Decision making in incomplete markets with ambiguity : a case study of a gas field acquisition

Zhao, Lin; Wijnbergen, Sweder van - 2014

We apply utility indifference pricing to solve a contingent claim problem, valuing a connected pair of gas fields where the underlying process is not standard Geometric Brownian motion and the assumption of complete markets is not fulfilled. First, empirical data are often characterized by...

Optimal search with costly recall

Janssen, Maarten C. W.; Parakhonyak, Alexei - 2008

This paper builds a consumer search model where the cost of going back to stores already searched is explicitly taken into account. We show that the optimal search rule under costly recall is very different from the optimal search rule under perfect recall. Under costly recall, the optimal...

Starting an R&D project under uncertainty

Dobbelaere, Sabien; Luttens, Roland Iwan; Peters, Bettina - 2010

We study a two-stage R&D project with an abandonment option. Two types of uncertainty influence the decision to start R …&D. Demand uncertainty is modelled as a lottery between a proportional increase and decrease in demand. Technical uncertainty is … modelled as a lottery between a decrease and increase in the cost to continue R&D. We relate differences in uncertainty to …

Educational choice, initial wage and wage growth

Mazza, Jacopo; Ophem, Hans van - 2020

We investigate the major choice of college graduates where we make choice dependent on expected initial wages and expected wage growth per major. We build a model that allows us to estimate these factors semiparametrically and that corrects for selection bias. We estimate the model on the...

Advance information and consumption insurance : evidence from panel data

Pedroni, Marcelo; Singh, Swapnil; Stoltenberg, Christian - 2022 - Preliminary, April 15, 2022

We investigate whether US households possess advance information about their future income and what this means for consumption insurance. Based on insights from a theoretical model, we propose a new test to detect advance information, which requires only panel data on consumption and income....

Poverty and uncertainty attitudes

Gonzalez Jimenez, Victor H. - 2024

This paper demonstrates that well-established biases in decision making under uncertainty can generate poverty traps. A …

Solving discrete zero point problems with vector labeling

Laan, Gerard van der; Talman, Dolf; Yang, Zaifu - 2005

In this paper we present two general results on the existence of a discrete zero point of a function from the n-dimensional integer lattice Zn to the n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn. Under two different boundary conditions, we give a constructive proof using a combinatorial argument based on a...

Damming trans-boundary rivers : a welfare analysis of conflict and cooperation

Zeng, Yuyu; Houba, Harold; Dinar, Ariel; Marence, Miroslav - 2016

Dams are essential for water storage and hydropower generation, but change river flow patterns and endanger local environments. Dam projects may further exacerbate already existing problems in trans-boundary rivers. We consider three scenarios of institutional factors: (1) each country pursues...
