effect among all of those eligible, the average effect for a randomly chosen person, the effect for a marginally eligible child, and the average effect for those

"... Putting together a ‘Viewpoint ’ for Progress in Human Geography provides an opportunity to stand back from everyday pressures and reflect on an issue of concern. In the last five years, I have found myself pondering life more than usual, not least because in 2004 I decided to move over 19 000 km fro ..."

Margins and Errors
- Inquiry
, 2013
"... Recently, Timothy Williamson has argued that considerations about margins of errors can generate a new class of cases where agents have justified true beliefs without knowledge. I think this is a great argument, and it has a number of interesting philosophical conclusions. In this note I'm goi ..."

, the familiarity of quantities makes up for the loss of symmetry properties involved in angular measurement. To make things explicit, I'll imagine the agent S is using a digital scale. The scale has a margin of error m. That means that if the reading, i.e., the apparent mass is a, then the agent is justified
Large margin transformation learning
, 2009
"... With the current explosion of data coming from many scientific fields and industry, machine learning algorithms are more important than ever to help make sense of this data in an automated manner. Support vector machine (SVMs) have been a very successful learning algorithm for many applied settings. ..."

. However, the support vector machine only finds linear classifiers so data often needs to be preprocessed with appropriately chosen nonlinear mappings in order to find a model with good predictive properties. These mappings can either take the form of an explicit transformation or be defined implicitly
Margin Regulation and Volatility∗
, 2013
"... In this paper we examine the quantitative effects of margin regulation on volatility in as-set markets. We consider a general equilibrium infinite-horizon economy with heterogeneous agents and collateral constraints. There are two assets in the economy which can be used as collateral for short-term ..."
