the absence of asymptotic arbitrage of the first kind is equivalent to the contiguity of sequence of objective … arbitrage of the second kind is equivalent to the contiguity of the sequence of lower envelopes of equivalent martingale … measures with respect to the sequence of objective probabilities. We express criteria of contiguity in terms of the Hellinger …

Economic conditions exert a strong influence on regional migration. On the one hand, strong labour market conditions, as exemplified by low unemployment rates and high earnings, draw migrants into regions. On the other hand, strong housing market conditions can prevent movement since expensive...
