Abstract

Current Version: March 21, 2006; First Version: January 13, 2006, Using techniques of spatial econometrics, this paper investigates σ-convergence of provincial real per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in China. The empirical evidence concludes that spatial dependence across regions is strong enough to distort the traditional measure of σ-convergence. This study focuses on the variation of per capita GDP that is dependent on the development processes of neighboring provinces and cities. This refinement of the conditional σ-convergence model specification allows for analysis of spatial dependence in the mean and variance. The corrected measure of σ-convergence in China indicates a lower level of dispersion in the economic development process. This implies a smaller divergence in real per capita GDP, although convergence across regions is still a challenging goal to achieve in the 2000s., 21世紀COEプログラム = 21st-Century COE Program, [revised]

14. A logic programming approach to revealed preference theory

Author

Lin, Kuan-Pin and Perry, Stan

Abstract

This paper shows the direct translation of revealed preference theory into a logic program. Tests of exact and approximate rationality based on the economic theory of revealed preference are presented in PROLOG. A special case of homothetic preference of the consumer behavior is also considered.

15. Qualitative economic reasoning: a disequilibrium perspective

Author

Lin, Kuan-Pin and Farley, Arthur M.

Abstract

Extending a qualitative simulation of a market-based equilibrium model, this paper demonstrates the technical applicability of partial simulation from a more realistic disequilibrium viewpoint, where a market cannot be cleared promptly and it is subject to quantity constraints of spillover from other imbalanced markets. Some well-known observations of disequilibrium economics such as the effectiveness of policy change in relation with disequilibrium regime are proven to be correct in qualitative reasoning and simulation.

16. Two Papers on Majority Rule: Continuity Properties of Majority Rule with Intermediate Preferences. Electoral Outcomes with Probabilistic Voting and Nash Social Welfare Maxima.

Abstract

This technical report contains two joint (or co-authored) papers on aspects of majority rule. The first (with Kuan-Pin Lin) studies the continuity properties of majority rule. Specifically, it shows that certain conditions which have previously been shown (by Grandmont) to be sufficient for a society's majority rule relation to be transitive or acyclic are also sufficient for the map from distributions of voter preferences to indices identified with their majority rule relations to be continuous. Applications of this result to societies with certain classical assumptions on preferences reveal that, in such societies, the map from distributions of voter preferences to their majority rule equilibria is also continuous. The second (with Shmuel Nitzan) analyzes outcomes from electoral competitions with a Luce model of probabilistic voting. These outcomes are shown to be precisely the social alternatives that maximize a Nash-type social welfare function. These outcomes are also shown to be unanimity likelihood maxima when voting is independent. Finally, we show that the model's assumptions also imply the existence and uniqueness of electoral equilibria. (Author)

17. Continuity Properties of Majority Rule with Intermediate Preferences.

Abstract

This paper shows that the assumptions in Grandmont implicitly contain a continuity property for the map from distributions of voter preferences to the index identified with the majority rule relation (Theorem 1). We then provide applications of this result to societies which satisfy the classical assumptions on preferences in the literature, but which may have atomic or nonatomic measures of voters. In particular, Theorem 1 implies that the map from distributions of voters to majority rule equilibria is continuous in such societies (Corollaries 1 and 2). (Author)

18. A Note on the Continuous Differentiability of an Expected Utility Function: A Two Periods Consumer Decision Problems.

Author

HARVARD UNIV CAMBRIDGE MASS, Lin,Kuan-Pin, HARVARD UNIV CAMBRIDGE MASS, and Lin,Kuan-Pin

Abstract

In the setting of a simple two-period model with money, the continuous differentiability of the expected utility function is shown to follow from the following assumptions provided the monotone von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function and the expectation function are sufficiently differentiable: (a) inelasticity of expectations: (b) risk aversion in future consumption.

Abstract

Workplace burnout is common among nurse practitioners (NPs) and often occurs during role transition from a registered nurse to an NP. This study aimed to explore the predictors of job burnout in nurse practitioners (NPs). A quantitative cross-sectional design was conducted on 361 convenience sample of NPs from four hospitals in central Taiwan. Data on the demographic and working characteristics (hospital grade, years of experience as an RN and NP, practice setting, working shifts, working hours, average number of patients take care, salary, and performance bonus), Chinese version of the Nurse Practitioner Role Transition Scale, and Occupational Burnout Inventory were used. The enrolled NPs showed medium-level role transition scores (mean = 65.73, SD = 9.59), and the prevalence of personal burnout, client-related burnout, and over-commitment was 51.2%, 19.4%, and 49.9%, respectively. Role transition, hospital grade, practice setting, working hours, and number of patients take care were significant predictors of personal burnout, client-related burnout, and over-commitment after adjusting for cofounding variables, possibly explaining 52.8%, 42.1%, and 36.3% of variance, respectively. Hospital administrators should provide necessary assistance to help NPs transition to new role and ensure a positive work environment and reasonable workload so as to prevent the impact of job burnout on NPs.
