Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common clinical problem and potent risk factor for stroke. However, real-world effectiveness and outcomes for AF patients are not well described. Objective: To compare the economic and clinical impact of stroke and warfarin use on patients with...

In this paper we propose a consensus group decision making scheme under model uncertainty consisting of a two-stage procedure and based on the concept of Fr´echet barycenter. The first stage is a clustering procedure in the metric space of opinions leading to homogeneous groups, whereas the...

This paper analyzes the root cause of Ellsberg-type choices. This class of problems share the feature that at the time of the decision, t = m, the decision maker (DM) possesses partial information, Im, about the events/propositions of interest F: DM knows the objective probabilities of the...

Ellsberg-type preferences violate one of the principles for Bayesian rationality, namely Savageís Sure Thing Principle, and are among the main empirical results against Subjective Expected Utility theory. In this paper, we propose a novel strategy for dealing with ambiguity aversion and the...

This paper focuses on different types of ambiguity that affect climate change regulation. In particular, we analyze the effect of the interactions among three types of agents, namely, the decision maker (DM), the experts and the society, on the probabilistic properties of green-house gas (GHG)...

This paper develops a dynamic general equilibrium (DGE) model to assess the impact of AI-driven automation on labor and capital allocation in an economy. The model considers the endogenous response of firms to task automation and labor substitution, showing how the increasing use of AI affects...

In this paper we investigate whether the empirical regularities of stock returns are independent of each other or whether any one of them implies all the others. If such a regularity exists, it is called 'fundamental' and is usually thought of as a 'deductive explanation' of the others. We...

This manual provides a comprehensive overview of Vector Autoregression (VAR) models using EViews. It covers key concepts, practical applications, and step-by-step guidance on implementing VAR modeling. The aim is to equip researchers and practitioners with the tools necessary to analyze time...

In this paper a Methodology for Integrated Socio-Economic Assessment (MISEA) of the viability and sustainability of different designs of Multi-Use Offshore Platforms (MUOPs) is presented. MUOPs are designed for multi-use of ocean space for energy extraction (wind power production and wave...

This paper deals with properties of three indirect estimators that are known to be (first order) asymptotically equivalent. Specifically, we examine a) the issue of validity of the formal Edgeworth expansion of an arbitrary order. b) Given a), we are concerned with valid moment approximations...
