In this study, we analyzed 492,903 asylum hearings from 336 different hearing locations, rendered by 441 unique judges over a thirty-two year period from 1981-2013. We define the problem of asylum adjudication prediction as a binary classification task, and using the random forest method developed...

Combining the results of a recent paper by Fleckinger-Hernández-de Thélin for a non cooperative 2 x 2 system with the method of PhD Thesis of M. H. Lécureux we compute the sign of the solutions of a n x n non-cooperative systems when the parameter varies near the lowest principal eigenvalue of the...

Our model explains the observed gender-specific patterns of career and child care choices through endogenous social norms. We study how these norms interact with the gender wage gap. We show that via the social norm a couple's child care and career choices impose an externality on other couples, so...

This paper deals with a natural stochastic optimization procedure derived from the so-called Heavy-ball method differential equation, which was introduced by Polyak in the 1960s with his seminal contribution [Pol64]. The Heavy-ball method is a second-order dynamics that was investigated to minimize...

Bargaining power in vertical channels depends critically on the "disagreement profit" or the opportunity cost to each player should negotiations fail. In a multiproduct context, disagreement profit depends on the degree of substitutability among the products offered by the downstream retailer. Horn...

We demonstrate that increasing the risk surrounding the variance of future consumption generates a fourth-degree risk deterioration in future consumption, yielding an increase in its excess kurtosis. Its impact on the equilibrium risk premium is thus positive if only if the fourth derivative of the...
