Ambitious Emissions Goal as a Strategic Preemption

Expectations and Aspirations: Explaining Ambitious Goal-setting and Nonconvex Preferences

Research in psychology typically distinguishes between expectations and aspirations, yet economic models that incorporate reference dependence generally assume a single reference point. We propose a dual reference point model in which loss aversion is determined by an expectations-based reference point and value function curvature is anchored relative to an aspiration level or goal. The model p...

A Neural Expert System with Goal Seekingfunctions for Strategic Planning

This paper presents a neural expert system approach to designing an intelligent strategic planning system. The main recipe of the proposed neural expert system is an inference mechanism capable of performing backwards. Four strategic planning portfolio models are considered: BCG matrix, Growth/Gain matrix, GE matrix, and Product/Market Evolution Portfolio matrix. The proposed neural expert syst...
