Currency Speculation in a Game-theoretic Model of International Reserves

This paper is concerned with the ability of speculation to generate a currency crisis. We consider a game-theoretic setting between a unit mass of speculators and a government that holds foreign currency reserves.

Whereas earlier the results of bargaining were seen as unpredictable or determined by an at most vaguely deened concept of (relative) bargaining power, it is simply a eld of application in view of game theory.

A DECISION-THEORETIC MODEL OF ASSISTANCE A Decision-Theoretic Model of Assistance

There is a growing interest in intelligent assistants for a variety of applications from organizing tasks for knowledge workers to helping people with dementia. However, a general framework that captures the notion of useful assistance is lacking. In this paper, we present and evaluate a decision-theoretic model of assistance. The objective is to observe a goal-directed agent and to select assi...
