Sustainable Development And Private Global Governance, Douglas A. Kysar

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

This Article utilizes recent controversy over Coca-Cola's alleged depletion of groundwater resources in India as a vehicle for exploring competing conceptions of global environmental governance and the role of private actors within them. Initially, it uses the Coca-Cola groundwater situation to identify core substantive and procedural meanings that lurk within the otherwise ingeniously ambiguous concept of sustainable development. Through this exercise, it is shown that - when properly understood - the sustainable development paradigm stands in considerable tension with the premises of market liberalism that drive such political and economic trends as global market integration; privatization and commodification of water …

Local Coverage Initiatives: Solution Or Band-Aid For The Uninsured?, Jennifer Ryan

National Health Policy Forum

This issue brief surveys health coverage expansion initiatives that are operating on the county or local level, often without the benefit of federal funding. The paper explores the circumstances that have made these initiatives possible and considers the ongoing barriers that local policymakers face in sustaining the programs. Descriptions of four initiatives illustrate the range and variety of programs in operation today and offer both best practices and lessons learned for other communities. The paper also includes a brief analysis of the key elements that make up a successful coverage initiative. Finally, this issue brief considers the role of local …

The Rise And Fall Of Israel's Senior Citizens’ Law, Israel Doron

ExpressO

Within the broad and complex framework of laws in Israel relating to the older population, this article focuses on a single act of legislation: the Senior Citizens Law, 5750-1989 (hereinafter “the Senior Citizens’ Law”). During its hitherto brief life, this law has undergone numerous transformations, ups and downs, additions and deletions, successes and failures. At the time of its enactment, there were those who placed great hopes for the future of older people's rights on the law. As of today, however, this article will attempt to argue that the law has failed to realize its objectives. The article includes two …

A Note On The Construction Of Counterfactuals And The G-Computation Formula, Zhuo Yu, Mark J. Van Der Laan

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Robins' causal inference theory assumes existence of treatment specific counterfactual variables so that the observed data augmented by the counterfactual data will satisfy a consistency and a randomization assumption. In this paper we provide an explicit function that maps the observed data into a counterfactual variable which satisfies the consistency and randomization assumptions. This offers a practically useful imputation method for counterfactuals. Gill & Robins [2001]'s construction of counterfactuals can be used as an imputation method in principle, but it is very hard to implement in practice. Robins [1987] shows that the counterfactual distribution can be identified from the observed …

Cross-Validated Bagged Learning, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Sandra E. Sinisi, Maya L. Petersen

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Many applications aim to learn a high dimensional parameter of a data generating distribution based on a sample of independent and identically distributed observations. For example, the goal might be to estimate the conditional mean of an outcome given a list of input variables. In this prediction context, Breiman (1996a) introduced bootstrap aggregating (bagging) as a method to reduce the variance of a given estimator at little cost to bias. Bagging involves applying the estimator to multiple bootstrap samples, and averaging the result across bootstrap samples. In order to deal with the curse of dimensionality, typical practice has been to …
