In this provocative book, Paul Glimcher argues that economic theory may provide an alternative to the classical Cartesian model of the brain and behavior. Glimcher argues that Cartesian dualism operates from the false premise that the reflex is able to describe behavior in the real world that animals inhabit. A mathematically rich cognitive theory, he claims, could solve the most difficult problems that any environment could present, eliminating the need for dualism by eliminating the need for a reflex theory. Such a mathematically rigorous description of the neural processes that connect sensation and action, he explains, will have its roots in microeconomic theory. Economic theory allows physiologists to define both the optimal course of action that an animal might select and a mathematical route by which that optimal solution can be derived. Glimcher outlines what an economics-based cognitive model might look like and how one would begin to test it empirically. Along the way, he presents a fascinating history of neuroscience. He also discusses related questions about determinism, free will, and the stochastic nature of complex behavior.

Описание: The chapters of this book contribute to the theory of voting with incomplete information, to the literature on Downsian and probabilistic voting models of elections, to the theory of social choice in distributive environments, and to the theory of optimal dynamic decision-making.
This book examinessustainable wealth formation and dynamic decision-making. The global economyexperienced a veritable meltdown of asset markets in the years 2007-9, wheremany funds were overexposed to risky returns and suffered considerable losses. On the other hand, the long-term upswing inthe stock market since 2010 has led to asset price booms and some new, but also uneven, wealth formation. In this book a broader set ofconstraints and guidelines for asset management and wealth accumulation is developed. The authorsinvestigate how wealth formation and the proper management of financial fundscan help to adequately buffer income risk and obtain sufficient risk-freeincome at a later stage of life, while alsobeing socially and environmentally sustainable.The book explores behavioral and institutional rules fordecision-making that reflect such constraints and guidelines, withoutnecessarily being optimal in the narrow sense. The authors explain the need forsuch a dynamic decision-making and dynamic re-balancing of portfolios, by putting forward dynamic programming as anapproach to dynamic decision-making that can allow sustainable wealthaccumulation and dynamic asset allocation to be successfully integrated.This book provides a clear andcomprehensive treatment of asset accumulation and dynamic portfolio models withan emphasis on long term and sustainable wealth formation. An important concernin public debate is the sustainability of our economy and this book employscutting edge quantitative techniques and models to highlight important factsthat cannot be disputed under any reasonable assumptions. It has the potentialto become a standard reference for both academic researchers and quantitativelytrained practitioners.Eckhard Platen, Professor of Quantitative Finance, University of Technology Sydney, AustraliaThis book should be read by both academics and practitionersalike. The former will find intellectually rigorous discussions andinnovative solutions. The latter may find a few of the concepts a bitchallenging. Yet, theory and technology are there to help simplify the work ofthose who worry about what time it is rather than how to make a watch--- butthey do need a watch.Jean Brunel, Founder of BrunelAssociates and Editor of The Journalof Wealth Management

Описание: Here, two highly experienced authors present an alternative approach to optimal stopping problems. The basic ideas and techniques of the approach can be explained much simpler than the standard methods in the literature on optimal stopping problems.
