Three solution concepts for cooperative games with random payoffs are introduced. These are the marginal value, the dividend value and the selector value. Inspiration for their definitions comes from several equivalent formulations of the Shapley value for cooperative TU games. An example shows...

We study empirically daily French and German interest rate changes since the Basle-Nyborg agreement of September 1987. In particular, we ask whether the shock associated with German unification altered the degree of leadership of German monetary policy in the ERM. We conclude that Germany’s...

This empirical analysis of multiple durations using multivariate mixed proportional hazard rate models is widespread. In such models, the duration variable are dependent if their unobserved determinants are dependent on each other. In this paper it is shown that these models restrict the...

A procedure, based on the distribution of the largest streamflowdrought deficit and on the composite hydrograph recession curve, is proposed for the derivation of the n-year streamflow drought,for the cases for which the assumption of identical deficit and duration frequencies is not valid, for...
