Evidence for Opportunity Cost Neglect in the Poor
People often neglect opportunity costs: They do not fully take into account forgone alternatives outside of a particular choice set. Several scholars have suggested that poor people should be more likely to spontaneously consider opportunity costs, because budget constraints should lead to an increased focus on trade-offs. We did not find support for this hypothesis in five high-powered experim...
متن کاملCooperative vehicle routing problem: an opportunity for cost saving
In this paper, a novel methodology is proposed to solve a cooperative multi-depot vehicle routing problem. We establish a mathematical model for multi-owner VRP in which each owner (i.e. player) manages single or multiple depots. The basic idea consists of offering an option that owners cooperatively manage the VRP to save their costs. We present cooperative game theory techniques for cost savi...

15 صفحه اولZika: the cost of neglect
The Zika virus is vectored by mosquito species of the genus Aedes, particularly the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti and, very likely, the Asian tiger mosquito, Ae. albopictus. These species also vector a host of other viral diseases including dengue and chikungunya all of which are “neglected tropical diseases” (NTDs) because of the lack of attention given to them. NTDs are diseases of pov...
متن کاملOn Opportunity Cost Bounds for the Knowledge
We prove an upper bound on the cumulative opportunity cost of the online knowledge gradient algorithm. We leverage the theory of martingales to yield a bound under the Gaussian assumption. Using results from information theory we are further able to provide asymptotic bounds on the cumulative opportunity cost with high probability. 1. Supporting Material. Throughout this paper we will be using ...
