This study compares poverty among older adults in China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan with that in selected Western societies and explores factors contributing to these high levels of poverty among older adults from a comparative perspective. Lower education levels of older people contribute to high...

Organizations and companies often need to share data for data mining. However, there are concerns of privacy breaches of the shared data which might have legal and strategic consequences for owners of the data. There has been a rich literature on privacy preserving data mining methods that can...

This paper examines the impact of hypothetical market reforms in North. We build a dynamic general equilibrium model and simulate multiple reform scenarios. We first construct a baseline model which mimicks the current command economy. In this scenario the government allocates output in an...
