When choosing \({N}_{i}^{L}\) firms have to take into account that firing a worker causes firing costs \(f.\) Therefore, a firm entering state \(L\) choses \({N}_{i}^{L}\) in order to equalize the marginal value of laying off an additional worker to marginal firing cost. ...

Give an example of two functions to show that the differentiable if f\cdot g does not imply that both f and g are differentiable. Differentiability and Continuity: Let f(x) be defined by x*sin(1/x) if x is not equal to 0 and by 0 if x = 0. Let g(x) be defined by x^2*si...
In Western cultures, most people enterromantic relationshipsexpecting equality. Only about half of romantic relationships, however, have a relatively equal power balance1. People lack power when their needs depend on the actions of another person, and they have power when they can control others’ ...
In doing so, we have simplified some very complex social processes. The analysis has focused on the links themselves rather than network indices. While there is value in this generalised approach, it should be considered a complement to, rather than an alternative for detailed network analysis of...
Parental involvement in sex education and the quality of parent-child communication about romantic feelings appear to have a protective effect on adolescent sexual behaviours. However, little research has been conducted on the role played by birth order
Eighty-eight (35%) patients without parasitemia were prescribed an antimalarial drug. Antimalarial drugs were prescribed with equal frequency to those who were referred for a blood slide (56%) and those not referred (58%). The sensitivity of microscopy was 88% and the specificity was 91%. ...
