The Transmission of Women's Fertility, Human Capital and Work Orientation across Immigrant Generations
Using 1995–2006 Current Population Survey and 1970–2000 Census data, we study the intergenerational transmission of fertility, human capital and work orientation of immigrants to their US-born children. We find that second-generation women's fertility and labor supply are significantly positively affected by the immigrant generation's fertility and labor supply respectively, with the effect of mother's fertility and labor supply larger than that of women from the father's source country. The second generation's education levels are also significantly positively affected by that of their parents, with a stronger effect of father's than mother's education. Second-generation women's schooling levels are negatively affected by immigrant fertility, suggesting a quality-quantity tradeoff for immigrant families. We find higher transmission rates for immigrant fertility to the second generation than we do for labor supply or education: after one generation, 40-65% of any immigrant excess fertility will remain, but only 12-18% of any immigrant annual hours shortfall and 18-36% of any immigrant educational shortfall. These results suggest a considerable amount of assimilation across generations toward native levels of schooling and labor supply, although fertility effects show more persistence.immigration, second generation, gender, labor supply, fertility, human capital

Formal vs self-organised knowledge systems: a network approach
In this work we consider the topological analysis of symbolic formal systems
in the framework of network theory. In particular we analyse the network
extracted by Principia Mathematica of B. Russell and A.N. Whitehead, where the
vertices are the statements and two statements are connected with a directed
link if one statement is used to demonstrate the other one. We compare the
obtained network with other directed acyclic graphs, such as a scientific
citation network and a stochastic model. We also introduce a novel topological
ordering for directed acyclic graphs and we discuss its properties in respect
to the classical one. The main result is the observation that formal systems of
knowledge topologically behave similarly to self-organised systems.Comment: research pape
On the behaviour of Brauer -dimensions under finitely-generated field extensions
The present paper shows that if or , where is the set of prime numbers, then there exist characteristic fields , of Brauer dimension Brd and
infinite absolute Brauer -dimensions abrd, for all not dividing . This ensures that Brd, , for every finitely-generated transcendental
extension . We also prove that each sequence , , satisfying the conditions and , equals the sequence abrd, , for a field of characteristic zero.Comment: LaTeX, 14 pages: published in Journal of Algebra {\bf 428} (2015),
