In this case, (IC1) is binding and the objective function is given by E[L]−2p l (1−p l )R 1 +(1−p 2 l )[ c (p h p l −p 2 … constraint. I now assume that (IC2) is binding and substitute (A1) in the objective function to obtain E[L]−2p l (1−p l )R 1 +(1 …

Managerial Overconfidence and Corporate Policies

Ben-David, Itzhak - 2008

Using a unique 10-year panel that includes more than 13,300 expected stock market return probability distributions, we find that executives are severely miscalibrated, producing distributions that are too narrow: realized market returns are within the executives' 80% confidence intervals only...

Multi-product Firms and Product Turnover in the Developing World : Evidence from India

Goldberg, Pinelopi K. - 2008

Recent theoretical work predicts that an important margin of adjustment to deregulation or trade reforms is the reallocation of output within firms through changes in their product mix. Empirical work has accordingly shifted its focus towards multi-product firms and their product mix decisions....

Non-cooperative games with minmax objectives

Facchinei, Francisco; Pang, Jong-Shi; Scutari, Gesualdo - In: Computational Optimization and Applications 59 (2014) 1, pp. 85-112

We consider noncooperative games where each player minimizes the sum of a smooth function, which depends on the player, and of a possibly nonsmooth function that is the same for all players. For this class of games we consider two approaches: one based on an augmented game that is applicable...
