Further Reflections Based on the Black–Scholes (B-S) Model
The Black–Scholes (B-S) model is considered by the academic environment one of the greatest achievements of financial economics. Yet it brings with it some conundrums. The model is often used in a manner that contradicts one of its assumptions, and its predictions are not supported by market reality. Here we address, from the perspective of philosophy of science, an additional issue related to this model: the distinction between its explanatory a…

Variances and Covariances of Kendall's Tau and Their Estimation
We generalize the formulas derived by Daniels and Kendall (1947) for the variance of the sample tau correlation. It is assumed that multivariate data are sampled from a population, and sample taus between pairs of variables are being used to estimate their population counterparts. Expressions for the variance of tau-a are generalized to allow for ties on either variable, and we further provide an expression for the covariance between two taus, in…
The power of policy
This study examined the effects of smoking policy on 4,807 adolescents in 23 schools over a two-county area in California. Amounts and prevalence rates of adolescent smoking were measured with a self-report survey and a biochemical measure; school smoking policy was measured with two independent surveys of school staff. Policy effects were evaluated with multiple and logistic regression analyses controlling for school-level socioeconomic status a…

The power of policy
This study examined the effects of smoking policy on 4,807 adolescents in 23 schools over a two-county area in California. Amounts and prevalence rates of adolescent smoking were measured with a self-report survey and a biochemical measure; school smoking policy was measured with two independent surveys of school staff. Policy effects were evaluated with multiple and logistic regression analyses controlling for school-level socioeconomic status a…
