Abstract:
... It has been argued that the top income share index is better than the Gini coefficient to capture the recent deterioration of inequality. This paper derives a neat analytical formula for comparing the elasticities of the Gini index and the top income share index with respect to an increase in the income of the rich group, reflecting the recent trend. We then use data for France, Taiwan and the U.S ...

Abstract:
... Differences in the initial configuration of ecological communities may lead to contrasting trajectories when facing environmental changes. Here, we propose to uncover the determinism of benthic communities by carrying out a detailed investigation of their response to small-scale modification of environmental conditions, including physical, chemical, and geological factors. At ten locations (confou ...

Abstract:
... The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) can supportively organize complex datasets such as highly dimensional flood inundation maps. Nevertheless, SOM may produce distinct patterns after being trained with identical samples or may not converge in clustering highly dimensional datasets, which causes usability concerns and prevents its applications from a broader spectrum. Motivated by such concerns, two trai ...
