    The Handbook of Mathematical Economics aims to provide a definitive source, reference, and teaching supplement for the field of mathematical economics. It surveys, as of the late 1970's the state of the art of mathematical economics. This is a constantly developing field and all authors were invited to review and to appraise the current status and recent developments in their presentations. In addition to its use as a reference, it is intended that this Handbook will assist researchers and students working in one branch of mathematical economics to become acquainted with other branches of this field.Volume 2 elaborates on Mathematical Approaches to Microeconomic Theory, including consumer, producer, oligopoly, and duality theory, as well as Mathematical Approaches to Competitive Equilibrium including such aspects of competitive equilibrium as existence, stability, uncertainty, the computation of equilibrium prices, and the core of an economy.For more information on the Handbooks in Economics series, please see our home page on http://www.elsevier....

    • 1st Edition
    • Paul J. Hopper + 1 more
    • English
    Syntax and Semantics, Volume 15: Studies in Transitivity provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of the study of transitivity. This book discusses how to present events and situations with respect to their participants, and the grammatical consequences of such decisions. Organized into 21 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the grammar and pragmatics of actions and their participants. This text then examines one aspect of the syntactic resolution of clause-internal coreference. Other chapters consider that clauses with more highly transitive components are more likely to be coded as transitive than those with fewer transitive components. This book discusses as well the assumption that French causative sentences may receive either an active or a passive interpretation. The final chapter deals with two types of two-argument sentences in Japanese. This book is a valuable resource for linguists and scholars pursuing questions of discourse, language topology, universal grammar, semantics, and grammatical description and theory.

  • Stochastic Methods in Economics and Finance

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 17
    • A.G. Malliaris + 1 more
    • English
    Theory and application of a variety of mathematical techniques in economics are presented in this volume. Topics discussed include: martingale methods, stochastic processes, optimal stopping, the modeling of uncertainty using a Wiener process, Itô's Lemma as a tool of stochastic calculus, and basic facts about stochastic differential equations. The notion of stochastic ability and the methods of stochastic control are discussed, and their use in economic theory and finance is illustrated with numerous applications. The applications covered include: futures, pricing, job search, stochastic capital theory, stochastic economic growth, the rational expectations hypothesis, a stochastic macroeconomic model, competitive firm under price uncertainty, the Black-Scholes option pricing theory, optimum consumption and portfolio rules, demand for index bonds, term structure of interest rates, the market risk adjustment in project valuation, demand for cash balances and an asset pricing model.

    • 2nd Edition
    • Bozzano G Luisa
    • English
    The principles of foodborne disease and it causes, transmission and control are presented in a comprehensive reference for students and professionals in food science and public health. Part I examines basic concepts and practices of epidemiology as related to foodborne disease. The magnitude of the foodborne disease problem, patterns of disease outbreak, and chains of infection are discussed. Part II describes the nature, detection, prevention and control of foodborne infections from Salmonella, Clostridium, Vibrio and other bacteria, as well as viral and parasitic infections. Part III reviews intoxications of microbial origin including botulism, staphylococcal intoxications, Bacillus cereus gastroenteritis, and mycotoxicoses. In Part IV, techniques for the safe processing and preservation of foods are presented. These methods prevent foodborne diseases and ensure the consumer of a healthy food supply.

    Syntax and Semantics
    • 1st Edition
    • Talmy Givón
    • English
    Syntax and Semantics, Volume 12: Discourse and Syntax provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of the study of the syntax of isolated sentences. This book discusses the relationship between the discourse notion topic and the syntactic notion subject. Organized into five parts encompassing 20 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the discourse-function definition of so-called movement transformations. This text then presents the argument against the existence of an independent structural level called syntax as far as it can go, suggesting that all syntactic behavior within a given range of data can be predicted from functional considerations. Other chapters consider syntax as a mode of the automatic processing of speech. This book discusses as well the integration of the speaker's goals with communicative strategies in the structure and flow of personal narratives. The final chapter deals with discourse-pragmatic governance of so-called syntactic phenomena. This book is a valuable resource for linguists.

  • Presupposition

    Syntax and Semantics
    • 1st Edition
    • Choon-Kyu Oh + 1 more
    • English
    Syntax and Semantics, Volume 11: Presupposition is a collection of papers presented at a conference held at the University of Kansas in April, 1977. The book contains 16 papers dealing with presupposition, contributed by linguists, philosophers, mathematicians, and computer scientists. The first paper proposes formal criteria for distinguishing among various distinct phenomena indiscriminately called "presupposition" in recent literature. The paper also provides excellent and authoritative background information. A set of papers attempts to differentiate diverse phenomena lumped together under the cover term "presupposition" and to supply some sort of strategy for justifying the classification of each of these phenomena. The text closes with a paper that elucidates context and contextual domain. The parallel he drawn between the two is especially fruitful in that it is able to resolve the problem of discourse reference on independently justified grounds. Linguists and language experts will find the book very interesting.
