Uncertainty of environmental conditions is typical for most biological and agricultural systems. This uncertainty has recently become a serious challenge because of global climate changes. Due to delayed response to unpredictable environmental changes, the functioning of these systems is not...

John von Neumann (Budapest, 1903-Washington D.C., 1957) was an exceptional polymath, who made fundamental contributions to mathematical logics, functional analysis, quantum mechanics, game theory, computer architecture and automata theory. In this brief paper, I shall review the game-theoretic...

When applying to a university, students and their parents devote considerable time acquiring information about university programs in order to form preferences. We explore ways to reduce wasteful information acquisition, that is, to help students avoid acquiring information about out-of-reach...

The Bailiwick of Jersey ("Jersey") and the UK face similar challenges when attributing criminal liability to corporate entities. Both jurisdictions have sought to meet some of these challenges by the introduction of deferred prosecution agreements ("DPAs") and failure to prevent ("FTP")...

If there exist no incentive or selective mechanisms that make cooperation in large groups incentive-compatible under realistic circumstances, functional social institutions will require subjective preferences to diverge from objective payoffs – a "noble lie." This implies the existence of...

The literature shows that integrating tourism management with place governance practices is conducive to harmony and development in urban areas. However, protected areas face peculiar governance and management challenges. This article offers an in-depth study of the governance of the...
