Decision making can present a considerable amount of complexity in competitive environments; where methods that support possess great relevance. The article presents an extension the Hierarchic Analytical Process; complemented with Personal Construct Theory, which purpose is to reduce ambiguity when defining and establishing values for criteria determined problem.

We analyze the contracting structure in a moral hazard setting with several agents where output is produced jointly and is the only contractible variable. Since the salary of each agent is a function of all agents efforts, a positive externality arises between them. This externality is not internalised by a centralised structure where the principal contracts directly with each agent. Instead, w...

safety analysis of the roads through the accident rates which is one of the widely used tools has been resulted from the direct exposure method which is based on the ratio of the vehicle-kilometers traveled and vehicle-travel time. however, due to some fundamental flaws in its theories and difficulties in gaining access to the data required such as traffic volume, distance and duration of the t...

This thesis is about the Hierarchic Superposition calculus SUP(T) and its application to reasoning in hierarchic combinations FOL(T) of the free first-order logic FOL with a background theory T where the hierarchic calculus is refutationally complete or serves as a decision procedure. Particular hierarchic combinations covered in the thesis are the combinations of FOL and linear and non-linear ...
