Allais Meets Strotz: Remarks on the Relation between Present Bias and the Certainty Effect
The paper establishes a tight relation between non-standard behaviors in the domains of risk and time by considering a decision maker with non-expected utility preferences who believes that only present consumption is certain while any future consumption is uncertain. We provide the rst complete characterization of the two-way relations between i) certainty e ect and present bias, and, ii) comm...
متن کاملWhen a common problem meets an ingenious mind.
When the marvels of modern biological research are presented in the media, one image almost always appears: a person in a laboratory using a micropipette. This small but ubiquitous device has evolved into one of the icons of modern biotechnology, molecular biology, gene therapy, stem-cell technology and cloning. The modern micropipette has achieved such high visibility for obvious reasons: it i...
متن کاملWhen taxonomy meets genomics: lessons from a common songbird.
Taxonomy is being increasingly informed by genomics. Traditionally, taxonomy has relied extensively on phenotypic traits for the identification and delimitation of species, though with a growing influence from molecular phylogenetics in recent decades. Now, genomics opens up new and more powerful tools for analysing the evolutionary history and relatedness among species, as well as understandin...
متن کاملIndeterminacy in dynamic models: When Diamond meets Ramsey
In this paper, we consider an aggregate overlapping generations model with endogenous labor, consumption in both periods of life, homothetic preferences and productive external effects coming from the average capital and labor. We show that under realistic calibrations of the parameters, in particular a large enough share of first period consumption over the wage income, local indeterminacy of ...
متن کاملAxioms for Dynamic Programming
This paper describes an abstract framework, called valuation network (VN), for representing and solving discrete optimization problems. In VNs, we represent information in an optimization problem using functions called valuations. Valuations represent factors of an objective function. Solving a VN involves using two operators called combination and marginalization. The combination operator tell...
