Endogenous Time Preferences in Social Networks

Endogenous Time Preferences in Social Networks

Marianna A. Klochko; Peter C. Ordeshook

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
2005
sidottu
Marianna Klochko and Peter Ordeshook address an under-studied issue from rational choice theory - the common assumption that individual time preferences are exogenous and fixed. They then present empirical evidence to suggest that this is not the case, exploring a computer simulation model that allows for the evolutionary change of time preferences. This is done, moreover, in the context of social networks that are themselves endogenously determined.Beginning with the observation that individual time preferences are endogenous to social context, the authors develop a computer simulation of endogenous time preferences in social networks, the structure of which are themselves allowed to be endogenous. The core conclusion offered, aside from demonstrating the inter-relationship between time preference and network structure, is to show how social complexity can arise from even simple linear structures - a degree of complexity unlikely to be describable with close form analytic models. This volume, moreover, is an application of evolutionary game theory to our understanding of dynamic social processes.Economists concerned with networks, information, behavioral processes and evolutionary games, political scientists and sociologists interested in social networks, and students in all of these disciplines will find this illuminating book a welcome addition to their libraries

Growth theory provides a rich and versatile analytical framework through which fundamental questions about economic development can be examined. This book is an introduction to the newer features of growth theory that are particularly useful in examining the issues of economic development. Structural transformation, in which developing countries transition from traditional production in largely rural areas to modern production in largely urban areas, is an important causal force in creating early economic growth, and as such, is made central in this approach. Towards this end, the authors augment the Solow model to include endogenous theories of saving, fertility, human capital, institutional arrangements, and policy formation, creating a single two-sector model of structural transformation. Based on applied research and practical experiences in macroeconomic development, the model in this book presents a more rigorous, quantifiable, and explicitly dynamic dual economy approach to development. Common microeconomic foundations and notation are used throughout, with each chapter building on the previous material in a continuous flow. With its single model and focus on data and policy analysis, this text is intended for beginning graduate students and policy makers interested in economic development.

MRI Atlas of Human White Matter presents an atlas to the human brain on the basis of T 1-weighted imaging and diffusion tensor imaging. A general background on magnetic resonance imaging is provided, as well as the basics of diffusion tensor imaging. An overview of the principles and limitations in using this methodology in fiber tracking is included. This book describes the core white-matter structures, as well as the superficial white matter, the deep gray matter, and the cortex. It also presents a three-dimensional reconstruction and atlas of the brain white-matter tracts. The Montreal Neurological Institute coordinates, which are the most widely used, are adopted in this book as the primary coordinate system. The Talairach coordinate system is used as the secondary coordinate system. Based on magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor imaging, the book offers a full segmentation of 220 white-matter and gray-matter structures with boundaries.

Financial econometrics brings financial theory and econometric methods together with the power of data to advance understanding of the global financial universe upon which all modern economies depend. Financial Econometric Modeling is an introductory text that meets the learning challenge of integrating theory, measurement, data, and software to understand the modern world of finance. Empirical applications with financial data play a central position in this book's exposition. Each chapter is a how-to guide that takes readers from ideas and theories through to the practical realities of modeling, interpreting, and forecasting financial data. The book reaches out to a wide audience of students, applied researchers, and industry practitioners, guiding readers of diverse backgrounds on the models, methods, and empirical practice of modern financial econometrics. Financial Econometric Modeling delivers a self-contained first course in financial econometrics, providing foundational ideas from financial theory and relevant econometric technique. From this foundation, the book covers a vast arena of modern financial econometrics that opens up empirical applications with data of the many different types that are now generated in financial markets. Every chapter follows the same principle ensuring that all results reported in the book may be reproduced using standard econometric software packages such as Stata or EViews, with a full set of data and programs provided to ensure easy implementation.

The Balance of Power

The Balance of Power

Emerson M. S. Niou; Peter C. Ordeshook; Gregory F. Rose

Cambridge University Press
1989
sidottu
One of the fundamental issues of international relations concerns whether, and under what conditions, stability prevails in anarchic systems, these being systems in which all authority and institutional restraints to action are wholly endogenous. This book uses the tools of game theory to develop a comprehensive theory of such systems and details both necessary and sufficient conditions for stability. The authors first define two forms of stability: system and resource stability. International political systems are said to be stable when no state confronts the possibility of a loss of sovereignty. Resource stability, in contrast, requires that the current distribution of wealth and power among states can change only due to differences in the vitality of economies. The theory developed in this book refines the classic balance-of-power theory and formally incorporates into that theory the consideration of endogenous resource growth, preventive war, war costs, and the imperatives of geography, revealing a fundamental conflict between the concepts of ‘balancers’ and ‘central powers.’

Instructional Design for Task Expertise provides fundamental guidance in designing learner-centered instruction for developing task expertise across educational and training contexts. This textbook is structured into units on defining, designing, developing, and evaluating the instruction. Addressing the field’s need for improvement in design process models, the book introduces graduate students, faculty, instructional designers, and learning experience designers to the Holistic 4D Model as a framework through which they can conduct a one-semester ID project in a small team. The authors offer guidance toward integrating key new advancements such as the integration of learner-centered instructional theory with the ID process, holistic design processes and instructional sequences, analysis-design-evaluation cycles, rapid prototyping, and more. Chapters include procedural and heuristic guidance, real-world examples, and activities to help novice and experienced instructional designers better connect theory to practice.
