  • Work hard, play hard, drink hard’

    Open AccessKirsten Lambert, Christina Gray et al.ARTICLEGender and Education2025References: 9

    Teacher attrition is a significant issue that has been the subject of much recent critical research and public debate. What is less often explored in the literature is the gendered nature of teaching and the unique struggles female teachers face in the workforce, particularly in remote, regional and rural (RRR) schools. As a historically female-dominated profession, women, particularly teacher-mothers face a distinctive set of barriers to career …

  • The Economics of Religious Schism and Switching

    T Randolph Beard, Robert B Ekelund et al.CHAPTERThe Oxford Handbook Of…2014

    Schism and switching are important in religious markets when strict monopoly or force is not involved. The Protestant Reformation is an important case and may be seen as entry of a new firm into a previously monopolized market. This was essentially rent dissipation. Other cases may involve religious consumers switching to firms that better match their religious preferences. Firms in such a setting make strategic decisions about doctrine and costs…

    The effect of religion on political behavior and attachment has been a topic of intense interest in the United States and elsewhere. Less attention has been paid to the issue of secularism. Some analysts have viewed secularism as anabsenceof religious attachment, and a number of studies have utilized indices of secularization to analyze such topics as economic development or modernization. In this article, we show that secularism, like religion, …

  • Projecting Global Datasets to Achieve Equal Areas

    E Lynn Usery, Michael P Finn et al.ARTICLECartography and Geographic…2003

    Scientists routinely accomplish global modeling in the raster domain, but recent research has indicated that the transformation of large areas through map projection equations leads to errors. This research attempts to gauge the extent of map projection and resampling effects on the tabulation of categorical areas by comparing the results of three datasets for seven common projections. The datasets, Global Land Cover, Holdridge Life Zones, and Gl…

  • Finite Mixture Estimation of Multiproduct Cost Functions

    T Randolph Beard, Steven B Caudill et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…1991

    This paper presents a technique of cost-function estimation, based on the theory of finite mixture distributions, which allows for the simultaneous existence of multiple technologies of production when the researcher does not know which observations correspond to which technologies. The finite mixture technique provides estimates of the proportions of firms using the various technologies, facilitates comparisons between technologies, and preserve…
