A mutual link between poverty and environmental degradation is examined in an overlapping generations model with environmental externality, human capital, and credit constraints. Environmental quality affects labor productivity and thus wealth dynamics, whereas wealth distribution determines the...

Optimization algorithms must be among the most common numerical methods used by economists. Yet, there is surprisingly …

In a discrete setting, we develop a model for pricing a contingent claim. Since the presence of hedging opportunities influences the price of a contingent claim, first we introduce the optimal hedging strategy assuming a contingent claim has been issued: a strategy implemented by investing the...

We consider optimization problems involving coherent risk measures. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions of … measures, and we formulate multistage optimization problems involving these measures. Conditions similar to dynamic programming …

The development of a mechanistic analytical approach – since mid-19th century to WWI, and beyond – is a well-known story in European economic thought, the story of Cournot, Jevons, Walras, Edgeworth, Pareto, and many others. We could refer to this tradition as “mathematical deductivism”,...

The recent rapid accumulation of anomalous empirical research results has made clear that the classical definition of financial risk based on asset classes only is ready for a epistemological change. Currently, the definition of financial risk suffers from three major deficiencies: (1) financial...

A model of capital service is constructed on stylized consumer behaviour and the total quantity of financial resources. The demand for money becomes a function of the wage rate under agreement as well as interests rates and overall economic activity.

It is assumed that performance of production system can be described with the three variables: amount of production equipment -- capital stock $K$ and 'consumption' of labour L and capital services S. It is shown that the production function can be specified as the known Cobb- Douglas production...

In this paper the random order approach to values of non-atomic games is reformulated by generating random orders from a fixed subgroup of automorphisms, $\Theta$ that admits an invariant probability measurable group structure. The resulting $\Theta$-symmetric random order value operator is...
