The objects of study of the humanities and social sciences are intrinsically complex. Because it is philosophically attractive, and because it helps in practice to manage such complexity, one of the most influential central ideas throughout the history and present of these disciplines is the...

Can consumption-based mechanisms generate positive and time-varying real term premia as we see in the data? I show that only models with time-varying risk aversion or models with high consumption risk can independently produce these patterns. The latter explanation has not been analysed before...

In machine learning and data science literature, clustering is the task of dividing the observations (data points) into several categories in such a way that data points falling into one group are being dissimilar than the data points falling to the other groups such that the variation within a...

The aim of this presentation is to develop a composite indicator, which should be consistent and reliable, to evaluate the physiological conditions of a group of patients on dialysis therapy. The composite indicators are developed based on key performance indicators. They have the advantage of...

The assessment of tourism potential allows delimiting the attractiveness of tourism destinations, constituting the basis for the design of tourism products and experiences. To date, several studies have been conducted to measure destination attractiveness from a synthetic approach. However,...

Most papers which study the world trade network use indicators that suffer from an absence of economic content. Understanding this problem, we propose an alternative methodology to describe the international trade using a network perspective, but recovering the economic interpretation. The...

The existing literature documents that computer simulations can reveal how characteristics of micro-level individuals give rise to macro-level phenomena of systemic wholes. This paper seeks to establish such an important simulation-based observation as a theoretical result on a sound foundation....

The classical cobweb theorem is extended to include production lags and price forecasts. Price forecasting based on a longer period has a stabilizing effect on prices. Longer production lags do not necessarily lead to unstable prices; very long lags lead to cycles of constant amplitude. The...
