Consider the set of probability measures on a product space with the property that all have the same marginal distributions on the coordinate spaces. This set may be viewed as a correspondence, when the marginal distributions ...

Rules of Origin (RoO) are essential components of any preferential trade agreement

In this paper we study the production and pricing of a good by a single supplier (such as a monopolist or government) under some given optimality criterion--for example, profit maximization or social benefit maximization. ...
Futures exchanges require a margin requirement that ensures their competitiveness and protects against default risk. This paper applies extreme value theory in computing unconditional optimal margin levels for a selection ...
In recent years, geographic information has entered the mainstream, deeply altering the pre-existing patterns of its production, distribution, and consumption. Through web mapping, millions of online users utilise spatial ...
