This paper incorporates publication uncertainty in a game between researchers and journal editors and examines its effects on quantity and quality of published research. A stylized differential Stackelberg game between journal editors and academic authors is considered, where authors seek to...

Recently there has been renewed debate about the relative merits of VaR and CVaR as measures of financial risk. VaR is not coherent and does not quantify the risk beyond VaR, while CVaR shows some computational instabilities and is not 'elicitable' (Gneiting 2010, Ziegel 2013). It is argued in...

Humans play important roles in the process of quantifying uncertainty. The participation of humans in this important exercise opens the process to behavioral biases. In this paper, we examine the different types of biases that may occur when quantifying uncertainty using a process-oriented...

If we reassess the rationality question under the assumption that the uncertainty of the natural world is largely unquantifiable, where do we end up? In this article the author argues that we arrive at a statistical, normative, and cognitive theory of ecological rationality. The main casualty of...

This paper provides researchers with an objective list of checks to consider when planning a replication study with the objective of validating findings for informing policy. These replication studies should begin with a pure replication of the published results and then reanalyse the original...

Classical interval estimation ignores misspecification uncertainty that is almost inevitable in practice. This paper proposes an approach to construct an uncertainty interval that incorporates misspecification based on an $f$-divergence. We construct the uncertainty interval estimators using...
