Shackle was one of the representative critics of probability calculus. His alternative decision theory was mathematically reformalized by Katzner till 1990s. Following the Katzner's reformalized framework, this paper presents a new interpretation of Shacklean theory by focusing on the common...

Social and natural sciences employ a number of different measures of diversity. The presents paper surveys those depending on the distribution of abundances among a given set of categories. Characteristic properties of the measures are generalized and a unifying notation is derived. It is argued...

In this note I show that Tsallis entropy (Tsallis, 1988) is not unique in the class of non-additive, selfweighted and quasilinear means. A characterization is given which disproves a result in Dukkipati et al. (2005a,b) and Dukkipati et al. (2006).

In 2005, Germany’s national income accounting system was altered from fixed prices to previous year’s prices as basis for macroeconomic time series measured in real terms. Among other consequences, the new system offers a wider range of possibilities to interpret theoretically relevant...

Das System der Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnungen (VGR) in Deutschland wurde im Frühjahr 2005 von der Festpreisbasis auf das Vorjahrespreiskonzept (Kettenindexkonzept) umgestellt. Dadurch werden Substitutionseffekte besser berücksichtigt und die periodische Umbasierung der Zeitreihen...
