Risk and Return Considerations in "The Weakest Link"
The television game show, The Weakest Link, involves contestants making a sequence of decisions over time. Given the rules of the game and the process for accrual of payoffs over time, a number of authors have recognized that this show serves as a laboratory for assessment of human decision-making. To this end, by comparing theoretically derived gaming strategies with those actually used by the...
متن کاملWho's The Weakest Link?
In this paper we consider the following problem: Given a network G, determine if there is an edge in G through which at least c shortest paths pass. This problem arises naturally in various practical situations where there is a massive network (telephone, internet), and routing of data is done via shortest paths and one wants to identify most congested edges in the network. This problem can be ...
متن کاملThe weakest link
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a protein scaffold that is assembled by cells into a precise configuration and constantly remodeled. It not only provides structural support for cells and tissues, but also provides positional cues for cell adhesion and migration and serves as a reservoir for growth factors. Consequently, organ development and homeostasis critically depend on cell–ECM interacti...
متن کاملThe Weakest Link: Risk Management Strategies for Dealing with Interdependencies
Networks increase interdependencies and this creates challenges for managing risks. This is especially apparent in areas such as security and enterprise risk management, where the actions of a single player in an interconnected network can wreak havoc on everyone in the network. The network, in this case, is only as strong as its weakest link. There are related problems in encouraging investmen...
