Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissertation investigates intertemporal decision-making under uncertainty. In particular, I analyze how two traditionally under-explored sources of uncertainty affect trade-offs between the present and the future in making decisions: a) uncertainty of life, and b) strategic uncertainty in collective action dilemmas. Chapter 1 deals with the temporal dynamics of value in strategic interactions, and Chapter 2 extends the analysis to incorporate interaction between a homogeneous vis-à-vis a heterogeneous triad. Participants affiliated with different social groups at the University of Washington, Seattle, participated in a series of one-shot Voluntary Contribution Mechanism (VCM) games; the games extended the incentive structure of the VCM to decompose it into the relative temporal change in the public and private accounts, in addition to varying the social composition of the participating groups. Results from the experiment indicate that temporal delay is a significant factor in explaining voluntary contribution, with the outcomes being sensitive to the time horizon. To gauge the mechanisms of voluntary contribution with delayed rewards, the hypothesis as to whether expectation of how others' value the future affect one's own contribution was also tested. The results indicate that conditioning on our future self, how others value the future enters our calculus of voluntary contribution, but conditioning on our present self it has no effect. In "real life" settings, that benefits from cooperative behavior materialize in the near or distant future is perhaps the general rule. The proper functioning of markets is built upon cooperation between buyer and seller, the benefits of which are often realized in the future (for example, e-commerce or group buying schemes). The provision of public goods, whether it be providing immunization to a village, restoring a natural park, or contributing towards global public goods such as carbon offset projects - each have a temporal element embedded into them. In climate change and environmental negotiations, different countries with differing stated valuations of the future interact to provide a global public good, i.e. a habitable climate. Summers and Zeckhauser (2008) note that at International Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) negotiations, how to discount the future is always a thorny issue. Other real-life applications such as the contours of racism and the role of cliques in organizational behavior can also be better understood by unpacking the interaction between social and temporal preferences in collective action. Future studies confirming the robustness of the results, finding contradictory evidence, as well as testing hypothesis not found significant in the present study will be a fruitful line of inquiry. While there has been a plethora of studies on discounting behavior in individual decisions that have documented the phenomenon of present-bias (Kahneman, 1979; Frederick and Loewenstein, 2002), the results from the first two chapters contributes to the nascent literature in the field of discounting in strategic interactions that have been conducted to date by Deck and Jahedi (2013a, 2013b). Chapter 3 analyzes data from the World Bank Living Standard Measurement Survey (LSMS) conducted in Nepal (2003/04 and in 1995/96), in addition to the data on conflict measures collected by INSEC, a non-profit group promoting human rights, to gauge the effect of the "Maoist" civil war on agricultural household decision-making. Results indicate that in addition to causing the destruction of physical capital, life and the deterioration of social norms, the civil war was associated with changes in future-oriented decision making and inhibited household investments in the future. The evidence suggests that the civil conflict in Nepal further exacerbated the existing poverty levels by inhibiting investment levels further pushing households deeper in the chasm of a "poverty trap."

Download or read book Behavioral Economics and Public Health written by Christina A. Roberto and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2016 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavioral economics has potential to offer novel solutions to some of today's most pressing public health problems: How do we persuade people to eat healthy and lose weight? How can health professionals communicate health risks in a way that is heeded? How can food labeling be modified to inform healthy food choices? Behavioral Economics and Public Health is the first book to apply the groundbreaking insights of behavioral economics to the persisting problems of health behaviors and behavior change. In addition to providing a primer on the behavioral economics principles that are most relevant to public health, this book offers details on how these principles can be employed to mitigating the world's greatest health threats, including obesity, smoking, risky sexual behavior, and excessive drinking. With contributions from an international team of scholars from psychology, economics, marketing, public health, and medicine, this book is a trailblazing new approach to the most difficult and important problems of our time.

Download or read book Competitive Strategy written by Benoit Chevalier-Roignant and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-12-22 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new paradigm for balancing flexibility and commitment in management strategy through the amalgamation of real options and game theory. Corporate managers who face both strategic uncertainty and market uncertainty confront a classic trade-off between commitment and flexibility. They can stake a claim by making a large capital investment today, influencing their rivals' behavior, or they can take a “wait and see” approach to avoid adverse market consequences tomorrow. In Competitive Strategy, Benoît Chevalier-Roignant and Lenos Trigeorgis describe an emerging paradigm that can quantify and balance commitment and flexibility, “option games,” by which the decision-making approaches of real options and game theory can be combined. The authors first discuss prerequisite concepts and tools from basic game theory, industrial organization, and real options analysis, and then present the new approach in discrete time and later in continuous time. Their presentation of continuous-time option games is the first systematic coverage of the topic and fills a significant gap in the existing literature. Competitive Strategy provides a rigorous yet pragmatic and intuitive approach to strategy formulation. It synthesizes research in the areas of strategy, economics, and finance in a way that is accessible to readers not necessarily expert in the various fields involved.

Download or read book Taming Uncertainty written by Ralph Hertwig and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the cognitive tools that the mind uses to grapple with uncertainty in the real world. How do humans navigate uncertainty, continuously making near-effortless decisions and predictions even under conditions of imperfect knowledge, high complexity, and extreme time pressure? Taming Uncertainty argues that the human mind has developed tools to grapple with uncertainty. Unlike much previous scholarship in psychology and economics, this approach is rooted in what is known about what real minds can do. Rather than reducing the human response to uncertainty to an act of juggling probabilities, the authors propose that the human cognitive system has specific tools for dealing with different forms of uncertainty. They identify three types of tools: simple heuristics, tools for information search, and tools for harnessing the wisdom of others. This set of strategies for making predictions, inferences, and decisions constitute the mind's adaptive toolbox. The authors show how these three dimensions of human decision making are integrated and they argue that the toolbox, its cognitive foundation, and the environment are in constant flux and subject to developmental change. They demonstrate that each cognitive tool can be analyzed through the concept of ecological rationality—that is, the fit between specific tools and specific environments. Chapters deal with such specific instances of decision making as food choice architecture, intertemporal choice, financial uncertainty, pedestrian navigation, and adolescent behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzes capital investment as a process in which an individual, entrepreneur, or organization comes to understand "value" before making a choice. Runge, an economist and mining engineer based in Australia, maintains that subjective value and uncertainty inform investment decision-making far more than the calculus of simple neoclassical choice suggests. His model of the capital investment process within a firm analyzes uncertainty and where it translates into risk. Runge sets out theories and tools for choosing between alternatives with differing risk and return profiles. His model provides a framework for decision-making that can lead to choices with lower overall risk, higher returns, and increased value. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Modeling Environment-Improving Technological Innovations Under Uncertainty written by Alexander Golub and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-12-08 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a compendium of methodologies for evaluating the economic impact of technological innovation upon climate-change policy. There is a broad consensus on the key elements of climate-change science and agreement that near-term actions are needed to prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. However, there is little agreement on the costs and benefits of climate policy. Any policy implementation will result in an irreversible but environment-improving investment in alternative technologies; this change will generate immediately-realized costs but significantly-delayed benefits. Hence, a critical element in policy selection is the inherent uncertainty in the climate and economy that can be expected over time.
