Restricted mean models for transplant benefit and urgency.
The US lung allocation policy estimates each individual's urgency and transplant benefit in defining a lung allocation score (LAS). Transplant benefit, as defined by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Thoracic Committee, is the days of life gained over the following year if transplanted versus not transplanted. Urgency is measured by days of life during the next year without tran...
متن کاملHorizon-Unbiased Utility Functions
In this paper we consider a class of mixed optimal control/optimal stopping problems related to the choice of the best time to sell a single unit of an indivisible asset. We assume that in addition to the indivisible asset the agent has access to a financial market. Investments in the financial market can be used for hedging, but the financial assets are only partially correlated with the indiv...
متن کاملType A behaviour and time urgency: perception of time adjectives.
Relations between time perception and Type A behaviour were investigated. Extreme Type A (n = 26) and B (n = 28) male college undergraduates rated the appropriateness of 158 adjectives as descriptors of time. Adjectives were independently rated using seven-point Likert 'speed' and 'energy' scales. Analyses showed that Type As rate adjectives low in speed and energy as less descriptive of time t...

Infinite horizon allocation with consumption-dependent utility
We consider an economy in which there is an infinite stream of pies, each of size one, one in every period. For each agent, the per-period utility function, which is defined on that period’s consumption, is determined by the previous period’s consumption. We describe specifications of this model for which no symmetric, efficient, and monotonic way to allocate pies exists.
