This book deals with dynamic and stochastic methods for multi-project planning. Based on the idea of using queueing networks for the analysis of dynamic-stochastic multi-project environments this book addresses two problems: detailed scheduling of project activities, and integrated order...

This textbook gives a comprehensive introduction to stochastic processes and calculus in the fields of finance and economics, more specifically mathematical finance and time series econometrics. Over the past decades stochastic calculus and processes have gained great importance, because they...

This book gives an authoritative overview of the literature on non-stationarity, integration and unit roots, providing direction and guidance. It also provides detailed examples to show how the techniques can be applied in practical situations and the pitfalls to avoid.

I. Dynamic Decision Problems under Uncertainty: Modeling Aspects -- Reflections on Output Analysis for Multistage Stochastic Linear Programs -- Modeling Support for Multistage Recourse Problems -- Optimal Solutions for Undiscounted Variance Penalized Markov Decision Chains -- Approximation and...

Models -- and Examples -- Uncertainty and Modeling Issues -- Basic Properties -- Basic Properties and Theory -- The Value of Information and the Stochastic Solution -- Solution Methods -- Two-Stage Linear Recourse Problems -- Nonlinear Programming Approaches to Two-Stage Recourse Problems --...

This book is devoted to investment decision-making under uncertainty. The book covers three basic approaches to this process: the stochastic dominance approach; the mean-variance approach; and the non-expected utility approach, focusing on prospect theory and its modified version, cumulative...

Aims to give a view of the scientific production in the fields of Agent-based Computational Economics, mainly in Market Finance and Game Theory. Based on communications given at AE'2005 (Lille, USTL, France), this book offers a panorama of advances in ACE, both theoretical and methodological...

Provides an analysis of dynamic modelling in econometrics by bridging the unit-root gap between structural and time series approaches and focusing on representation theorems of (co)integrated processes.The book also presents an analytical setting to guide the formulation and solution in closed...

The focus of this volume is on the development of new approaches for the market-conform valuation of newly issued derivatives. The first chapter presents a flexible approach to construct the binomial process of the underlying asset price by using a simultaneously backward and forward induction...
