Theory of Zipf's Law and beyond

Zipf's law is one of the few quantitative reproducible regularities found in economics. It states that, for most countries, the size distributions of city sizes and of firms are power laws with a specific exponent: the number of cities and of firms with sizes ...

Causality

models, reasoning, and inference

Written by one of the preeminent researchers in the field, this book provides a comprehensive exposition of modern analysis of causation. It shows how causality has grown from a nebulous concept into a mathematical theory with significant applications in the fields of statistics, artificial intelligence ...

Coping with unvertainty

robust solutions

Eds. Kurt Marti, Yuri Ermoliev, Marek Makowski. Support for addressing the on-going global changes needs solutions for new scientific problems which in turn require new concepts and tools. A key issue concerns a vast variety of irreducible uncertainties, including extreme events of high multidimensional consequences ...

Las matemáticas y la física del caos

Este libro trata sobre el caos, es decir, sobre el comportamiento aparentemente errático e impredecible de algunos sistemas dinámicos, incluso en aquellos cuya formulación matemática es determinista. Este comportamiento aparece cuando hay una dependencia sensible a las condiciones iniciales, de modo que si las modificamos ...

Risk analysis

a quantitative guide

"Risk Analysis" concerns itself with the quantification of risk, the modeling of identified risks and how to make decisions from those models. Quantitative risk analysis (QRA) using Monte Carlo simulation offers a powerful and precise method for dealing with the uncertainty and variability of a ...

Pricing interest-rate derivatives

a fourier-transform based approach

This book provides a modular pricing framework which allows the valuation of interestrate derivatives in a general jump-diffusion setup. Starting with a comparison of three Fourier-style pricing methodologies, the book covers the derivation of Fourier-transform based solutions for different interest-rate derivatives by using contour integration ...

Bond Portfolio optimization

The book analyzes how modern portfolio theory and dynamic term structure models can be applied to government bond portfolio optimization problems. The author studies the necessary adjustments, examines the models with regard to the plausibility of their results and compares the outcomes to portfolio selection ...

Evolution of non-expected utility preferences

The theory on the evolution of preferences deals with the endogenous formation of preference relations in strategic situations. It is related to the field of evolutionary game theory. Models are based on the 'indirect evolutionary approach' according to which preferences determine choice behavior which in ...
