This paper provides a ranking of 69 marketing journals using a new Hirsch-type index, the hg-indexwhich is the geometric mean of hg. The applicability of this index is tested on data retrieved from Google Scholar on marketing journal articles published between 2003 and 2007. The authors investigate the relationship between the hg-ranking, ranking implied by Thomson Reuters’ Journal Impact Facto...

The optimal spectral profiles of lighting for naturalness, individual preference, and chromatic diversity were estimated with psychophysical experiments in which observers selected illuminants from a set of metamers of D65 to render outdoor and indoor scenes. For naturalness, the illuminant selected was more spectrally structured than daylight and had a low color rendering index. For preference...

We show, in the Choquet expected utility model, that preference for diversi cation, that is, convex preferences, is equivalent to a concave utility index and a convex capacity. We then introduce a weaker notion of diversi cation, namely \sure diversication." We show that this implies that the core of the capacity is non-empty. The converse holds under concavity of the utility index. This proper...

This paper proposes a geometric delineation of distributional preference types and a non-parametric approach for their identification in a two-person context. It starts with a small set of assumptions on preferences and shows that this set (i) naturally results in a taxonomy of distributional archetypes that nests all empirically relevant types considered in previous work in economics and socia...
