A new algorithm for the group minimization problem (GP) is proposed. The algorithm can be broadly described as follows …-known algorithm of Glover, and checked for non-negativity. The first non-negative point is an optimal solution of (GP). Advantages and … disadvantages of the algorithm are discussed; in particular, the implementation of the algorithm (which can be easily extended so as …

This paper proposes a method for separating economic time series into a smooth component whose mean varies over time (the trend') and a stationary component (the cycle'). The aim is to make the trends as smooth as possible while also producing cycles with plausible properties. While the main...

Heuristic models have been proposed for many domains of choice. We compare heuristic models of intertemporal choice, which can account for many of the known intertemporal choice anomalies, to discounting models. We conduct an out-of-sample, cross-validated comparison of intertemporal choice...

We introduce an algorithm for solving dynamic economic models that merges stochastic simulation and projection … support of the ergodic measure roughly uniformly. The proposed algorithm is tractable in problems with high dimensionality …

In addition, by focusing the algorithm on predicting judges' decisions, rather than defendant behavior, we gain some …

The law forbids discrimination. But the ambiguity of human decision-making often makes it extraordinarily hard for the legal system to know whether anyone has actually discriminated. To understand how algorithms affect discrimination, we must therefore also understand how they affect the problem...
