Representation, Experience, and Metaphysics
Global expressivism and the flight from metaphysics
The Inessential Indexical
John Perry's notion of the ‘essential indexical’ has become a stock-in-trade of contemporary philosophy of mind and language. His colourful examples can seem to make it just obvious that purely objective ways of thinking about the world, however complete, are inadequate to explaining our distinctive rationality. The most famous one involves his realization that the shopper leaving a sugary trail behind their trolley is in fact himself—‘Oh, it is …

Household Income and Child Schooling in Vietnam
The stronger are the associations between household income and child schooling, the lower is intergenerational social mobility and the less equal is opportunity. This study estimates the associations between household income and children's school success in Vietnam. The estimates indicate that these associations are considerable. For example, the income elasticity of completed grades is five times the median estimate of earlier studies. Moreover,…
Physicalism, Teleology and the Miraculous Coincidence Problem
I focus on Fodor’s model of the relationship between special sciences and basic physics, and on a criticism of this model, that it implies that the causal stability of, e.g., the mental in its production of behaviour is nothing short of a miraculous coincidence. David Papineau and Graham Macdonaldendorse this criticism. But it is far less clear than they assume that Fodor’s picture indeed involves coincidences, which in any case their injection o…
Population and Reproductive Health
THIS ARTICLE PRESENTS and illustrates the use of a standard simple economic framework for the evaluation of policies on population and reproductive health services and contrasts this framework with current discussions of several issues in these fields. There is a long tradition of economic analysis in the population and reproductive health fields. Nevertheless, a number of current policy discussions could benefit from some realignment to become m…

The Impact of Population Policies
Lant Pritchett has argued that on the basis of empirical findings variations in fertility desires account for most of the variation in fertility rates across countries and that access to contraception contributes at best a significant but numerically small (2-3%) independent effect. Pritchett concluded that changing fertility desires and increased contraceptive access cause some trivial fertility reductions. Pritchetts empirical analysis is belie…

Population Growth, Employment, and Economic-Demographic Interactions in Kenya
Population Growth, Employment and Economic--Demographic Interactions in Kenya
Fertility Determinants in Developing Countries
The focus of this volume is human fertility and the factors which aid in explaining differentials in fertility rates between households and regions of Kenya. Several features of this study make it somewhat unique: a broad multidisciplinary perspective is employed to develop a theoretical model of the determinants of fertility differentials; 2 independent data sets at different levels of aggregation are employed; descriptive tables are presented a…
