The investment horizon problem: A resolution

Aase, Knut K. - Institutt for foretaksøkonomi, Norges Handelshøyskole … - 2009

In the canonical model of investments, the optimal fractions in the risky assets do not depend on the time horizon. This is against empirical evidence, and against the typical recommendations of portfolio managers. We demonstrate that if the intertemporal coefficient of relative risk aversion is...

Habitat assessment by parasitoids: consequences for population distribution

Fauvergue, Xavier; Boll, Roger; Rochat, Jacques; … - In: Behavioral Ecology 17 (2006) 4, pp. 522-531

The ideal free distribution (IFD) is a stable distribution of competitors among resource patches. For equally efficient competitors, equilibrium is reached when the per capita rate of intake equalizes across patches. The seminal version of the IFD assumes omniscience, but populations may still...

Spatial organization in a dimorphic ant: caste specificity of clustering patterns and area marking

Sempo, Grégory; Depickère, Stéphanie; Detrain, Claire - In: Behavioral Ecology 17 (2006) 4, pp. 642-650

Living in groups constitutes the root of social organization in animals. Likewise, the spatial aggregation between …. In the present paper, we show caste-specific aggregation patterns in the strictly dimorphic Pheidole pallidula ant … indirect cues through chemical marking. In a homogeneous environment deprived of chemical cues, majors show a higher …

Social wasps desert the colony and aggregate outside if parasitized: parasite manipulation?

Hughes, David P.; Kathirithamby, Jeyaraney; Turillazzi, … - In: Behavioral Ecology 15 (2004) 6, pp. 1037-1043

Infection of the paper wasp, Polistes dominulus (Christ), by the strepsipteran parasite Xenos vesparum Rossi results in a dramatic behavioral change, which culminates in colony desertion and the formation of extranidal aggregations, in which up to 98% of occupants are parasitized females....

Nonlinear Error-Correction Models for Interest Rates in The Netherlands

Dijk, D.J.C. van; Franses, Ph.H.B.F. - Erasmus University Rotterdam, Econometric Institute - 1997

In this paper we investigate empirical specification of smooth transition error correction models (STECMs). These models can be used to describe linear long-run relationships between nonstationary variables where adjustment towards equilibrium is nonlinear and can depend on exogenous variables....

Investigating distance effects on environmental values: A choice modelling approach

Concu, Giovanni B. - Risk and Sustainable Management Group (RSMG), School of … - 2005

This paper describes a Choice Modelling experiment set up to investigate the relationship between distance and willingness to pay for environmental quality changes. The issue is important for the estimation and transfer of benefits. So far the problem has been analysed through the use of...
