Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
The (Non-)Equivalence of Input and Output Taxes Under Monopoly
No full textBayındır-Upmann T. The (Non-)Equivalence of Input and Output Taxes Under Monopoly. Bulletin of Economic Research. 2001;53(3):191-205.The author argues that a government taxing a polluting monopoly by means of levies on output and inputs can implement the first-best allocation through a continuum of tax profiles. Using this degree of freedom in the tax system, the government is, in general, able to transfer income from the firm to the public sector, so that the additional tax rate acts as a non-distorting tax on profits. This transfer – and therefore public revenue – is the higher, the lower (higher) the input taxes are, and correspondingly the higher (lower) the output tax is, provided that the production function exhibits decreasing (increasing) returns to scale
Interjurisdictional tax competition, provision of two local public goods, and environmental policy
Get PDFUpmann T. Interjurisdictional tax competition, provision of two local public goods, and environmental policy. Center for Mathematical Economics Working Papers. Vol 238. Bielefeld: Center for Mathematical Economics; 1995.This paper provides a model that integrates interjurisdictional tax
competition and environmental policy. Each local government supplies two
public goods - that benefit the local industry and the residents
respectively - which are financed through distortionary taxation on
industrial capital and pollutant emissions. In contrast to traditional
theory of tax competition, we find that overprovision of local public
goods may emerge in equilibrium. Since emission taxes serve to finance
public spendings, the supply of public goods and the environmental
quality are closely related. In the special case of a small region that
cannot affect the national after-tax return to capital, we have the
striking new result that in equilibrium two different regimes can occur.
Either we have underprovision of public goods and an inefficiently high
environmental quality, or we have overprovision of public goods and a
too low environmental quality. These inefficiencies persevere as long as
the federal government is not entitled to apply deliberate
taxation/subsidy schemes. Correspondingly, unless regions are perfectly
identical, we cannot hope to overcome the efficiency problem by
symmetrical cooperative solutions
