National Accounts Data Linkages

This article is part of the NEDA-PIDS Seminar-Workshop on the Philippine System of National Accounts. It discusses data linkages, especially those that are related to improvements in national account (NA) estimation methodology. It contains the following: the application of the flow account chart to Philippine NA data, the uses of different accounting models to improve estimation methodology and the reasons for improving the Philippine statistical system.data and statistics, national account

A Preliminary Study of Income-in-kind Underreporting in the Quarterly Integrated Survey of Households (ISH)

This paper is presented at the Third National Convention on Statistics at the Philippine International Convention Center on December 13-14, 1982. It presents preliminary findings from a small-scale test to determine the reporting errors in the ISH regarding cash and income-in-kind utilizing an analytical framework. Evidence indicates income-underreporting biases.income

Construction of an Identically Nilpotent BRS Charge in the Kato-Ogawa String Theory

In previous work, the conformal-gauge two-dimensional quantum gravity in the BRS formalism has been solved completely in terms of Wightman functions. In the present paper, this result is extended to the closed and open bosonic strings of finite length; the open-string case is nothing but the Kato-Ogawa string theory. The field-equation anomaly found previously, which means a slight violation of a field equation at the level of Wightman functions, remains existent also in the finite-string cases. By using this fact, a BRS charge nilpotent even for $D\not=26$ is explicitly constructed in the framework of the Kato-Ogawa string theory. The FP-ghost vacuum structure of the Kato-Ogawa theory is made more transparent; the appearance of half-integral ghost numbers and the artificial introduction of indefinite metric are avoided.Comment: 23 pages, LaTe

Analysis of Political Party Twitter Accounts' Retweeters During Japan's 2017 Election

In modern election campaigns, political parties utilize social media to advertise their policies and candidates and to communicate to the electorate. In Japan's latest general election in 2017, the 48th general election for the Lower House, social media, especially Twitter, was actively used. In this paper, we analyze the users who retweeted tweets of political parties on Twitter during the election. Our aim is to clarify what kinds of users are diffusing (retweeting) tweets of political parties. The results indicate that the characteristics of retweeters of the largest ruling party (Liberal Democratic Party of Japan) and the largest opposition party (The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan) were similar, even though the retweeters did not overlap each other. We also found that a particular opposition party (Japanese Communist Party) had quite different characteristics from other political parties.Comment: WI 2018 Workshop : The International Workshop on Web Personalization, Recommender Systems, and Social Media (WPRSM2018

Proof of the Gauge Independence of the Conformal Anomaly of Bosonic String in the Sense of Kraemmer and Rebhan

Kraemmer and Rebhan claimed the gauge independence of the conformal anomaly of bosonic string for various gauge fixings in the framework of the perturbation theory of two-dimensional quantum gravity. It is pointed out that their proof is wrong. The gauge independence is proved for the gauge-fixings which reduce to the linearized de Donder gauge in the flat limit of the background metric. Similar remarks are made also for the Rebhan-Kraemmer current anomaly.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX, two stylefiles include
