Classification of environments of entrepreneurship: Factor analysis of Registration Sub-Districts (RSDs) in 1891

This paper discusses how census data for 1851-1911 can be used to classify the employment status of the economically active population within Registration Sub-Districts (RSDs) for England and Wales using a factor analysis methodology based on 1891 as a pilot for the other census years. Employment status in the 1891 census is given for (i) employers, (ii) those working on own account without employees, and (iii) workers

Estimates of GB firm-size by sector in 1881 using BBCE sector definitions (EA17 sector codes)

Employer response in the censuses for 1851-81 gave the number employees. This information provides invaluable national-level information on individual firms unavailable elsewhere. However, deficiencies in the census process and its digital capture have limited previous analysis. This paper develops a methodology of data re-scaling raw responses to allow for non- response and biases in digital data preparation using the BBCE standard EA17 sector codes to give a first set of estimates of firm-size by sector for 1881. The paper records work in progress; it is subject to revision of method, and updating of the firm-size estimates

Primary Prevention: Another Perspective

This paper is a response to the British Columbia mental health planning report\u27s position on primary prevention. This report adopts the position of Lamb and Zusman (1979) that research and service aimed at primary prevention should not be funded with money allocated for mental health, and arguments are presented to support this viewpoint. This paper critically reviews the ideological underpinnings, the research base, and the action implications of these arguments, and provides another paradigm for mental health policy in Canada. It is proposed that a spirit of open inquiry is needed so that alternative paradigms can be explored and innovations in both rehabilitation and primary prevention can be allowed to developed

Complete Insecurity of Quantum Protocols for Classical Two-Party Computation

A fundamental task in modern cryptography is the joint computation of a function which has two inputs, one from Alice and one from Bob, such that neither of the two can learn more about the other's input than what is implied by the value of the function. In this Letter, we show that any quantum protocol for the computation of a classical deterministic function that outputs the result to both parties (two-sided computation) and that is secure against a cheating Bob can be completely broken by a cheating Alice. Whereas it is known that quantum protocols for this task cannot be completely secure, our result implies that security for one party implies complete insecurity for the other. Our findings stand in stark contrast to recent protocols for weak coin tossing, and highlight the limits of cryptography within quantum mechanics. We remark that our conclusions remain valid, even if security is only required to be approximate and if the function that is computed for Bob is different from that of Alice.Comment: v2: 6 pages, 1 figure, text identical to PRL-version (but reasonably formatted

Reconstructing entrepreneur and business numbers for censuses 1851-81

This paper discusses how census data for 1851-1881 can be reconstructed to give the employment status of individuals as own account self-employed, employers, or workers. The aim is to align information on entrepreneurs given in these earlier censuses with the information given in the later censuses from 1891 up to the present. The paper describes the reconstruction methods used and provides the essential background documentation for using the data at aggregate and individual level
