Information processing filters out the noise in data but it takes time. Hence, lowprecision signals are available before high precision signals. To capture this feature,we develop a model of securities trading in which investors can acquire signals(about future cash flows) of increasing precision...

In this talk, I will present intertwinings between Markov processes and gradients, which are functional relations relative to the space-derivative of a Markov semigroup. I will focus on the discrete case involving birth-death processes, and recall a first-order relation as well as introduce a new...

Individuals often tend to conform to the choices of others in group decisions, compared to choices made in isolation, giving rise to phenomena such as group polarization and the bandwagon effect. We show that this behavior -- which we term the consensus effect -- is equivalent to a well-known...

Electricity cannot be cost-effectively stored even for short periods of time. Consequently, wholesale electricity prices vary widely across hours of the day with peak prices frequently exceeding off-peak prices by a factor of ten or more. Most analyses of energy efficiency policies ignore this...

This paper explores bottled water sales before, during, and after tropical cyclones. We focus on bottled water because local, state, and federal guidelines assert that bottled water is an essential emergency preparedness good. We match a panel of supermarket scanner data with tropical storm and...

We consider a planner's problem of splitting a continuum of agents (e.g., students) with one-dimensional heterogeneous characteristic (e.g., ability) to finitely many groups (e.g., schools) to maximize the planner's objective (e.g., total attainment). Certain constraints may be imposed on the...

L’analyse des décisions de justice oppose classiquement le formalisme légal – qui, dans sa forme extrême, considère que les juges ne sont que « la bouche de la loi » – au réalisme légale – caricaturalement résumé par l’assertion selon laquelle la justice est « ce que le juge a mangé au petit...
