Time-discrete systems analysis, contrallability and optimisation of time-discrete systems and dynamical games

Focuses on the analysis, optimization and controllability of time- discrete dynamical systems and games under the aspect of stability, controllability and (for games) cooperative and non-cooperative treatment. The investigation of stability is based on Lyapunov's method which is generalized to non-autonomous systems. Optimization and ...

Attractors, bifurcations & chaos

nonlinear phenomena in economics

The first part of this book is an introduction to the mathematical methods of modern nonlinear dynamics. It deals with differential equations, ordinary and partial, iterated maps, and bifurcation theory. The second part focuses applications to economics and regional science. Topics such as business cycles ...

Fixed point theory

This monograph gives a carefully worked out account of the most basic principles and applications of the theory of fixed points. Until now, a treatment of many of the discussed topics has been unavailable in book form. The presentation is self-contained and is accessible to ...

Partial identification of probability distributions

Sample data alone never suffice to draw conclusions about populations. Inference always requires assumptions about the population and sampling process. Statistical theory has revealed much about how strength of assumptions affects the precision of point estimates, but has had much less to say about how ...

Assets, beliefs, and equilibria in economic dynamics

essya in honor of Mordecai Kurz

A collection of papers dealing with a broad range of topics in mathematical economics, game theory and economic dynamics. The contributions present both theoretical and applied research. The volume is dedicated to Mordecai Kurz. The papers were presented in a special symposium co-hosted by the ...

Econometric analysis of count data

Proper count data probability models allow for rich inferences, both with respect to the stochastic count process that generated the data, and with respect to predicting the distribution of outcomes. The book starts with a presentation of the benchmark Poisson regression model. Alternative models address ...

Steuerpolitik-Von der Theorie zur Praxis

Festschrift für Manfred Rose

Die Steuerpolitik befindet sich im Spannungsfeld zwischen vielfältigen theoretischen und praktischen Anforderungen. Die Beiträge im ersten Teil der vorliegenden Festschrift widmen sich den normativen und theoretischen Aspekten der Besteuerung und spannen dabei den Bogen von der Staatsverfassung von 1808 bis zum heutigen Stand der Diskussion ...

History of regional science and the Regional Science Association International

the beginnings and early history

A well-written and exciting historical account of the way in which regional science and the formation of the society associated with the field, Regional Science Association International, developed. It starts with the rise of Hitler, the advent of the Keynesian Revolution, the intense mathematization of ...

Decentralised power generation in the liberalised EU energy markets

results from the DECENT Research Project

The book gives a comprehensive overview of technologies for decentralised power generation (DG technologies), including those based on both renewable energy sources (RES), and on combined heat and power (CHP) technologies, and of relevant policies of the EU and its Member States. Special attention is ...

Stochastic calculus and financial applications

The course begins with simple random walk and the analysis of gambling games. This material is used to motivate the theory of martingales, and, after reaching a decent level of confidence with discrete processes, the course takes up the more demanding development of continuous time ...

a practical manual

It is now possible to gain competitive advantages based on consolidated R/3 system implementations. One of the most important optimisation aspects is a more consistent process integration in order to bring about fast, secure and cost effective business processes. This approach inevitably leads to ...

Conjoint measurement

methods and applications

Edited by Anders Gustafsson, Andreas Herrmann, and Frank The book covers all recent developments in Conjoint Analysis. Leading scientists present theory and applications of this technique. In short, the following models, techniques, and applications are discussed: normative models that maximize return, extension of choice-based conjoint ...

Distributed decision making

Distributed decision making (DDM) has become of increasing importance in quantitative decision analysis. In applications like supply chain management, service operations, or managerial accounting, DDM has led to a paradigm shift. The book provides a unified approach to such seemingly diverse fields as multi-level stochastic ...

Unemployment, market structure and growth

The recent labour-market performance varies greatly between the United States and continental Europe on the one hand, and between the low- and high-skilled on the other. This book starts by presenting up-to-date empirical evidence on these stylised facts and on the importance of the intensity ...

Standars and audits for ethics management systems

the European perspective

Today?s management is faced with the new task of implementing and dealing with standardised ethics management systems and values programs. It is a widely accepted fact that these have to be designed individually and firm specific, if they are to be a success. On ...
