Monotone Comparative Statics under Uncertainty
This paper analyzes monotone comparative statics predictions in several classes of stochastic optimization problems. The main results characterize necessary and sufficient conditions for comparative statics predictions to hold based on properties of primitive functions, that is, utility functions and probability distributions. The results apply when the primitives satisfy one of the following t...
متن کاملOn Price Caps under Uncertainty
This paper shows how standard arguments supporting the imposition of price caps break down in the presence of demand uncertainty. In particular, though in the deterministic case the introduction or lowering of a price cap (above marginal cost) results in increased production, increased total welfare, decreased prices, and increased consumer welfare, we show that all of the above comparative sta...
متن کاملDistributional Comparative Statics
An important set of questions in economics concern how changes in the distribution of economic parameters (income, wealth, productivity, distortions, information, etc.) impact individual choices and market outcomes. We currently do not have tools to answer such questions. In this paper, I develop a theory of distributional comparative statics that addresses this set of issues. Central to the de...
متن کاملCyclosporine therapeutic window evaluation by Chebyshev's inequality method in kidney recipients.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify a cyclosporine therapeutic range for kidney recipients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cyclosporine exposure level was based on the calculation of the mean area under the concentration-time curve AUC(0-12). The AUC(0-12) was estimated using a Bayesian estimator and a 3-point limited sampling strategy. Cyclosporine exposure levels were obtained from 3...
متن کاملComparative Statics Analysis of Some Operations Management Problems
We propose a novel analytic approach for the comparative statics analysis of operations management problems on the capacity investment decision and the influenza (flu) vaccine composition decision. Our approach involves exploiting the properties of the underlying mathematical models, and linking those properties to the concept of stochastic orders relationship. The use of stochastic orders allo...
