TL;DR: The authors developed a model of rent-seeking in which the opportunity cost of rentseeking is foregone entrepreneurship and provided conditions under which resource booms tend to lead to an increase in rentseeking activity and those in which they induce entrepreneurship.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of increased environmental care on optimal technology choice and long-term growth are studied for an economy in which pollution is a side-product of physical capital used in production.
Abstract: The effects of increased environmental care on optimal technology choice and long-term growth are studied for an economy in which pollution is a side-product of physical capital used in production. First, it is shown that in case of a standard neoclassical production structure, the result is a less capital-intensive production process whereas the long-run growth rate is not affected. Next, we introduce assumptions of the endogenous growth literature. When there are constant returns to physical capital, an increase in abatement activities crowds out investment and lowers the endogenous growth rate. When human capital accumulation is the engine of growth, physical capital intensity declines and the endogenous optimal growth rate is unaffected by increased environmental care or is even higher, depending on whether or not pollution influences agents' ability to learn.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors formally study the robustness of nonparametric correlation estimators by means of their influence functions and gross-error sensitivities, and conclude that both the Spearman and Kendall estimators combine a bounded and smooth influence function with a high efficiency.
Abstract: Nonparametric correlation estimators as the Kendall and Spearman correlation are widely used in the applied sciences. They are often said to be robust, in the sense of being resistant to outlying observations. In this paper we formally study their robustness by means of their influence functions and gross-error sensitivities. Since robustness of an estimator often comes at the price of an increased variance, we also compute statistical efficiencies at the normal model. We conclude that both the Spearman and Kendall correlation estimators combine a bounded and smooth influence function with a high efficiency. In a simulation experiment we compare these nonparametric estimators with correlations based on a robust covariance matrix estimator.

TL;DR: In this article, a MEDLINE and PSYCHLIT search using the key words bposttraumatic stress, bPTSDQ, bchildbirthQ and btraumatic deliveryQ was performed to assess the empirical basis of prevalence and risk factors of childbirthrelated posttraumatic stress symptoms and PTSD in mothers.

TL;DR: The authors showed that even though diversification reduces each institution's individual probability of failure, it makes systemic crises more likely, and that full diversification is no longer desirable as a result and the optimal degree of diversification may be arbitrarily low.
