Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, probability and constitutions: at the intersection of the Scottish, American, and French enlightenments.
This paper discusses option valuation logic and four selected methods for the valuation of real options in the light of their modeling choices. Two of the selected methods the Datar–Mathews method and the Fuzzy Pay-off Method represent later developments in real option valuation and the Black & Scholes formula and the Binomial model for option pricing the more established methods used in real option valuation. The goal of this paper is to understand the big picture of real option valuation models...
We analyze axiomatic properties of three types of additive solutions of cooperative games with a priori unions structure. One of these is the Banzhaf value with a priori unions introduced by G. Owen (1981), which has not been axiomatically characterized as yet. Generalizing Owen's approach and the constructions discussed by J. Deegan and E. W. Packel (1979) and L. M. Ruiz, F. Valenciano and J. M. Zarzuelo (1996) we define and study two other solutions. These are the Deegan-Packel value with a priori...
The recursive methods are popular in time series analysis since they are computationally efficient and flexible enough to treat various changes in character of data. This paper gives a survey of the most important type of these methods including their classification and relationships existing among them. Special attention is devoted to i) robustification of some recursive methods, capable of facing outliers in time series, and ii) modifications of recursive methods for time series with missing observations....
Top responsiveness was shown by Alcalde and Revilla [AR] to guarantee the existence of core stable partitions in hedonic coalition formation games. In this paper we prove the existence of Nash stable partitions under top responsiveness when a mutuality condition is imposed.
Dans cet article on étudie les propriétés d’ordres totaux à distance minimum d’un ensemble de tournois ; on montre, par exemple, que ces ordres contiennent l’ordre d’unanimité. On étudie la fonction maximum de la distance entre un ordre total et tournois définis sur un ensemble à éléments ; on donne sa valeur exacte pour pair, un encadrement pour impair, et sa valeur limite pour tendant vers l’infini.
En la Teoría de la Decisión en Grupo, cuando los expertos emiten su información sobre los objetos de una manera probabilística, se pueden construir Principios de Consistencia que satisfagan los cinco principios de racionalidad y no sean dictatoriales [ver Sánchez-Pérez-Domench (1986)].Partiendo de esta situación, en el presente artículo se analizan y proponen diferentes métodos y algoritmos para transformar relaciones sociales aleatorias en determinísticas, continuando y completando así investigaciones...
