In a world dominated by uncertainty, modeling and understanding the optimal behavior of agents is of the utmost importance. Many problems in economics, finance, and actuarial science naturally require decision makers to undertake choices in stochastic environments. Examples include optimal...

This book is devoted to the application of fractional calculus in economics to describe processes with memory and non-locality. Fractional calculus is a branch of mathematics that studies the properties of differential and integral operators that are characterized by real or complex orders....

Pluralism in economics appears to be a double-edged sword: we need more than one theory to grasp and explain the entire economic world, yet a plurality of possible explanations undermines the aspiration of the economic discipline to provide 'objective knowledge' in the singular of the 'one world...

Solving economic models with heterogenous agents requires computing aggregate dynamics consistent with individual behaviors. This paper introduces the ?nite volume method from the mathe-matics literature to enlarge the set of numerical methods available to compute dynamics in continuous time....

The valuation of firms is one of the topics that valuation theorists and practitioners have addressed since the early stages of economic sciences. Firm valuations are regularly conducted using discounted cash flow (DCF) models in which expected future cash flows are discounted at...

The adoption of a performative approach promises to enrich research enquiries pursued in the business model field. Such an approach has demonstrated its purchase in other business and management disciplines, including accounting, and has contributed to the wider exploration of social science...

This paper is about the classic methods used in the analysis of economics. More precisely, the R.B.Q. (Rational, Behavioral, and Quantified) model is about rational economics and behavioral economic analysis in conjunction with the quantification procedure (Q.E. method). Therefore, in this work...

Recent large-scale replications of social science experiments provide important information on the reliability of experimental research. Unfortunately, there exist no mechanisms to ensure replications are done. We propose such a mechanism: journal-based replication, in which the publishing...

A popular view of models among economists and philosophers alike is that all models are false, but some are useful. Models are frequently treated as convenient fictions, idealizations, stories about credible worlds, or "near enough" to the truth. But such a understandings pose serious questions,...

"Neuroeconomics has emerged as a paradigmatic field where neuroscience and the social sciences are integrated in one analytical and empirical approach. However, the different disciplines involved often only relate to each other via the shared object of research, and less through the constructing...

"Organizational diversity has become a topic of interest for practitioners and academics alike. This book explores how diversity in organizations is, and can be researched, providing readers with insights into the potential research designs for studies in contemporary organizations. This...

"This book analyses different perspectives around sustainable development, risk management, and managing demand across various industry sectors in India. Diverse theories and analytical methods from various disciplines as well as case studies are brought together to present an in-depth study....

"Industrialisation has brought great benefits to humankind but now after 200 years of fossil fuel use, land clearance and pollution the planet's boundaries are being stretched to their limits. Going beyond these confines would have severe consequences for humankind. To prevent this happening,...

I Från arbetets horisont ger nio historiker sin syn på arbetslivshistorisk eller arbetarhistorisk forskning. I de personligt hållna bidragen diskuterar de utvecklingen av den egna forskningen, dess inriktning och resultat, mot bakgrund av de inom- och utomvetenskapliga förutsättningar som...

Economic archaeology and ancient economic history have boomed the past decades. The former thanks to greatly enhanced techniques to identify, collect, and interpret material remains as proxies for economic interactions and performance; the latter by embracing the frameworks of new institutional...

"This Handbook presents a comprehensive overview of the contributions of feminist economics to the discipline of economics and beyond. Each chapter situates the topic within the history of the field, reflects upon current debates, and looks forward to identify cutting-edge research. The...

"Heterodox economics can provide a more complete and robust explanation of economic realities than orthodox (or mainstream) economics. Contemporary Issues in Heterodox Economics: Implications for Theory and Policy Action argues that this greater explanatory power gives heterodox economics the...
