This paper presents a general theory that works out the relation between coherent risk measures, valuation bounds, and … theory presented seems to fill a gap between arbitrage valuation on the one hand and single agent utility maximization or … full-fledged equilibrium theory on the other hand. "Coherent" valuation bounds strike a balance in that the bounds can be …

Empirical studies in family economics usually rely on questionnaires, statistical or panel data. Here we try to study experimentally some crucial aspects of engaging in a marriage. First the female partner can end the relationship or suggest one of the two forms of joint venture. Whereas a full...

In this paper a two-sector growth model allowing indeterminacy to occur at relatively mild degrees of increasing returns is developed. It is shown that these economies of scale need only be present in one sector of the economy (investment). This feature of the model, therefore, builds on...

On the basis of a real high stakes insurance experiment with small probabilities of losses, we demonstrate that concern is a more important driver of WTP for insurance than subjective probability estimates when there is ambiguity surrounding the estimate. Concern is still important when...

Alternative modeling strategies for specifying subset VAR models are considered. It is shown that under certain conditions a testing procedure based on t-ratios is equivalent to sequentially eliminating lags that lead to the largest improvement in a prespecified model selection criterion. A...

This paper entertains the notion that disturbances on the demand side play a central role in our understanding of the Great Depression. In fact, from Euler equation residuals we are able to identify a series of unusually large negative demand shocks that appeared to have hit the U. S. economy...

An investor faced with a contingent claim may eliminate risk by (super-)hedging in a financial market. As this is often … quite expensive, we study partial hedges, which require less capital and reduce the risk. In a previous paper we determined … the shortfall risk defined as the expectation of the shortfall weighted by some loss function. The resulting efficient …

Under the assumptions of a bounded mean-variance tradeoff, substantial risk and a … nondegeneracy condition on the conditional variances of asset returns, we prove the existence of a locally risk-minimizing strategy … under the inclusion of transaction costs: The preceding strategy which is locally risk-minimizing inclusive of transaction …

We determine the increase of the maximum risk over the minimax risk in the case that the optimally robust estimator for … the relative risk is minimized in the case that the radius is known only to belong to some interval [pr, l'/p] " The … effect of increasing parameter dimension is studied for these models.
