It is unclear ex ante what adjustments could improve revenue's usefulness because, unlike earnings, a top-line number related primarily to core (i.e., persistent) business activities.

Neurobiological research on learning assumes that temporal contiguity is essential for association formation, but what constitutes temporal contiguity has never been specified. We review evidence that learning depends, instead, on learning a temporal map. Temporal relations between events are encoded even from single experiences. The speed with which an anticipatory response emerges is proporti...

When considering problems of sequential decision making under uncertainty, two of the most interesting questions are: How does the value of the optimal decision variable change with an increase in risk? How does the value of the optimal decision variable change with a more informative signal? In this paper we show that, if the payoff function is linear in the random variable, then one model can...
