Inductive Inference: An Axiomatic Approach, Itzhak Gilboa, David Schmeidler Dec 2001

Inductive Inference: An Axiomatic Approach, Itzhak Gilboa, David Schmeidler

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A predictor is asked to rank eventualities according to their plausibility, based on past cases. We assume that she can form a ranking given any memory that consists of finitely many past cases. Mild consistency requirements on these rankings imply that they have a numerical representation via a matrix assigning numbers to eventuality-case pairs, as follows. Given a memory, each eventuality is ranked according to the sum of the numbers in its row, over cases in memory. The number attached to an eventuality-case pair can be interpreted as the degree of support that the past case lends to the plausibility …


Bootstrapping Macroeconometric Models, Ray C. Fair Dec 2001

Bootstrapping Macroeconometric Models, Ray C. Fair

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper outlines a bootstrapping approach to the estimation and analysis of macroeconometric models. It integrates for dynamic, nonlinear, simultaneous equation models the bootstrapping approach to evaluating estimators initiated by Efron (1979) and the stochastic simulation approach to evaluating models’ properties initiated by Adelman and Adelman (1959). It also estimates for a particular model the gain in coverage accuracy from using bootstrap confidence intervals over asymptotic confidence intervals.


Competitive Pooling: Rothschild-Stiglitz Reconsidered, Pradeep Dubey, John Geanakoplos Dec 2001

Competitive Pooling: Rothschild-Stiglitz Reconsidered, Pradeep Dubey, John Geanakoplos

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We build a model of competitive pooling, which incorporates adverse selection and signalling into general equilibrium. Pools are characterized by their quantity limits on contributions. Households signal their reliability by choosing which pool to join. In equilibrium, pools with lower quantity limits sell for a higher price, even though each household’s deliveries are the same at all pools. The Rothschild-Stiglitz model of insurance is included as a special case. We show that by recasting their hybrid oligopolistic-competitive story into our perfectly competitive framework, their separating equilibrium always exists (even when they say it doesn’t) and is unique.


Penalised Maximum Likelihood Estimation For Fractional Gaussian Processes, Offer Lieberman Dec 2001

Penalised Maximum Likelihood Estimation For Fractional Gaussian Processes, Offer Lieberman

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We apply and extend Firth’s (1993) modified score estimator to deal with a class of stationary Gaussian long-memory processes. Our estimator removes the first order bias of the maximum likelihood estimator. A small simulation study reveals the reduction in the bias is considerable, while it does not inflate the corresponding mean squared error.


Subjective Distributions, Itzhak Gilboa, David Schmeidler Dec 2001

Subjective Distributions, Itzhak Gilboa, David Schmeidler

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A decision maker has to choose one of several random variables, with uncertainty known distributions. As a Bayesian she behaves as if she knew the distributions. In his paper we suggest an axiomatic derivation of these (subjective) distributions, which is much more economical than the derivations by de Finetti or Savage. They derive the whole joint distribution of all the available random variables.


Asymptotic Theory For Multivariate Garch Processes, F. Comte, Offer Lieberman Dec 2001

Asymptotic Theory For Multivariate Garch Processes, F. Comte, Offer Lieberman

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We provide in this paper asymptotic theory for the multivariate GARCH (p,q) process. Strong consistency of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is established by appealing to conditions given in Jeantheau [19] in conjunction with a result given by Boussama [9] concerning the existence of a stationary and ergodic solution to the multivariate GARCH (p,q) process. We prove asymptotic normality of the quasi-MLE when the initial state is either stationary or fixed.


Money And The Monetization Of Credit, Martin Shubik Dec 2001

Money And The Monetization Of Credit, Martin Shubik

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The relationship between money and credit is discussed in terms of network linkage. Fiat money is the only instrument with the universal recognition of its issuer. Near monies such as bank money and money substitutes such as gasoline credit cards can be classified in terms of their network links. This leads to a way of considering the velocity of money.

Believe And Let Believe: Axiomatic Foundations For Belief Dependent Utility Functionals, Leeat Yariv Dec 2001

Believe And Let Believe: Axiomatic Foundations For Belief Dependent Utility Functionals, Leeat Yariv

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A large body of experimental data demonstrates that people’s beliefs influence their well-being beyond the indirect effect through the actions taken. I present a model that incorporates beliefs into an agent’s utility function. The paper provides axiomatic foundations for a special class of non-additive utility indices defined over infinite streams of beliefs and actions. I assume that: 1) there exists a (null) belief that does not have any effect on future preferences; 2) the agent has finite memory – only finite histories have an effect on current preferences; and 3) if the agent knows she will not be getting any …


On Fair Allocations And Indivisibilities, Ning Sun, Zaifu Yang Dec 2001

On Fair Allocations And Indivisibilities, Ning Sun, Zaifu Yang

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper studies the problem of how to distribute a set of indivisible objects with an amount M of money among a number of agents in a fair way. We allow any number of agents and objects. Objects can be desirable or undesirable and the amount of money can be negative as well. In case M is negative, it can be regarded as costs to be shared by the agents. The objects with the money will be completely distributed among the agents in a way that each agent gets a bundle with at most one object if there are more …

A Derivation Of Expected Utility Maximization In The Context Of A Game, Itzhak Gilboa, David Schmeidler Dec 2001

A Derivation Of Expected Utility Maximization In The Context Of A Game, Itzhak Gilboa, David Schmeidler

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A decision maker faces a decision problem, or a game against nature. For each probability distribution over the state of the world (nature’s strategies), she has a weak order over her acts (pure strategies). We formulate conditions on these weak orders guaranteeing that they can be jointly represented by expected utility maximization with respect to an almost-unique state-dependent utility, that is, a matrix assigning real numbers to act-state pairs. As opposed to a utility function that is derived in another context, the utility matrix derived in the game will incorporate all psychological or sociological determinants of well-being that result from …
