Abstract:
Choice functions play an important role in political science. We present structure results of choice functions following an algebraic approach. It is logical that rational political actors are not able to perceive every alternative in a set of alternatives X. They may also choose to exclude some alternatives from consideration. Let S be a subset of X that some set of political actors are not able to perceive. Then the complement X\S is the set comprising those alternatives considered in the decision process. If C is a choice function on X, then C(X\S) are the alternatives chosen and X\C(X\S) are those that are not. We are thus led to the concept of an upper choice function. We define upper choice functions in terms of choice functions and we give relationships between them.

Abstract:
In this paper, we introduce four distances on the set of fuzzy choice functions defined on a finite choice space. They are studied along with four distances on the set of fuzzy relations. The two types of distance allow to investigate the way the changes in fuzzy preferences are reflected in the changes of fuzzy choice associated with them. Also the way the changes in fuzzy choices manifest themselves in changes in fuzzy preferences are studied. The coefficient of normality of a fuzzy choice function is defined as a measure of normality and its variation is evaluated with respect to the variation of fuzzy choices. Finally, the variation of some congruence indicators is evaluated as effect of the changes in fuzzy choices.

Abstract:
If we assume that the preferences of a set of political actors are not cyclic, we would like to know if their collective choices are rationalizable. Given a fuzzy choice rule, do they collectively choose an alternative from the set of undominated alternatives? We consider necessary and sufficient conditions for a partially acyclic fuzzy choice function to be rationalizable. We find that certain fuzzy choice functions that satisfy conditions α and β are rationalizable. Furthermore, any fuzzy choice function that satisfies these two conditions also satisfies Arrow and Warp.

Full text
Abstract:
Choice functions on gambles (uncertain rewards) provide a framework for studying diverse preference and uncertainty models. For single decisions, applying a choice function is straightforward. In sequential problems, where the subject has multiple decision points, it is less easy. One possibility, called a normal form solution, is to list all available strategies (specifications of acts to take in all eventualities). This reduces the problem to a single choice between gambles. We primarily investigate three appealing behaviours of these solutions. The first, subtree perfectness, requires that the solution of a sequential problem, when restricted to a sub-problem, yields the solution to that sub-problem. The second, backward induction, requires that the solution of the problem can be found by working backwards from the final stage of the problem, removing everything judged non-optimal at any stage. The third, locality, applies only to special problems such as Markov decision processes, and requires that the optimal choice at each stage (considered separately from the rest of the problem) forms an optimal strategy. For these behaviours, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on the choice function. Showing that these hold is much easier than proving the behaviour from first principles. It also leads to answers to related questions, such as the relationship between the normal form and another popular form of solution, the extensive form. To demonstrate how these properties can be checked for particular choice functions, and how the theory can be easily extended to special cases, we investigate common choice functions from the theory of coherent lower previsions.

Abstract:
Forecasting of risk measures is an important part of risk management for financial institutions. Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall are two commonly used risk measures and accurately predicting these risk measures enables financial institutions to plan adequately for possible losses. Point forecasts from different methods can be compared using consistent scoring functions, provided the underlying functional to be forecasted is elicitable. It has been shown that the choice of a scoring function from the family of consistent scoring functions does not influence the ranking of forecasting methods as long as the underlying model is correctly specified and nested information sets are used. However, in practice, these conditions do not hold, which may lead to discrepancies in the ranking of methods under different scoring functions. We investigate the choice of scoring functions in the face of model misspecification, parameter estimation error and nonnested information sets. We concentrate on the family of homogeneous consistent scoring functions for Value-at-Risk and the pair of Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall and identify conditions required for existence of the expectation of these scoring functions. We also assess the finite-sample properties of the Diebold-Mario Test, as well as examine how these scoring functions penalize for over-prediction and under-prediction with the aid of simulation studies.<br>Science, Faculty of<br>Statistics, Department of<br>Graduate

In each setting, I vary the loss function used when estimating returns and covariances, length of the estimation window, and number of factors used in our estimation model. I find that when measuring performance by Sharpe ratio, choice of loss function strongly influences whether the mean-variance model portfolio outperforms the equal weight or minimum variance portfolio, and that the optimal loss function depends on the length of the estimation window and the dimension of the return model. It appears that we don't gain much by using more factors. The 3-factor model does a pretty good job based on Sharpe ratio, and the results are consistently the best for MVO(10). With more factors, it seems clear that we need longer estimation windows, but even then we do not gain anything in terms of Sharpe Ratio. However, when measuring performance by the certainty-equivalent return, I find that the mean-variance model portfolio does not outperform the minimum variance portfolio or the equal weight portfolio in any setting. This suggests that choosing a loss function carefully is imperative to managing estimation errors and that an investor's utility preferences and attitude towards risk should be taken into account when choosing a measure of performance.<br>by Dhruv Ramesh.<br>M.

Full text
Abstract:
Three experiments arranged a concurrent chained schedule that probabilistically arranged reinforcement or extinction. In Experiments 1 and 2, the probability of obtaining food in the terminal link period, following a given left or right lever choice, was the complement of the probability that the initial link choice would produce a transition to the terminal link. Also, the probability of reinforcement in the terminal link was either signaled or unsignaled, depending upon condition. In Experiment 1, a steady-state environment kept the relative probabilities of reinforcement constant within-session and Experiment 2 varied the relative probabilities of reinforcement within-session. Experiment 3 arranged equal rates of terminal link transition to either a signaled-reinforcement or an unsignaled-reinforcement terminal link. The location of the signaled option and the relative probabilities of reinforcement changed within-session. The signaled option produced either a reinforcement-correlated terminal link stimulus (i.e., conditional reinforcement) or an extinction-correlated terminal link stimulus. The unsignaled alternative produced the same terminal link stimulus regardless of the outcome. Overall, Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrated that rats frequently favor the option providing higher rates of terminal link transition at the expense of the probability of terminal link unconditional reinforcement. However, in Experiment 2, this tendency was reduced when the probabilities of reinforcement were signaled, suggesting weak control by conditional reinforcement. Experiment 3 did not show preference for the reinforcement-correlated signaled option in rats. Rather, it appears overall preference was controlled by an avoidance of the extinction-correlated option.

Abstract:
Diese Dissertation untersucht verschiedene soziale sowie landschaftsästhetische Funktionen der Landwirtschaft in strukturell gegensätzlichen Agrarsystemen. In der Untersuchung wird hierfür stets ein von kleinen Familienbetrieben dominiertes System mit einem stärker großstrukturierten, gewerblichen System verglichen. Die Arbeitszufriedenheit der Landwirte sowie ihre soziale Vernetzung mit der lokalen Gemeinde wurden im Vergleich zwischen dem kleinbäuerlichen Schweizer und dem großbetrieblichen nordostdeutschen System analysiert. Mittels Choice Experimenten wurden in der Schweiz und in Süddeutschland (d.h. kleinbäuerliche Systeme) sowie in Ostdeutschland (d.h. großstruktiertes, gewerbliches System) zudem Bevölkerungspräferenzen für Agrarlandschaften und damit die ästhetische Funktion der Landwirtschaft untersucht. Unter Berücksichtigung der Betriebsstruktur (z.B. Betriebsgröße) sind Schweizer Bauern zufriedener mit ihrer Arbeit als nordostdeutsche. Das Betriebseinkommen ist für nordostdeutsche Bauern signifikant wichtiger für die Arbeitszufriedenheit als für die Schweizer Kollegen. Besonders für Schweizer Bauern spielt die Betriebsdiversifizierung eine positive Rolle für die Zufriedenheit, z.B. die Vielfalt der Produktionszweige oder nicht-landwirtschaftliche Betriebszweige wie Agrotourismus. Auch haben Schweizer Bauern und solche kleinerer Betriebe mehr Bezug zu ihrer lokalen Gemeinde durch lokal fokussierte soziale Netzwerke. Betriebsleiter größerer Betriebe sind hauptsächlich außerhalb der Gemeinden vernetzt und fühlen sich diesen weniger zugehörig. Zudem stärkt ein biographischer Bezug zum Hof die Verbindung mit der Gemeinde. Die Mehrheit der befragten Schweizer und Ostdeutschen ist zudem für qualitative Veränderungen der Agrarlandschaften (d.h. mehr Weiden zur Freilandhaltung, Streuobstwiesen und höhere Biodiversität). Waldrückgange sowie Schlaggrößenveränderungen landwirtschaftlicher oder forstlicher Flächen werden nahezu einheitlich abgelehnt.<br>This dissertation investigates different social functions of agriculture as well as landscape aesthetics in farming systems of different agricultural structures. Throughout the whole project farming systems dominated by small family farms and large-scale farming systems dominated by commercial non-family farms (e.g. cooperatives) were compared. Farmers’ work satisfaction and their connection to the local community were examined in the small-scaled Swiss system and in the larger scaled Northeast (NE) German one. Public landscape preferences were derived using choice experiments in Switzerland and South Germany, representing small-scale systems, as well as in East Germany, representing a large-scaled one, to explore agriculture‘s aesthetic function. Swiss farmers are more satisfied with their agricultural work if for effects of farm structure (e.g. farm size) is controlled for. Farm income plays a significantly more important role for the work satisfaction of NE German farmers than for that of Swiss ones. Especially for Swiss farmers, farm diversification plays an important role, for example through a diversity of production lines or through non-agricultural activities like agrotourism. Further results show that Swiss farmers and farmers of smaller farms are more connected to their local communities through more locally focused social networks. Farmers of larger farms have their networks farther away from the farm and a weaker sense of belonging to their local community. A biographical bond to the farm also strenghtens the connection to the local community. Concerning public landscape preferences the majority of the Swiss and East German respondents generally prefers qualitative changes to landscapes (i.e. meadows for free range animal husbandry, meadow orchards and more biodiversity). Forest loss or changes in plot sizes of agricultural land and forests are nearly uniformly rejected in all regions.

This paper reports on data from a questionnaire survey conducted in a target group of students in doctoral study programs in the disciplines of product/industrial design, photography, and audio-visual studies. The survey aimed at subjective language needs and wants in the knowledge of specific lexis, choice of grammatical tense, lexical bundles, use of verbs in the passive voice, and appropriate choice of formal register, structure, and inner text organisation. The survey measured the level of confidence when identifying selected language means of style and their rhetoric functions in the genre of an academic journal article. The data indicate the language needs of the respondents to become more familiar with the wording of statements and the question of choosing appropriate stylistic language means. The knowledge gained can be applied in the creation of materials for teaching academic writing.

Abstract:
When aggregating preferences of multiple agents, strategyproofness is a fundamental requirement. For randomized voting rules, so-called social decision schemes (SDSs), strategyproofness is usually formalized with the help of utility functions. A classic result shown by Gibbard in 1977 characterizes the set of SDSs that are strategyproof with respect to all utility functions and shows that these SDSs are either indecisive or unfair. For finding more insights into the trade-off between strategyproofness and decisiveness, we propose the notion of U-strategyproofness which requires that only voters with a utility function in the set U cannot manipulate. In particular, we show that if the utility functions in U value the best alternative much more than other alternatives, there are U-strategyproof SDSs that choose an alternative with probability 1 whenever all but k voters rank it first. We also prove for rank-based SDSs that this large gap in the utilities is required to be strategyproof and that the gap must increase in k. On the negative side, we show that U-strategyproofness is incompatible with Condorcet-consistency if U satisfies minimal symmetry conditions and there are at least four alternatives. For three alternatives, the Condorcet rule can be characterized based on U-strategyproofness for the set U containing all equi-distant utility functions.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes how labor ows respond to permanent idiosyncratic shifts in rm-level production functions and demand curves using very detailed Swedish micro data. Shocks to rms physical productivity have only modest eects on rm-level employment decisions. In contrast, the paper documents rapid and substantial employment adjustments through hires and separations in response to rm-level demand shocks. The choice of adjustment margin depends on the sign of the shock: rms adjust through increased hires if these shocks are positive and through increased separations if the shocks are negative.

Abstract:
This paper develops a flexible, semi-structural framework to empirically quantify the non-linear transmission of income shocks to household portfolio choice decisions both at the extensive and intensive margins. I model stock market participation and portfolio allocation rules as age-dependent functions of persistent and transitory earnings components, wealth and unobserved taste shifters. I establish non-parametric identification and propose a tractable, simulation-based estimation algorithm, building on recent developments in the sample selection literature. Using recent waves of PSID data, I find heterogeneous income and wealth effects on both extensive and intensive margins, over the wealth and life-cycle dimensions. These results suggest that preferences are heterogeneous across the wealth distribution and over the life cycle. Moreover, in impulse response exercises, I find sizeable extensive margin responses to persistent income shocks. Finally, I find heterogeneity in participation costs across households in the wealth distribution.

Abstract:
The common choice of using a direct forecasting scheme implies that the individual predictions ignore information on their cross-horizon dependence. However, this dependence is needed if the forecaster has to construct, based on direct density forecasts, predictive objects that are functions of several horizons (e.g. when constructing annual-average growth rates from quarter-on-quarter growth rates). To address this issue we propose using copulas to combine the individual h-step-ahead predictive distributions into one joint predictive distribution. Our method is particularly appealing to those for whom changing the direct forecasting specification is too costly. We use a Monte Carlo study to demonstrate that our approach leads to a better approximation of the true density than an approach that ignores the potential dependence. We show the superior performance of our method using several empirical examples, where we construct (i) quarterly forecasts using month-on-month direct forecasts, (ii) annual-average forecasts using monthly year-on-year direct forecasts, and (iii) annual-average forecasts using quarter-on-quarter direct forecasts.
