We provide a simple identity that decomposes a product moment of multivariate normal random variables as a sum of various products of univariate moments of one of the random variables and multivariate moments of the other random variables. The new identity allows for much faster computation of...

In this inaugural report, we provide an update on the first nine months of CERCA’s activities. To raise awareness about CERCA’s vision, we outline theoretical frameworks and background research related to race modifiers in clinical algorithms, analytic approaches for prospective assessment...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) increasingly becomes an indispensable advisor. New ethical concerns arise if AI persuades people to behave dishonestly. In an experiment, we study how AI advice (generated by a Natural-Language-processing algorithm) affects (dis)honesty, compare it to equivalent...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key component in the field of antitrust, as it is utilized to analyze vast quantities of data with the aim of detecting indications of unjust business practices. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of the issue of algorithmic biases in computational...

The Holt and Laury (2002) task is arguably the most widely employed method for eliciting individual risk attitudes in economics. However, although around 15% of standard experimental subjects fail to complete the task consistently, this fraction increases to an alarming 60-70% in the case of...

We consider linked top-down and bottom-up models in which the top-down model is a mixed-complementarity program describing a macroeconomic system, while the bottom-up model is a linear program describing the energy system. We introduce a coordination algorithm that speeds up convergence for the...

We study the matching mechanism in a two-stage game that mixes two well-known matching mechanisms, Boston Mechanism(BM) and the Deferred Acceptance algorithm(DA). First, we show that if all organizations have the same preferences for agents they accept, the subgame perfect equilibrium outcome of...

This article maps and verifies the dependence relation between risks faced by startup investors. Thus, a systematic review of 33 articles and a meta-analysis using the Apriori algorithm were used. We mapped 14 investment risks faced by startup investors, classifying them into four dimensions:...
