In some real-life intertemporal decision problems, which include a country's central-bank interest-rate determination problem, optimisation might be an unsuitable solution procedure in that it suggests a unique ``optimal'' solution for problems where many solutions could be "satisficing". This...

A portfolio management problem is approximated through a Markov decision chain. The weak Euler scheme is applied to discretise the time evolution of a portfolio and an inverse distance method is used to describe the transition probabilities. The approximating Markov decision problem is solved by...

Our interest is in the relationship between the environment and economic growth. Because various interest groups see this issue differently, the typical optimization approach based on representative agent is not suitable. This is mainly because assessing the relative weight between consumption...

This paper deals with a class of equilibria which are based on the use of memory strategies in the context of continuous-time stochastic differential games. In order to get interpretable results, we will focus the study on a stochastic differential game model of the exploitation of one species...
