Financial literacy and cognitive capabilities are convincingly linked to the quality of financial decision-making, influencing savings, stock-picking, and avoidance of outright financial mistakes. Yet, there is little evidence that education intended to improve financial decision-making is successful. Using plausibly exogenous variation in exposure to state-mandated personal finance and mathema...

Duration of an event tends to be underestimated as it becomes temporally distant (Spetch & Wilkie, 1983). The current study investigated this so-called choose-short effect in time and length in order to reevaluate the claim that the choose-short effect is special to temporal memory (Wearden, Parry, & Stamp, 2002). Participants made discrimination judgments in time or length on a pair of line st...

In the absence of investment and dividend payments, the surplus is modeled by a Brownian motion. But now assume that the surplus earns investment income at a constant rate of credit interest. Dividends are paid to the shareholders according to a barrier strategy. It is shown how the expected discounted value of the dividends and the optimal dividend barrier can be calculated; Kummer’s confluent...

Modifying the methods of Z. Adamowicz’s paper Herbrand consistency and bounded arithmetic (Fund. Math. 171 (2002)), we show that there exists a number n such that ⋃ m Sm (the union of the bounded arithmetic theories Sm) does not prove the Herbrand consistency of the finitely axiomatizable theory Sn 3 . From the point of view of bounded arithmetic, the concept of consistency based on Herbrand’s ...
