Health fluctuations render the outcome of any treatment switch uncertain, so that decision makers might have to wait for more information before optimally switching treatments. This paper sets up a stochastic model that provides an optimal rule for the timing of treatment switch. The results of...

This paper explores dimensional analysis of production and utility functions in economics. As raised by Barnett, dimensional analysis is important in consistency checks of economics functions. However, unlike Barnett's dismissal of CES and Cobb-Douglas production functions, we will demonstrate...

The aim of this paper is to introduce the Contingent valuation Method (CVM) as an efficient method allowing to modify the utility level, of an economic agent to following the consumption of environmental goods. In the absence of the market for natural assets, the CVM allows us to create a...

Many real-world decision making situation are associated with uncertainty regarding future state of the World … decision making is denoted as decision making under risk. However, limitation to some set of discrete scenarios is somewhat … by a numerical example and is compared with the corresponding decision making under risk with discrete states of nature. …

This paper studies the impact of background risk on the indifference curve. We first study the shape of the … indifference curves for the investment with background risk for risk averters, risk seekers, and risk-neutral investors. Thereafter … deviations of the returns of the financial asset and/or the background asset change. In addition, we draw inference on risk …
