We generalize an equation introduced by Benamou and Brenier and characterizing Wasserstein Wp-geodesics for p > 1, from the continuous setting of probability distributions on a Riemannian manifold to the discrete setting of probability distributions on a general graph. Given an initial and a nal distributions (f_0(x)), (f_1(x)), we prove the existence of a curve (f_t(x)) satisfying this Benamou-Brenier equation. We also show that such a curve can be described as a mixture of binomial distributions with respect to a coupling that is solution of a certain optimization problem. [less ▲]

Waardenburg's syndrome (WS) is an autosomal dominant combination of deafness and pigmentary disturbances, probably caused by defective function of the embryonic neural crest. We have mapped one gene for WS to the distal part of chromosome 2. On the basis of their homologous chromosomal location, their close linkage to an alkaline phosphatase gene, and their related phenotype, we suggested that WS and the mouse mutant Splotch might be homologous. Splotch is caused by mutation in the mouse Pax-3 gene. This gene is one of a family of eight Pax genes known in mice which are involved in regulating embryonic development; each contains a highly conserved transcription control sequence, the paired box. Here we show that some families with WS have mutations in the human homologue of Pax-3. Mutations in a related gene, Pax-6, which, like Pax-3, has both a paired box and a paired-type homeobox sequence, cause the Small-eye mutation in mice and aniridia in man. Thus mutations in the Pax genes are important causes of human developmental defects. [less ▲]

The German educational model is characterized by a historically evolved strong institutional divide between the vocational education and training system and the higher education system. Yet, the contemporary development of dual study programs implies the systematic combination of institutional elements from both subsystems. The rapid expansion of these programs is based on the hybridization of organizational structures – outside of traditional structures – at the nexus of the traditional organizational fields of vocational training and higher education.

Wage Growth, Productivity Growth, and the Evolution of Employment

This Paper studies the impact of wage growth on the evolution of employment in an intertemporal general-equilibrium model with endogenous productivity growth. For real wage growth above laissez-faire levels, we obtain steady-state equilibria in which productivity grows at the same rate as wages, the real interest rate is below the laissez-faire level, and so is the common growth rate of consumption, demand, and output. In these steady-state equilibria employment contracts at a constant rate equal to the difference between the growth rates of productivity and output. This contrasts with the view that equality of wage growth and productivity growth is a condition for constant employment. [less ▲]
