care. In order to focus on how liability affects the incentive to prevent harm, assume first that parties are risk neutral and that accidents are unilateral — only injurers (not victims) influence risk — by their choice of care x. Let p(x) be the probability of an accident that causes harm h, where p is declining in x. Assume that the social objective is to minimize total expected costs, x + p(x)h, and let x* denote the optimal x. Under strict liability, injurers pay damages equal to h whenever an accident

Vroom's TESTING primary research was on the expectancy theory of motivation, which attempts to explain why individuals choose to follow certain courses of action in organizations, particularly in decision-making and leadership. His most well-known books are Work and Motivation, Leadership and Decision Making and The New Leadership. Vroom has also been a consultant to a number of corporations such as GE and American Express. pectancy Theory Vroom's theory assumes that behavior results from conscious choices

questions regarding the survival of technology firms and its determinants need to be answered, namely, do these surviving firms have a specific Know-how and developed intangibles? Does their innovative profile have a specific impact on survival probability? What type of observable characteristics at the time of the IPO can one take into account to predict the status of surviving firms in the aftermarket? To my knowledge, only Wilbon (2002) explores these questions by studying the impact of some intellectual

valeur du problème. tel-00715156, version 1 - 19 Jul 2012 Abstract This Ph.D. dissertation deals with the pricing of derivatives on electricity price. It belongs to the eld of Arbitrage Pricing Theory and nancial mathematics. The rst part is a theoretical extension of Arbitrage Pricing Theory : we assess the problem of pricing European contingent claims when the nancial agent has the possibility to transform assets by means of production possibilities. We propose a specic concept of arbitrage

Definition of the expected sales value for a product In order to make outlier correction a simple, but yet efficient, an expected sale volume should be calculated for each SKU. This section defines the methodology for doing so and the underlying theory that justifies this choice. Any product follows its proper lifecycle, which means its corrected sales could behave like the following through time: Source : http ://www.quickmba.com/marketing/product/lifecycle/ Then they should follow a predictable

valuation of a plain vanilla credit default swap with a $1 notional principal (L= $1). We also assume that the claim in the event of default is the face value plus accrued interest. Let’s define T: Life of credit default swap q(t): Risk-neutral default probability density at time t : Expected recovery rate on the reference obligation in a risk-neutral. This is assumed to be independent of the time of the default. u(t): Present value of payments at the rate of $1 per year on payment dates between time zero

Maynard's mother was one of the earliest female students to attend Cambridge. It therefore can be seen that Maynard had a very enriched childhood. After attending Eton, Keynes went to Cambridge.1 His first dissertation (King's) was on the theory of probability. And while it certainly did look like Keynes, at first, was going to concentrate his abilities on mathematics, it was to economics he was to turn. Indeed, he was tempted to go to the bar, which would normally lead to positions of political
