abstract climate change means a significant change in the long-term weather of a region in comparison with what has been observed during a long term period. precipitation and minimum and maximum temperature are three variables which are affected directly by the climate change. furthermore, the water yield of a river is one of the most important hydrological variables of a basin which is affecte...

In a mean-variance world, a less risk averse agent accepts additional variance in exchange for higher expected return. This is not true in all complete markets, but we show that a similar result holds with risk and return defined as in stochastic dominance. Specifically, an agent is less risk averse than another if and only if the agent chooses a payoff that is distributed as the other’s payoff...

We investigate the impact of financial crises on two fundamental features of stock returns, namely, the risk-return tradeoff and the leverage effect. We apply the fractionally integrated exponential GARCH-in-mean (FIEGARCH-M) model for daily stock return data, which includes both features and allows the co-existence of long memory in volatility and short memory in returns. We extend this model ...

When responding to a suddenly appearing stimulus, we are slower and/or less accurate when the stimulus occurs at the same location of a previous event than when it appears in a new location. This phenomenon, often referred to as inhibition of return (IOR), has fostered a huge amount of research in the last 20 years. In this selective review, which introduces a Special Issue of Cognitive Neurops...

The purpose of this study, is create a challenge and discussion concerning the existence of information about the Bitcoin price and return, which suggests the relationship of information and the strong performance it. The information trends are available at different time periods and the summary data related to the statistical descriptions for the price and return index are also discussed. In t...

Objective guidelines permitting safe return to sport following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are infrequently used. The purpose of this study was to determine the published return to sport guidelines following ACL reconstruction in Level I randomized controlled trials. A systematic review was performed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (P...

Stochastic dominance is theoretically superior to mean-variance (MV) analysis because it considers the entire return distribution and is based on minimally restrictive assumptions regarding investor motives. This study uses stochastic dominance to examine whether adding internationally based assets to a wholly domestic portfolio generates diversification benefits for an investor. In contrast to...
