This volume includes a selection of refereed papers presented at the GAMM/IFIP-Workshop on "Stochastic Optimization: Numerical Methods and Technical Applications", held at the Federal Armed Forces University Munich,May 29 - 31, 1990. The objective of this meeting was to bring together scientists...

This book studies two distinct approaches to distributive justice. The firstoriginates from axiomatic social choice theory and studies positionalist aggregation functions. Profiles of individual extended orderings over alternative social states are mapped into a social ordering of these states....

This voluume contains actual contributions to the current research directions in Optimizatiton Theory as well as applications to economic problems and to problems in industrial engineering. Of particular interest are: convex- and Nonsmooth Analysis, Sensitivity Theory, Optimization techniques...

This monograph deals with the so-called Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) approach, the most recent development of vector autoregressive econometric modeling. Three different types of models, which encompass all the models used so far in the SVAR applied literature, are analysed using a...

This book deals with the notices of structural dependence and independence, which are used in many applications of mathematics to science. For instance,a physical law states that one physical aspect is structurally dependent on one or more other aspects. Structural dependence is closely related...

Using panel data of individual firms drawn from French surveys, a structural analysis is developed to study the formation of production plans and the rationality of expectations. The production decision of a firm is defined as the optimal solution of a dynamic stochastic optimization problem....
