  • Escaping from Bad Decisions

    A Behavioral Decision-Theoretic Perspective
    • 1st Edition
    • July 27, 2021
    • Kazuhisa Takemura
    • English
    Escaping from Bad Decisions presents a modern conceptual and mathematical framework of the decision-making process. By interpreting ordinal utility theory as normative analysis examined in view of rationality, it shows how decision-making under certainty, risk, and uncertainty can be better understood. It provides a critical examination of psychological models in multi-attribute decision-making, and evaluates the constitutive elements of "good" and "bad" decisions. Multi-attribute decision-making is analysed descriptively, based on the psychological model of decision-making and computer simulations of decision strategies. Finally, prescriptive examinations of multi-attribute decision-making are performed, supporting the argument that decision-making from a pluralistic perspective creates results that can help "escape" from bad decisions. This book will be of particular interest to graduate students and early career researchers in economics, decision-theory, behavioral economics, experimental economics, psychology, cognitive sciences, and decision neurosciences.

  • Measuring Human Capital

    • 1st Edition
    • July 1, 2021
    • Barbara Fraumeni
    • English
    Measuring Human Capital addresses a country’s most important resource: its own people. Bettering human capital benefits individuals and their country and leads to improved sustainability for the future. For many years economists only used Gross Domestic Product (GDP), now acknowledged to be inadequate without supplemental measures, to gauge a country’s overall value. There is now a recognition that many variables contribute to a country’s worth, which make accurate measurement difficult. Looking beyond GDP by focusing on human capital, researchers, policymakers, government officials, and students can understand what elements impact human capital and how they might improve it in order to increase economic growth and well-being.

    Transforming the Socio Economy with Digital Innovation explores the impacts of digital innovation on socioeconomic phenomena, resilience and governance. The book examines the limitation of using GDP as a measure of economic growth in digital societies, stressing how the Internet promotes a "free" culture that cannot be captured through GDP data. The book synthesizes multi-dimensional research consisting of digital platform ecosystems observations, theoretical appraisals, statistical methods development, in-depth empirical analysis, and database construction for analysis and outcomes compilation. Utilizing analysis from more than 500 global ICT leaders, this book identifies potential challenges and solutions for academic analysis, economic planning and policymaking.

  • Handbook of Econometrics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 7A
    • November 25, 2020
    • English
    Handbook of Econometrics, Volume 7A, examines recent advances in foundational issues and "hot" topics within econometrics, such as inference for moment inequalities and estimation of high dimensional models. With its world-class editors and contributors, it succeeds in unifying leading studies of economic models, mathematical statistics and economic data. Our flourishing ability to address empirical problems in economics by using economic theory and statistical methods has driven the field of econometrics to unimaginable places. By designing methods of inference from data based on models of human choice behavior and social interactions, econometricians have created new subfields now sufficiently mature to require sophisticated literature summaries.

The book reviews fundamental concepts in conduction, forced convection, free convection, boiling, condensation, heat exchangers and mass transfer succinctly and without unnecessary exposition. Throughout, copious examples drawn from current industrial practice are examined with an emphasis on problem-solving for interest and insight rather than the procedural approaches often adopted in courses. The book contains numerous important solved and unsolved problems, utilizing modern tools and computational sources wherever relevant. A subsection on common issues and recent advances is presented in each chapter, encouraging the reader to explore a greater diversity of problems.
