Social Contagion Of Mental Health: Evidence From College Roommates
(MIT PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2013-08)
From a policy standpoint, the spread of health conditions in social networks is important to quantify, because it implies externalities and possible market failures in the consumption of health interventions. Recent studies ...
Strict local martingales and optimal investment in a Black–Scholes model with a bubble
(BirkhäuserWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2019-01)
There are two major streams of literature on the modeling of financial bubbles: the strict local martingale framework and the Johansen–Ledoit–Sornette (JLS) financial bubble model. Based on a class of models that embeds ...
Practice Patterns among Entrants and Incumbents in the Home Health Market after the Prospective Payment System was Implemented
(ElsevierWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-03)
Home health care expenditures were the fastest growing part of Medicare from 2001–2009, despite the implementation of prospective payment. Prior research has shown that home health agencies adopted two specific strategies ...
Testing for family influences on obesity: The role of genetic nurture
(McGraw HillWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2019-07)
A large literature has documented strong positive correlations among siblings in health, including body mass index (BMI) and obesity. This paper tests whether that is explained by a specific type of peer effect in obesity: ...
Epistemological framing and novice elementary teachers’ approaches to learning and teaching engineering design
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2019-09)
As engineering learning experiences increasingly begin in elementary school, elementary teacher preparation programs are an important site for the study of teacher development in engineering education. In this article, we ...
Asymptotics for small nonlinear price impact: A PDE approach to the multidimensional case
(Cambridge University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2021-01)
We provide an asymptotic expansion of the value function of a multidimensional utility maximization problem from consumption with small nonlinear price impact. In our model, cross‐impacts between assets are allowed. In the ...
Equilibrium concepts for time‐inconsistent stopping problems in continuous time
(University of British ColumbiaWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2021-01)
A new notion of equilibrium, which we call strong equilibrium, is introduced for time‐inconsistent stopping problems in continuous time. Compared to the existing notions introduced in Huang, Y.‐J., & Nguyen‐Huu, A. (2018, ...
Preparation of planar and hydrophobic benzocyclobutene‐based dielectric material from biorenewable rosin
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2020-07-10)
A rosin‐based monomer with thermally crosslinkable benzocyclobutene groups was synthesized in this study. The structure of the monomer was examined using mass spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and ...
Cost minimization of repairable systems subject to availability constraints using efficient cuckoo optimization algorithm
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2020-04)
System availability is a key element for any industry. System designers and operators try to do their best to maintain the required availability of the systems to avoid production stoppages. They set up and undertake ...
