This paper considers a quantile signal framework for first-price auction. Under the independent private value paradigm, a key stability property is that a linear specification for the private value conditional quantile function generates a linear specification for the bids one, from which it can be...

Non-discretionary water consumption is an important component of the ag- gregate demand for water and in the determination of optimal water supply portfolios. To capture these features an intertemporal optimization model is de- veloped to generate an optimal water portfolio, which weights...

The talk initially introduces the notion of weak dependence (Doukhan & Louhichi (1999) which is an extension to Rosenblatt 1956's strong mixing definition. Mixing notions were extremely successful (see Doukhan 1994), anyway they do not cover all the reasonable time series to be considered in...
