At once it must be recognized that religious law by its very nature regulates and restricts the conduct of its adherents. One of the major foci of The Oxford Handbook of Judaism and Economics is therefore to describe the impact economic regulation in Jewish law has on the integration of Jews...

Let Xt = [Sigma][infinity]j=-[infinity] cjZt - j be a moving average process where {Zt} is iid with common distribution in the domain of attraction of a stable law with index [alpha], 0 [alpha] 2. If 0 [alpha] 2, EZ1[alpha] [infinity] and the distribution of Z1and Z1Z2 are tail equivalent...

Let {Zn} be an iid sequence of random variables with common distribution F which belongs to the domain of attraction of exp{-e-x}. If in addition, F[epsilon]Sr([gamma]) (i.e.,limx--[infinity] P[Z1+Z2]/P[Z1x]=d[epsilon](0, [infinity]) and , then it is shown that a point process based on the...

The overall goal of the analysis presented in this report is to advance the understanding and integration in operational terms of environmental water allocation into integrated water resources management. The specific objectives of this report are the following: 1) document the changing...

This report attempts to fill that gap for two of the most important water-related issues facing the effects of climate variability and the steady degradation of the nation's water resources. The study reported here concluded that the El Niño-La Niña episode from 1997-2000 cost the country Ksh...
