Abstract Conditional risk and acceptability mappings quantify the desirability of random variables (e.g. financial returns) by accounting for available information. In this paper the focus lies on acceptability mappings, concave translation-equivariant monotone mappings L p (Ω, F ,ℙ) →  L...

Multi-period risk functionals assign a risk value to discrete-time stochastic processes. While convexity and monotonicity extend in straightforward manner from the single-period case, the role of information is more problematic in the multi-period situation. In this paper, we define multi-period...

In the present paper we demonstrate a mid-term planning model for thermal power generation which is based on multistage stochastic optimization and involves stochastic electricity spot prices, mixture of fuels with stochastic prices, the effect of CO2 emission prices and various types of further...

In this paper, we study mechanisms of poverty traps that can occur after large disaster shocks. Our starting point is a stylized deterministic dynamic model with locally increasing returns to scale possibly generating multiple equilibria paths with finite upper equilibrium. The deterministic...

By an adaptation of a method originally invented by G. Kersting [1] for the calculation of the limiting distribution of Markovian processes the central limit theorem (CLT) is proven. Only the case of equal variances is considered.
