The Social and Political Challenge of Inflation: An Economist\u27s View

This Special Issue of the Journal of Law Reform has been nourished, at least in an emotional sense, by this same concern. The editors of the Journal apparently share the widespread frustration regarding what seem to increasing numbers of citizens as the largely intractable nature of the country\u27s current economic ills. There is a certain apprehension that we may not be able to develop solutions to our lagging productivity, to our continuing inflation and unemployment, to our energy problem, or to a host of other economic issues currently outstanding on the national agenda: unemployment of young people and minorities, environmental decay, economic security, trade policy, and the role of government in guiding our economic destiny

Generalized Analytic Continuation

The theory of generalized analytic continuation studies continuations of meromorphic functions in situations where traditional theory says there is a natural boundary. This broader theory touches on a remarkable array of topics in classical analysis, as described in the book. This book addresses the following questions: (1) When can we say, in some reasonable way, that component functions of a meromorphic function on a disconnected domain, are continuations of each other? (2) What role do such continuations play in certain aspects of approximation theory and operator theory? The authors use the strong analogy with the summability of divergent series to motivate the subject. In this vein, for instance, theorems can be described as being Abelian or Tauberian . The introductory overview carefully explains the history and context of the theory. The authors begin with a review of the works of Poincaré, Borel, Wolff, Walsh, and Gončar, on continuation properties of Borel series and other meromorphic functions that are limits of rapidly convergent sequences of rational functions. They then move on to the work of Tumarkin, who looked at the continuation properties of functions in the classical Hardy space of the disk in terms of the concept of pseudocontinuation . Tumarkin\u27s work was seen in a different light by Douglas, Shapiro, and Shields in their discovery of a characterization of the cyclic vectors for the backward shift operator on the Hardy space. The authors cover this important concept of pseudocontinuation quite thoroughly since it appears in many areas of analysis. They also add a new and previously unpublished method of continuation to the list, based on formal multiplication of trigonometric series, which can be used to examine the backward shift operator on many spaces of analytic functions. The book attempts to unify the various types of continuations and suggests some interesting open questions.https://scholarship.richmond.edu/bookshelf/1093/thumbnail.jp

Prolongations and cyclic vectors

For functions belonging to invariant subspaces of the backward shift operator Bf = (f − f(0))/z on spaces of analytic functions on the unit disk D, we explore, in a systematic way, the continuation properties of these functions

The allocation of household income to food consumption

Low-income households - those toward which various income supplement programs are aimed - not only spend a large share of their incomes on food, but exhibit a higher income elasticity of demand for food than does the rest of the population. Further, a greater proportion of the marginal income generated via welfare payments and food subsidy programs (e.g., food stamps) is devoted to food consumption than is true of wage income. These are among the major conclusions emerging from an extensive Engel Curve analysis applied to the data generated by a five-year (1968-1972) panel study of 5000 U.S. households.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/21776/1/0000170.pd
