When is general wariness favored in avoiding multiple predator types?
Adaptive responses to predation are generally studied assuming only one predator type exists, but most prey species are depredated by multiple types. When multiple types occur, the optimal antipredator response level may be determined solely by the probability of attack by the relevant predator: "specific responsiveness." Conversely, an increase in the probability of attack by one predator type...
متن کاملGeneral Equilibrium, Wariness and Bubbles
We say that a consumer is wary if she overlooks gains but not losses in remote sets of dates or states. We formulate this by requiring preferences to be upper but not lower Mackey semi-continuous and Bewley’s result on existence of Arrow-Debreu equilibrium whose prices are not necessarily countably additive holds. We relate wariness to some concepts studied in decision theory like lack of myopi...
متن کاملGeneral equilibrium, wariness and efficient bubbles
Wary consumers overlook gains but not losses in remote sets of dates or states. As preferences are upper but not lower Mackey semi-continuous, Bewley’s (1972) [4] result on existence of equilibrium whose prices are not necessarily countably additive holds. Wariness is related to lack of myopia and to ambiguity aversion (and, therefore, to Bewley’s (1986) [6] work on Knightian uncertainty). Wary...
متن کاملWhen every $P$-flat ideal is flat
In this paper, we study the class of rings in which every $P$-flat ideal is flat and which will be called $PFF$-rings. In particular, Von Neumann regular rings, hereditary rings, semi-hereditary ring, PID and arithmetical rings are examples of $PFF$-rings. In the context domain, this notion coincide with Pr"{u}fer domain. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for...
متن کاملSexual sadism: avoiding its misuse in sexually violent predator evaluations.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), Task Force has recently rejected the proposal to include coercive paraphilia as an official diagnosis, reaffirming that rape is a crime and not a mental disorder. We hope this will discourage what has been the inappropriate practice of giving rapists the made-up diagnosis of paraphilia, NOS, nonconsent, to facilit...
