Handbook - Decision-Making Under Uncertainty - Prospect Theory Over time, researchers have become all too aware of the limitations of expected utility theory, especially those raised by the St. Petersburg, Allais, and Ellsberg paradoxes. As a result, numerous alternative theories have been developed to overcome the limitations of expected utility theory without losing its explanatory power. Prospect theory, developed by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky is perhaps the most well-known of these alternative theories. This section covers the following topics: In 1979, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky conducted a series of thought experiments testing the Allais Paradox in Israel, at the University of Stockholm, and at the University of Michigan. More generally, if x and y are outcomes; 0 < p,q,r < 1, where p, q, and r refer to probabilities, they state that: (y, p*q) (x, p) (y, p*q*r) (x, p*r); where the term (outcome, probability) refers to a prospect. Kahnemann and Tversky also found strong evidence of what they referred to as the reflection effect.

Expected utility hypothesis In economics, game theory, and decision theory the expected utility hypothesis refers to a hypothesis concerning people's preferences with regard to choices that have uncertain outcomes (gambles). This hypothesis states that if certain axioms are satisfied, the subjective value associated with a gamble by an individual is the statistical expectation of that individual's valuations of the outcomes of that gamble. This hypothesis has proved useful to explain some popular choices that seem to contradict the expected value criterion (which takes into account only the sizes of the payouts and the probabilities of occurrence), such as occur in the contexts of gambling and insurance. Daniel Bernoulli initiated this hypothesis in 1738. The von Neumann–Morgenstern utility theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions under which the expected utility hypothesis holds. Expected value and choice under risk[edit] Bernoulli's formulation[edit] Nicolas Bernoulli described the St. The St. for .

CO2 Science I was wondering if you would know what the mechanisms are that cause carbon dioxide to trap heat inside the atmosphere? Submitted by: Colleen Answer: The mechanism by which carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere is commonly referred to as the "greenhouse effect." Interactieve Grafiek: Wie zijn de grootste CO2-vervuilers? E... 2030 is nu Decennialang stootten de Verenigde Staten het meeste CO2 ter wereld uit. Tot de economische groei in China een hoge vlucht neemt. In 1960 stoot geen enkel land ter wereld meer CO2 uit dan de VS. Met 2.888 miljoen ton stoot de economische grootmacht dat jaar zelfs meer CO2 uit dan de drie volgende landen op de lijst samen: Rusland, Duitsland en China. De volgende vijftig jaar handhaven de Verenigde Staten hun positie als veruit de grootste CO2-vervuiler ter wereld. Tot rond millenniumwisseling China radicale economische hervormingen begint door te voeren. Vandaag is China ’s werelds grootste uitstoter van CO2. Maar als we gaan kijken per hoofd van de bevolking, zijn het de inwoners van de rijke oliestaten die de grootste hoeveelheden CO2 uitstoten. En hoe zit het met de Belgen? En als land sturen we 100 miljoen ton CO2 de atmosfeer in. Op de interactieve kaart zie je de evolutie van de CO2-uitstoot doorheen de tijd. (c) Courtesy of Politiken Auteur: Kristian Jensen

What did Napoleon like to read? | Shannon Selin Napoleon Bonaparte was a voracious reader. He had a personal librarian, he always travelled with books, and he took a great interest in constructing the ultimate portable library to accompany him on his military campaigns. Napoleon’s taste in books was primarily classical. He had some lifelong favourite authors, including Plutarch, Homer and Ossian. What else did he like to read? Napoleon reading Napoleon’s love of books According to his classmate (and later secretary) Louis Bourrienne, Napoleon read avidly from an early age. [Napoleon] would run to the library, where he read with great eagerness books of history, particularly Polybius and Plutarch.

Age of Revolution Home Page - Age of Revolution New Ideas on Old Wars - The Archaeology of War - Australian National Maritime Museum Maritime archaeologists and technicians study the shipboard computer screens during the 3D photographic survey of submarine HMAS AE1, in early 2018. Image courtesy Navigea Ltd. Expanding the Archaeologist’s toolkit Once upon a time, the archaeologist’s toolkit was likely to consist of a shovel, trowel, bucket, brush, stakes and string. Today it includes a multitude of technological tools such as magnetometers, drones, ground-penetrating radar, 3D imaging and all sorts of acronyms including DGPS, LIDAR, ROVs, AUVs and many more. In the past, archaeologists were digging trenches in the ground or diving in shallow waters. Today, an archaeologist can ‘look’ below the ground without even digging, they can send remote operating vehicles to incredible depths under water, and some are even investigating the potential for an ‘archaeology of the air’.

Waterloo Cowards : Belgian and Dutch Troops : Netherland Troops : Quatre Bras At Quatre Bras the Dutch/Belgian troops saved Wellington's reputation."The Netherlands troops had fought a combat with the French troops the previous evening. They had done so on their own initiative , ---- choosing not to carry out Wellington's order to move their entire force on Nivelles." (- Peter Hofschroer) Quatre Bras was a very small village located near the important crossroards on the road to Brussels. Kincaid recounted, "Quatre Bras at that time consisted of only 3 or 4 houses ... " The morning before battle was relatively quiet until about 2 pm when the Dutch-Belgian and Nassau patrols met the French. Wellington not yet returned from his meeting with Blucher at Ligny and the troops were under the command of Prince of Orange. Behind the Dutch-Belgian positions were several roads but these were blocked by British and German troops being in a state of confusion.
