The option pricing problem is one of central contents in modern finance. In this paper, European option pricing formula is formulated for fuzzy financial market and some mathematical properties of them are discussed. This formula may be regarded as the fuzzy counterpart of Black-Scholes option pricing formula. In addition, some illustrative examples are also documented with MATLAB codes. c ©200...

To assess whether, independent of a direct financial impact, a more positive patient experience is associated with increased profitability.  A positive patient experience is associated with increased profitability, and a negative patient experience is e...

Why do capital taxes still exist in an integrated world economy? When capital is perfectly mobile across countries and labour is fixed, a source-based tax on capital both reduces and redistributes world income. In a simple general equilibrium model we show that under plausible circumstances there always exists a country that benefits from introducing such a tax. Countries that are richer in ter...

An approach to understanding the nature of markets is modelled using methods of modern nonlinear nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. This permits examination of the premise that markets can be described by nonlinear nonequilibrium Markovian distributions. Corrections to previous nonlinear continuous time models are explicitly presented. A quite general microscopic model is presented of indivi...
