在二元选择模型中整合经济和心理见解与社会互动

Integrating economic and psychological insights in binary choice models with social interactions

研究了一类具有社会交互作用的二元选择模型.我们提出了一个统一的观点，整合经济模型使用效用函数和心理模型使用的影响函数。在平均场近似下分析这些模型的平衡结构的一般方法。结果表明，在平均场方法的效用函数和影响函数模型是等效的阈值模型。在模型制定的异质性和随机性之间的相互作用进行了讨论。一个一般的框架适用于一些例子，导致一些著名的模型，但也显示了更复杂的动态相关的多重平衡的可能性。我们的合成可以为许多实际应用提供基础，扩展了二元选择模型的范围。

Techno-economic model of a second-life energy storage system for utility-scale solar power considering li-ion calendar and cycle aging

While the use of energy storage combined with grid-scale photovoltaic power plants continues to grow, given current lithium-ion battery prices, there remains uncertainty about the profitability of these solar-plus-storage projects. At the same time, the rapid proliferation of electric vehicles is creating a fleet of millions of lithium-ion batteries that will be deemed unsuitable for the transportation industry once they reach 80 percent of their original capacity. The repurposing and deployment of these batteries as stationary energy storage provides an opportunity to reduce the cost of solar…

Dynamic consistency of expected utility under non-classical (quantum) uncertainty

Quantum cognition in decision-making is a recent and rapidely growing field. In this paper we develop an expected utility theory in a context of non-classical (quantum) uncertainty. We replace the classical state space with a Hilbert space which allows introducing the concept of quantum lottery. Within that framework we formulate axioms on preferences over quantum lotteries to establish a representation theorem. We show that demanding the consistency of choice behavior conditional on new information is equivalent to the von Neuman-Lüders postulate applied to beliefs. A dynamically consistent q…

Effect Structure and Thermodynamics Formulation of Demand-side Economics

We propose concept of equation of state (EoS) effect structure in form of diagrams and rules. This concept helps justifying EoS status of an empirical relation. We apply the concept to closed system of consumers and we are able to formulate its EoS. According to the new concept, EoS are classified into three classes. Manifold space of thermodynamics formulation of demand-side economics is identified. Formal analogies of thermodynamics and economics consumers' system are made. New quantities such as total wealth, generalized utility and generalized consumer surplus are defined. Microeconomics' …

Information inefficiency in a random linear economy model

We study the effects of introducing information inefficiency in a model for a random linear economy with a representative consumer. This is done by considering statistical, instead of classical, economic general equilibria. Employing two different approaches we show that inefficiency increases the consumption set of a consumer but decreases her expected utility. In this scenario economic activity grows while welfare shrinks, that is the opposite of the behavior obtained by considering a rational consumer.
