Quantum decision theory (QDT) is a recently developed theory of decision making based on the mathematics of Hilbert … decision making. QDT describes a decision maker's choice as a stochastic event occurring with a probability that is the sum of … subjectivity on decision makers, the quarter law. We examine individual and aggregated (group) data, and find that the results are …

We present the first calibration of quantum decision theory (QDT) to an empirical data set. The data comprise 91 …. The prediction of choice reversal is then refined by introducing heterogeneity between decision makers through a … differentiation of the population into two similar sized groups in terms of "over-confident" and "contrarian" decision makers. This …

We propose a new parametrization of Quantum Decision Theory (QDT), based on Rank Dependent Utility Theory (RDU). Using … experimental data made of choices between pairs of lotteries, we compare QDT with "classical" decision theories, RDU and Cumulative … decision makers as either RDU, RDU-based QDT, CPT or CPT-based QDT. Our major findings are the following: the quantum …

The Quantum Decision Theory, developed recently by the authors, is applied to clarify the role of risk and uncertainty … in decision making and in particular in relation to the phenomenon of dynamic inconsistency. By formulating this notion … inconsistency occurring in some discounting effects. While time inconsistency is well accounted for in classical decision theory …

A simple counterexample shows the the widely used WACC approach to value leverage firms developed by Miles and Ezzell can create an arbitrage opportunity. The only consequence to be drawn is that their WACC approach cannot be applied under the circumstances assumed by Miles and Ezzell.

We extend the WACC approach to a tax system having a firm income tax and a personal income tax of the investor as well. We use an artificial tax system incorporating most of the G-7 national tax codes as for example the classical or the imputation systems.
