Sowohl die kausale (Causation) als auch die effektuative Entscheidungslogik (Effectuation) werden von Entrepreneuren in verschiedenen Entscheidungssituationen angewandt. Instrumente zur Erfassung, Analyse und Bewertung von kausalem bzw. effektuativem Entscheidungsverhalten sind jedoch unterrepräsentiert. Obgleich bereits agentenbasierte Simulationsansätze zur Erforschung von Causation und Effec...

Levin and Rappaport (1995, henceforth L&R) argue that the distribution of the English causative alternation is predicted by the internal/external causation distinction. For L&R this distinction is represented in lexical conceptual structure. In this paper I argue that representing this distinction in the syntax, rather than in the lexicon, allows a crosslinguistically more satisfying theory of ...

We focus on the coupling of two existing and calibrated single currency Libor models into a joint Libor model that allows for pricing of multiple currency based structured interest rate products. Our main contribution is twofold: On the one hand we provide a method for synthesizing two local currency based correlation structures into a correctly defined joint correlation structure that describe...

Weighted Rank Correlation indices are useful for measuring the agreement of two rankings when the top ranks are considered more important than the lower ones. This paper investigates, from a descriptive perspective, the behaviour of i) five existing indices that introduce suitable weights in the simplified formula of the Spearman’s ρ and ii) an additional five indices we derive using the same w...

It is widely acknowledged that causation entails more than spatial-temporal contiguity or correlation, but efforts to specify that extra component of experience have been elusive. In this paper, we argue that the representation of causal relations is based on the feeling of force as understood through the sense of touch. Grounding causation in people’s sense of touch allows us to address long-s...
