Federal courts are a mainstay of the justice system in the United States. In this study, we analyze 387,898 cases from U.S. Courts of Appeals, where judges are randomly assigned to panels of three. We predict which judge dissents against co-panelists and analyze the dominant features that predict...

Post-therapeutic surveillance is one important component of cancer care. However, there still is no evidence-based strategies to schedule patients' follow-up examinations. Our approach is based on the modeling of the probability of the onset of relapse at an early asymptotic or preclinical stage...

Natural resources, labors and physical capital are used in the final goods sector and...

Taking a mechanism design perspective, we study how countries can agree on effort levels and compensations to take into account multilateral...

We study the existence of different notions of values in two-person zero-sum repeatedgames where the state evolves and players receive signals. We provide some examplesshowing that the limsup value and the uniform value may not exist in general. Then,we show the existence of the value for any Borel...
