elements, are concentrated in a small interval of the set of all possible values of the distances, which is referred as the concentration of distances. Still in these high-dimensional spaces, it becomes very difficult or impossible to get enough data samples to cover the space sufficiently, and there is an exponential need for points to build an accurate model, which is called the curse of dimensionality or the empty space phenomenon. Furthermore, people easily get an illusion that, with more information

GROWING EXPERIMENTATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES The last few years have seen a significant increase in experimentation with branchless banking. Figure 1 lists a sample of such schemes that are currently operating or have been announced around the globe, and the Annex highlights the key differences in the business models in use today in terms of choice of technology platform. In Africa, mobile phone–based projects

would end up as monopoly, and (ii) the private sector could not profitably sustain marginal cost pricing. If the state does not intervene, the society suffers the welfare loss, but gains whatever innovative advantages the monopoly might have due to its size. On the other hand, the state can regulate the monopoly by prescribing its price or rate of return. The state can also operate the monopoly as a public company. – Perfect information The analytical key is the twofold literature on imperfect information

Abstract During this internship, we have studied methods of agricultural population re-creation from samples and aggregated data at the level of several districts. First we have made a statistical analysis of the Hondurass agricultural population, with the Scilab software mainly. Then, we have designed a program which creates a population from these two

MODEL In this chapter, we will investigate absence of arbitrage and completeness in slightly more general terms than in the binomial model. To keep things simple we will be content with a one period model, but the financial market and the underlying sample space will be more general than for the binomial model. The,point of this investigation of a simple case is that it highlights some very basic and important ideas, and our main results will in fact be valid for much more general models. , .~.

PUBLIC POLICIES at an international scale, but such a strategy may well be unworkable according to the firm’s activity sector as well as to its size or its profile. As far as business services are concerned, the clients’ pressure drives the service providers towards more customized and more various services. This shift can be verified in our sample but it is also worth to observe how these firms deploy intense efforts in order to standardize their procedures. Such efforts are probably necessary

backyard of a house in Aurora, Nebraska, in June 2003. This is off the end of the official U.S. scale for describing hailstones, which starts at “pea” and rises progressively through mothball, walnut, and teacup to softball. The Aurora hailstone was the size of a small melon and would have hit the ground at 100 mph. Hail costs the United States $1 billion each year in damage to property and crops. A hailstorm that struck Munich, Germany, in July 1984 caused an estimated $1 billion worth of damage to trees
