This paper presents an extension to the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition with continuous groups using a semiparametric approach known as varying coefficients model. To account for potential self-selection into the continuum of groups, the use of inverse mills ratios is expanded upon following the...

Assuming that cards are dealt with replacement from a single deck and that each of Player and Banker sees the total of his own two-card hand but not its composition, baccara is a 2 . 288 matrix game, which was solved by Kemeny and Snell in 1957. Assuming that cards are dealt without replacement...

In this study, we analyze the portfolio allocation based on time asymmetry of stock characteristics. In particular, we analyzed the empirical data of changes in financial stock prices during the day period and during the night period and have found that characteristics such as mean and variance...

Within a simple setup, we show that proportional taxation is implied by three properties: efficiency, symmetry, and … monotonicity. Efficiency: redistribution has no cost. Symmetry: members of the society with the same performance obtain the same …
