We demonstrate how the standard usage of the random incentive system in ambiguity experiments is not incentive compatible if the decision maker is ambiguity averse. We propose a slight modification of the procedure in which the randomization takes place before decisions are made and the state is...

For heterogeneous Weibull samples with a common shape parameter and weakly majorized scale parameters, we study the likelihood ratio order and the stochastic order between minimums of independent and dependent samples, respectively. Also, an application in fabric strength is presented.

In order to provide a reference for rocky desertification control in karst areas, we take the case of Hongfeng Lake Rocky Desertification Comprehensive Control Demonstration Area in Qingzhen City of Guizhou Province, and expound strength, weakness, opportunity and challenge in its ecological...

This paper studies the effect of learning new information on decision under uncertainty.Using ambiguity models, we show the effect of learning on beliefs and ambiguity attitudes. We develop a new method to correct beliefs for ambiguity attitudes and decompose ambiguity attitudes into pessimism...

A central question in many debates on paternalism is whether a decision analyst can ever go against the stated preference of a client, even if merely intending to improve the decisions for the client. Using four gedanken-experiments, this paper shows that this central question, so cleverly and...

The evaluation of change in ecosystem service value arising from land consolidation planning is an important aspect of environmental impact assessment of land consolidation. By estimating the change in ecosystem service value before and after the implementation of land consolidation planning, it...

To investigate the characteristics of service value of the karst rocky desertification ecosystem, we take water conservation, soil conservation, carbon-fixation and oxygen-production, production of organic matter, and purification of atmospheric environment as function indicators, to conduct...

Based on the understanding of current land ecological environment in Anhui Province, we mainly analyze the relationship between land consolidation planning and ecological environment, and point out the problems concerning ecological environment, such as great soil erosion, serious soil...

We conduct a comprehensive analysis of the current situation of security system for implementation of China's land consolidation planning. The prominent problems in the process of implementing safeguard measures for planning are summarized as follows: the guiding ideology for planning...
