چکیده
'The economic statistics that the government issues every week should come with a warning sticker: User beware. In the midst of the greatest information explosion in history, the government is pumping out a stream of statistics that are nothing but myths and misinformation.' Michael J.

Investigating the Role of real Money Balances in Households' Preferences function in the Framework of the Assets Pricing Models (M-CCAPM): Case study of Iran
In this paper, we try to develop and modify the basic model of the consumption-based capital asset pricing model by adding the growth in real money balances rate as a risk factor in the household's utility function as (M-CCAPM). For this purpose, two forms of utility function with constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) preferences and recursive preferences have been used such that M1 and M2 are...
متن کاملMODELING RISK OF LOSING A CUSTOMER IN A TWO-ECHELON SUPPLY CHAIN FACING AN INTEGRATED COMPETITOR: A GAME THEORY APPROACH
In a competitive market, customer decision is made to maximize his utility. It can be assumed that risk of losing a supply chain’s customer can be defined based on products utility from customer point of view. This paper takes account of product price and service level as competition criteria. The proposed model is based on non-cooperative game theory, for one-manufacturer and one-retailer supp...
متن کاملApproximately Optimal Risk-Averse Routing Policies via Adaptive Discretization
Mitigating risk in decision-making has been a longstanding problem. Due to the mathematical challenge of its nonlinear nature, especially in adaptive decisionmaking problems, finding optimal policies is typically intractable. With a focus on efficient algorithms, we ask how well we can approximate the optimal policies for the difficult case of general utility models of risk. Little is known abo...

Architectural design of the utility management automation (UMA) systems for their IT-enabling requires proper selection of ...
متن کاملUtility representations of risk neutral preferences in multiple dimensions∗
I show that in a multidimensional spatial model, if an agent is risk neutral on each side of the policy space away from her ideal point, then her utility function is linearly decreasing in the city block distance to the ideal policy of the agent.
