This paper provides a unified framework for interpreting a wide range of interactions models which have appeared in the economics literature. A formalization taken from the statistical mechanics literature is shown to encompass a number of socioeconomic phenomena ranging from out of wedlock...

We study how changes to the informativeness of signals in Bayesian games and single-agent decision problems affect the distribution of equilibrium actions. A more precise private signal about an unknown state of the world leads to an mean-preserving spread of an agent's beliefs. Focusing on...

Variable selection methods and model selection approaches are valuable statistical tools, which are indispensable for almost any statistical modeling question. This review considers first the use of information criteria for model selection. Such criteria provide an ordering of the considered...

"The main objective of this book is to analyze renewable energy sources using current mathematical methods and techniques, giving an introduction of trends and current mathematical methods to the masses and providing advanced knowledge on renewable energy sources for both academic and practical...
