Discursive institutionalism tends to pay more attention to (a) the cognitive frames of agencies rather than to their material interests; to (b) a more dynamic, agent-centred approach rather than to static and path-dependent patterns; and to (c) the dynamics of valuation and norm setting rather than with static ones [ 8, 9].
We also compared participants' health valuations with population norms from the survey of the New Zealand general population undertaken in 1999 from which the above-mentioned EQ-5D valuation set was derived [ 12].
An absolute value is also called a multiplicative valuation or a norm.
A function is a non-Archimedean norm (valuation) if it satisfies the following conditions: if and only if ; ; the strong triangle inequality, namely, (1.3).
Research into students' career decisions also concludes that cultural context influences career decisions through social norms, valuations and practices (e.g. Lent et al. 2000; Flores, et al. 2010).
A function || · || : X → ℝ is a non-Archimedean norm (valuation) if it satisfies the following conditions: (NA1) ||x|| = 0 if and only if x = 0; (NA2) ||rx|| = |r|||x|| for all r ∈ K ℝ and x ∈ X; (NA3) the strong triangle inequality (ultrametric); namely, ∥ x + y ∥ ≤ max { ∥ x ∥, ∥ y ∥ } ( x, y ∈ X ).
Research into students' career decisions concludes that cultural context influences career decisions through social norms, valuations and practices and there exist consistent cross-cultural differences in people's willingness to become an entrepreneur (Bosma et al. 2008; Flores et al. 2010).
A function ∥ ⋅, ⋅ ∥ : X → R is a non-Archimedean 2-norm (valuation) if it satisfies the following conditions: (NA1) ∥ x, y ∥ = 0 if and only if x, y are linearly dependent; (NA2) ∥ x, y ∥ = ∥ y, x ∥ ; (NA3) ∥ x, α y ∥ = | α | ∥ x, y ∥ for any α ∈ K ; (NA4) ∥ x + y, z ∥ ≤ max { ∥ x, z ∥, ∥ y, z ∥ } ; for all α ∈ K and x, y, z ∈ X.
A function is a non-Archimedean norm (valuation) if it satisfies the following conditions: (NA1) ∥ x ∥ = 0 if and only if x = 0 ; (NA2) ∥ r x ∥ = | r | ∥ x ∥ for all and x ∈ X ; (NA3) the strong triangle inequality (ultrametric); namely, ∥ x + y ∥ ≤ max { ∥ x ∥, ∥ y ∥ } ( x, y ∈ X ).
A function (| cdot|:X tomathbb{R}) is a non-Archimedean norm (valuation) if it satisfies the following conditions: (NA1): (|x|=0) if and only if (x=0); (NA2): (|rx|=|r| |x| ) for all (r in mathcal{K}) and (x in X); (NA3): (|x+y| leqmax{ |x|,|y| }) for all (x,y in X) (the strong triangle inequality).
