Cross-scale interactions, nonlinearities, and forecasting catastrophic events.
Catastrophic events share characteristic nonlinear behaviors that are often generated by cross-scale interactions and feedbacks among system elements. These events result in surprises that cannot easily be predicted based on information obtained at a single scale. Progress on catastrophic events has focused on one of the following two areas: nonlinear dynamics through time without an explicit c...
متن کاملCross-Scale Interactions and Information Transfer
An information-theoretic approach for detecting interactions and information transfer between two systems is extended to interactions between dynamical phenomena evolving on different time scales of a complex, multiscale process. The approach is demonstrated in the detection of an information transfer from larger to smaller time scales in a model multifractal process and applied in a study of c...
متن کاملAgent Models of Catastrophic Events
The study of complex phenomena, such as the interplay between human and natural systems, requires models. To allow for an orderly study of the effects of individual actions the model must comprise different scales of granularity, individuals and aggregates. In a joint research project between IIASA (Austria), DSV (Sweden) and the Hungarian Academy of Science, the flooding problem of Upper Tisza...
متن کاملAccounting Quality and Catastrophic Market Events
Market crashes are rare events with catastrophic consequences. Both the degree of information asymmetry and the risk premium associated with it increase on these days. This should affect equity prices. The increase in information asymmetry also reduces the liquidity at a time when it is particularly valued by investors. If accounting quality reduces the uncertainty concerning firms’ value, the ...
متن کاملEffective Mental Health Response to Catastrophic Events
This article describes how a mental health disaster response plan, which resulted from a collaborative effort between the Arkansas Department of Health and the Arkansas Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers, was used successfully to meet the needs of more than 1,000 displaced survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Included is a discussion of how the components of established disaster r...
