In the history of economic thought, Shackle was one of the representative critics about probability based economic … theory. Specifically, he constructed his own concept of subjective uncertainty called potential surprise to replace … probability. In 1980s, the potential surprise is axiomatized by Katzner as Kolmogorov-styled measure defined on the &#x1d70e …

Investments in market economies are … generally guided by call-put option pricing models - which rely on an ergodic notion of probability that conforms to a normal … distribution function. This paper considers critiques of the above models, which include Keynes's Treatise on Probability (1921 …

A micro decision-making utility model under uncertainty is presented as a complementary foundation for macro … coronavirus models. The micro model consists of two functions, a risk averse utility function depending on wellness and a wellness …/his expected utility, given the probabilities of the respective outputs. The focus is on how changes in a person's psychological …

We review and construct consistent in-sample specification and out-of-sample model selection tests on conditional distributions and predictive densities associated with continuous multifactor (possibly with jumps) and (non)linear discrete models of the short term interest rate. The results of...

We compare Bayesian and sample theory model specification criteria. For the Bayesian criteria we use the deviance information criterion and the cumulative density of the mean squared errors of forecast. For the sample theory criterion we use the conditional Kolmogorov test. We use Markov chain...
