Robust Belief States and the Right/Wrong Dichotomy

Belief States and Narrow Content

belief function and the transferable belief model

Beliefs are the result of uncertainty. Sometimes uncertainty is because of a random process and sometimes the result of lack of information. In the past, the only solution in situations of uncertainty has been the probability theory. But the past few decades, various theories of other variables and systems are put forward for the systems with no adequate and accurate information. One of these a...

On the Revision of Probabilistic Belief States

In this paper we describe two approaches to the revision of probability functions. We assume that a probabilistic state of belief is captured by a counterfactual probability or Popper function, the revision of which determines a new Popper function. We describe methods whereby the original function determines the nature of the revised function. The rst is based on a probabilistic extension of S...

States, Reforms and Institutional Change: on the Dynamics of Failure Weak States and Strong States: a Useful Dichotomy?

The results expected from economic policy reform in developing and transition economies-sustained economic growth, poverty reduction and widespread prosperity, democracy and social empowerment-have frequently proved, in practice, to be disturbingly elusive. A handful of countries have restructured their economies and have done so relatively smoothly. Many more have become embroiled in political...
