The authors establish when do the moments E(Xh), for h in some subset C of IR, uniquely identify the distribution of any positive random variable X, that is, when is xh a separating function. The simple necessary and sufficient condition is shown to be related with the existence of the moment generating function of the random variable Y = logX. The subset C of IR is thus the set of values of h for which the mom...
Neste relatório apresentam-se os resultados obtidos com um estudo conduzido por uma equipa envolvendo parceiros de diferentes instituições, com o objetivo de medir o impacto económico de um conjunto de Institutos Politécnicos, situados em diferentes regiões do país, com contextos socioeconómicos diversos e distinta capacidade de atração de estudantes.
