Quantal Response Equilibrium presents a stochastic theory of games that unites probabilistic choice models developed in psychology and statistics with the Nash equilibrium approach of classical game theory. Nash equilibrium assumes precise and perfect decision making in games, but human behavior is inherently stochastic and people realize that the behavior of others is not perfectly predictable. In contrast, QRE models choice behavior as probabilistic and extends classical game theory into a more realistic and useful framework with broad applications for economics, political...

Das Buch vermittelt einen grundlegenden und praktischen Einstieg in die Lebensversicherungsmathematik. Es ist einerseits mathematisch stringent und andererseits praktisch anschaulich. Dadurch wird eine intuitive und sichere Einfuhrung in die versicherungsmathematische Analyse von klassischen Lebensversicherungsprodukten ermoglicht. Eine Vielzahl praktischer Beispiele, Abbildungen und Anwendungen macht das Buch anschaulich und interessant.

Mit der vorliegenden zweiten Auflage wurden eine grundliche Uberarbeitung sowie eine umfangreiche Erweiterung vorgenommen. Insbesondere wurden die...

This publication links information asymmetries and decision processes of financial investors through quantitative models. The aim is to analyze empirical observations and synthesize outputs in order to add new academic insights with practical pertinence. Multivariate scoring models and statistical analyses investigate situations on the market level that enables corporations to lower their capital costs if specific conditions are met. Scenario techniques and further econometrical models are applied to research the microeconomic level.

This book describes argumentative tools and strategies that can be used to guide policy decisions under conditions of great uncertainty. Contributing authors explore methods from philosophical analysis and in particular argumentation analysis, showing how it can be used to systematize discussions about policy issues involving great uncertainty.

The first part of the work explores how to deal in a systematic way with decision-making when there may be plural perspectives on the decision problem, along with unknown consequences of what we do. Readers will see how argumentation tools...

Fractional Calculus and Fractional Processes with Applications to Financial Economics presents the theory and application of fractional calculus and fractional processes to financial data. Fractional calculus dates back to 1695 when Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz first suggested the possibility of fractional derivatives. Research on fractional calculus started in full earnest in the second half of the twentieth century. The fractional paradigm applies not only to calculus, but also to stochastic processes, used in many applications in financial economics such as modelling volatility,...
