The Relative Value Theory predicts equilibrium prices in a world in which time value of money is unique, and investors are risk-indifferent and only care about maximizing cumulative returns. This paper shows that RVT’s equilibrium prices determine intrinsic expected returns that satisfy the...

This paper examines the concepts of trust and trustworthiness in the context of a one-sided variation of the prisoner's dilemma, and it evaluates four different categories of solutions to the PD problem: changing player preferences, enforcing explicit contracts, establishing implicit contracts,...

The RVT predicts equilibrium prices in a world where investors ignore variance and only care about cumulative returns. Such prices determine intrinsic returns that satisfy the CAPM equation. This paper shows that assets that pay a constant (or constantly increasing) dividend but face each year...
