Roger Thatcher c aINSERM, Health and Demography, bProgram in Urban Public Health at Hunter College and CUNY Institute for Demographic Research, cFormer Director of the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys, London Correspondence: [email protected] Short abstract (150 words): The M Project - M for Mode - started in 2005 with the aim of studying the adult longevity to better understand the lengthening of adult life duration in contrast with the fall of infant and child mortality and the increase in life expectancy at birth. Specific targets deal with the assessment of the occurrence of the scenario of mortality compression, the shape of the distribution of adult life durations, their dispersion around the modal age at death (M), and the extreme values such as the maximum reported ages at death. Disentangling socio-economic inequalities (SES) in adult longevity from “limit” variability may be an important target in the future of the M-Group. Several papers have already been published; others are in press or in progress. They deal with actual data, formal demography and mechanisms of the compression of mortality. We propose to summarize our results for the general IUSSP conference (150 words).

  • The Social System of Systems Intelligence – a Study Based on Search Engine Method
    In Essays on Systems Intelligence, eds. Raimo P. Hämäläinen and Esa Saarinen: pp. 119-133 Espoo: Aalto University, School of Science and Technology, Systems Analysis Laboratory Chapter 5 The Social System of Systems Intelligence – A Study Based on Search Engine Method Kalevi Kilkki This essay offers an preliminary study on systems intelligence as a social system based on four cornerstones: writings using the terminology of systems intelligence, search engines, models to describe the behavior of social phenomena, and a theory of social systems. As a result we provide an illustration of systems intelligence field as a network of key persons. The main conclusion is that the most promising area for systems intelligence as social system is to systematically apply positive psychology to develop organizational management and to solve our everyday problems. Introduction The social system of systems intelligence is an ambitious topic, particularly for a person without any formal studies in sociology. Moreover, systems intelligence is a novel area of science and, hence, the development of its social structures is in early phase. It is even possible to argue that there is not yet any social system of systems intelligence. The approach of this study is based on four cornerstones: first, the literature that has used concept of systems intelligence, second, search engines, third, models to describe the behavior of social phenomena, and forth, a theory of social systems. As a result we may be able to say something novel about the development of systems intelligence as a social system. As to the social systems this essay relies on the grand theory developed by Niklas Luhmann (Luhmann 1995).

  • Effects of Fertility Decline on Family Well Being: Opportunities for Evaluating Population Programs*
    DRAFT: Comment Welcomed [email protected] Effects of Fertility Decline on Family Well Being: Opportunities for Evaluating Population Programs* T. Paul Schultz Yale University March 14, 2005 Abstract The paper considers the association between fertility and family outcomes. Voluntary population programs are supported to help people control their fertility and improve their lives, but just how strong is this link? Evaluations of family planning programs rarely isolate the contribution of policies to fertility reduction and thereby to the long run welfare of families. Many other developments are attributed a role in declining fertility. Do these two distinct sources of fertility variation have different welfare implications? To identify the effect of fertility, such as might be caused by exogenous factors including policies, empirical analysis has focused on the consequences of twins, the sex composition of initial births, and subsidies to local family planning, all of which may impact fertility independently of desired fertility and affect other family outcomes, such as the mother’s market labor supply, and the health and schooling of her children. Instrumental variable estimates of the “cross-effect” of fertility on family welfare tend to be about half as large as the direct OLS estimates. Are quantity and quality of children really substitutes, and are the family benefits of exogenous fertility decline as large as the cross sectional associations would suggest? 193 words Keywords: Population Programs Evaluations, Consequences of Fertility Decline, Demographic Transition JEL classification: J13, J11 , J13 * Support for preparing this paper was provided by the MacArthur Foundation and the discussion of their network and comments of referees on a previous draft are appreciated.

  • 1700-1865 Martin Schmidt, Doct
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: INSTITUTIONAL PERSISTENCE AND CHANGE IN ENGLAND’S COMMON LAW: 1700-1865 Martin Schmidt, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Peter Murrell, Department of Economics Institutions are widely regarded as important, even ultimate drivers of economic growth and performance. A recent mainstream of institutional economics has concentrated on the effect of persisting, often imprecisely measured institutions and on cataclysmic events as agents of noteworthy institutional change. As a consequence, institutional change without large-scale shocks has received little attention. In this dissertation I apply a complementary, quantitative-descriptive approach that relies on measures of actually enforced institutions to study institutional persistence and change over a long time period that is undisturbed by the typically studied cataclysmic events. By placing institutional change into the center of attention one can recognize different speeds of institutional innovation and the continuous coexistence of institutional persistence and change. Specifically, I combine text mining procedures, network analysis techniques and statistical approaches to study persistence and change in England’s common law over the Industrial Revolution (1700-1865). Based on the doctrine of precedent - a peculiarity of common law systems - I construct and analyze the apparently first citation network that reflects lawmaking in England. Most strikingly, I find large-scale change in the making of English common law around the turn of the 19th century - a period free from the typically studied cataclysmic events. Within a few decades a legal innovation process with low depreciation rates (1 to 2 percent) and strong past-persistence transitioned to a present-focused innovation process with significantly higher depreciation rates (4 to 6 percent) and weak past-persistence.

    WHITE PAPER SYSTEMS THINKING AND FOUR FORMS OF COMPLEXITY > PhiliPPE VAndenBRoeck June 2015 BIO PhiliPPE VAndenBRoeck Philippe Vandenbroeck is co-founder and Partner at shiftN. www.shiftn.com/about contents 5 A PARADIGM SHIFT 6 SYSTEMS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT 7 DEALING WITH DYNAMIC COMPLEXITY 10 DEALING WITH ARCHITECTURAL COMPLEXITY 12 DEALING WITH RELATIONAL COMPLEXITY 15 DEALING WITH GENERATIVE COMPLEXITY 17 CONCLUSION Systems thinking is on the rise. Even so, there are many misconceptions about what it is. Perhaps this shouldn’t come as a surprise because, paradoxically enough, systems thinking is not a well-defined intellectual discipline. The Inter- national Institute for General Systems Studies (IIGSS) once produced a family tree of systems thinking in a poster, which was a bewilderingly dense network of family relationships (2001). At its base, we find Babylonian astronomers and Pre-Socratic philosophers. The top has thinkers from the fields of chaos theory, computational linguistics and complexity economics. In between, we find almost every meaningful intellectual movement of the past 2,500 years. Other repre- sentations mirror the same basic picture: a multidisciplinary tangle of sciences leading to a broad ‘delta’ of approaches to systems, with all kinds of secondary movements and schools.

The development of systems thinking is not finished, which in part explains why the discipline appears so fragmented to us.

  • Stuck in the Tunnel: Is Globalization Muddling the Middle Class?
    Stuck In The Tunnel: Is Globalization Muddling The Middle Class? Nancy Birdsall, Carol Graham, and Stefano Pettinato Center on Social and Economic Dynamics Working Paper No. 14 August 2000 ABSTRACT Our objective in this paper is to assess how middle-income groups are faring with the global turn to the market. We suggest some simple measures of the middle—the size and income shares of households around the median (75/125%)—and their income status relative to wealthier counterparts. Our results point to genuine distributional stress for middle-income households, as well as public perceptions of such stress. They also suggest the need for new measures to capture distributional trends that are masked by aggregate measures. We posit that the fate of those in the middle merits new attention, as their political support and economic participation are critical to sustainable, market-oriented growth and poverty reduction in the long-term. ____________________ Birdsall ([email protected]) is Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; Graham ([email protected]) is Senior Fellow and Co-Director of the Center on Social and Economic Dynamics at the Brookings Institution; Pettinato ([email protected]) is Senior Research Analyst at the Brookings Institution.

Emphasis during the seminar will be placed on critical interpretation of assigned readings through the active participation of students in classroom dialogue and debate. Useful participation will be informed by knowledge of the readings and a willingness to share doubts as well as insights and certainties. Each session will open with different students providing succinct summaries of one or two of the required readings to lay the groundwork for discussion. These summaries will be for a maximum of 7 minutes. They will specify the key issues being addressed, the main arguments of the reading(s) and the supporting evidence and offer an opinion on the strengths and limitations of authors’ analysis.
