Employment contracts give a principal the authority to decide flexibly which task his agent should execute. However, there is a tradeoff, first pointed out by Simon (1951), between flexibility and employer moral hazard. An employment contract allows the principal to adjust the task quickly to the realization of the state of the world, but he may also abuse this flexibility to exploit the agent....

I investigate the relation between returns and volatility at daily to 1-min intervals for VIX ETNs (like ETFs) and futures. As VIX is the implied volatility index and also known as “fear gauge”, this study is on relation between returns of volatility and volatilities of volatility. I find that, contrary to equity and commodity markets, volatility’s return and volatility exhibit positive relatio...

In this paper we consider polynomial kernel representations for behaviors. For behaviors over fields it is well-known that minimal representations, i.e. representations with minimal row degrees, are exactly those representations for which the polynomial matrix is row reduced. In this paper we consider behaviors over a particular type of ring, namely Zpr , where p is a prime number and r is a po...

Efforts to develop behavioral technologies from advances in basic research assume that results from studies with nonhuman subjects can, in some instances, be applied to human behavior. The behavioral principles likely to be most useful for application are those that represent robust general behavioral relations. Basic and applied research on behavioral momentum suggests that there is a general ...

Background Mild behavioural impairment (MBI) is proposed as a diagnostic construct to identify dementia-free individuals with sustained neuropsychiatric symptoms an early manifestation of dementia. Our previous study has demonstrated that MBI predicts faster cognitive decline and progression Other studies have shown was associated Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers for Aβ tau. However, cerebrovascu...

The structural properties of all diagrammatic expansions developed so far can be analyzed systematically with the help of functional equations. In Chapter 3 we have seen that the correlation functions obtained from the functional derivatives of Z[j] via relation (2.14), and the generating functional itself, contain many disconnected parts. Ultimately, however, we shall be interested only in the...

Abstract Background Cancer diagnosis may cause deep emotional and affective problems in patients and their families.Nowadays, however, despite its rising prevalence,cancer is no longer synonymous with death.
