The aim of this paper is to introduce Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) as an efficient technique allowing to modify the utility level of an economic agent following the consumption of environmental goods. In the absence of market for natural assets, the CVM allows us to create a hypothetical...

I study uniqueness and global attracting property of the recursive utility under uncertainty related to Epstein and Zin equations. The equation is specifed by a temporal aggregator which satisfies different conditions then Marinacci and Montrucchio, Le Van and Vailakis and Jaskiewicz, Matkowski...

This paper argues that since the utility function representation of the individual is derived from standard rationality theory, the view that rationality is bounded implies that individuality should be seen to be bounded as well. The meaning of this idea is developed in terms of two ways in...

A major virtue of von Neumann-Morgenstern utility, for example, in the theory of general financial equilibrium (GFE), is that it ensures time consistency: consumption-portfolio plans (for the future) are in fact executed (in the future) - assuming that there is perfect foresight about relevant...

Although both betweenness and closeness centrality are claimed to be important for the effectiveness of someone's network position, it has not been explicitly studied which networks emerge if actors follow incentives for these two positional advantages. We propose such a model and observe that...

Can conventional economic analysis help in defining and measuring the success of labor unions? In this paper, a general indicator of union welfare is proposed and particular expressions for the wage and employment objectives of unions are rearranged to derive measures of union success or...
