Determining the transition matrix of a discrete Markov process from sequential forecasts of smoothed density functions is an important element of many problems in decision theory and economics. Recent theoretical results have demonstrated that the Perron-Frobenius eigenfunction of a Markov risk...

We present a new conceptual model of disruptive innovation and apply it to distributed ledger technology. Our analysis illustrates the new features of this technology and why there is an argument that, in several respects, the combination of distributed ledger technology and cryptographically...
