Idealizations of uncertainty, and lessons from artificial intelligence

Smith, Robert Elliott - 2015

Making decisions under uncertainty is at the core of human decision-making, particularly economic decision-making. In economics, a distinction is often made between quantifiable uncertainty (risk) and un-quantifiable uncertainty (Knight, Uncertainty and Profit, 1921). However, this distinction...

Decidability in complex social choices

Amendola, Gennaro; Marengo, Luigi; Pirino, Davide; … - 2013

In this paper we develop on a geometric model of social choice among bundles of interdependent elements (objects). Social choice can be seen as a process of search for optima in a complex multi-dimensional space and objects determine a decomposition of such a space into subspaces. We present a...

Structuring Tchebycheff-Type Inequalities – A Systematical Approach / Systematisierung tschebyscheffartiger Ungleichungen – Ein Überblick

Strotmann, Harald - In: Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik 219 (1999) 3-4, pp. 468-493

Summary Though there is a huge variety of different Tchebycheff-type inequalities in the literature a systematised structuring is missing. The few existing surveys remain rather enumerative. Therefore in this paper a structuring of Tchebycheff-type inequalities is suggested which is based on...
