Color discriminability makes over-specification efficient: Theoretical analysis and empirical evidence

Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of Economic Resilience Index

Resilience is defined in different ways by different disciplines and different authors but in general resilience may be defined as the ability of a system and its component parts to anticipate, absorb, accommodate, or recover from the effects of a hazardous event in a timely and efficient manner. Resilience is applicable at the micro as macro level, and for this reason, is sometimes defined as ...

Empirical and theoretical evidence of economic chaos

Empirical and theoretical investigations of chaotic phenomena in macroeconomic systems are presented. Basic issues and techniques in testing economic aggregate movements are discussed. Evidence of low dimensional strange attractors is found in several empirical monetary aggregates. A continuous time deterministic model with delayed feedback is proposed to describe the monetary growth. Phase tra...

Effects of language on color discriminability

Different languages divide the color spectrum in different ways. Can such linguistic codes affect color discrimination? Results of three experiments suggest that color language can influence people’s color judgments even in conditions when all color stimuli are present at the same time and need not be stored in memory. Two experiments showed that colordiscrimination performance within a languag...

Theoretical vs. empirical discriminability: the application of ROC methods to eyewitness identification

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was introduced to the field of eyewitness identification 5 years ago. Since that time, it has been both influential and controversial, and the debate has raised an issue about measuring discriminability that is rarely considered. The issue concerns the distinction between empirical discriminability (measured by area under the ROC curve) vs. under...
