What is ambiguity?
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2014-03)
The concept of Ambiguity designates those situations where the information available to the decision maker is insufficient to form a probabilistic view of the world. Thus, it has provided the motivation for departing from ...
Strategy-proofness and essentially single-valued cores revisited
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2014-04)
We consider general allocation problems with indivisibilities where agents' preferences possibly exhibit externalities. In such contexts many different core notions were proposed. One is the gamma-core whereby blocking is ...
Explaining the evolution of educational attainment in the U.S.
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2014-07)
We study the evolution of educational attainment of the 1932–1972 cohorts using a calibrated model of investment in human capital with heterogeneous learning ability. The inter-cohort variation in schooling is driven by ...
Object allocation via deferred-acceptance: strategy-proofness and comparative statics
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2014-12)
We study the problem of assigning indivisible and heterogenous objects (e.g., houses, jobs, offices, school or university admissions etc.) to agents. Each agent receives at most one object and monetary compensations are ...

Ambiguity on the insurer's side: the demand for insurance
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2014-10)
Empirical evidence suggests that ambiguity is prevalent in insurance pricing and underwriting, and that often insurers tend to exhibit more ambiguity than the insured individuals (e.g., [23]). Motivated by these findings, ...
Preliminary effects of conditioned establishing operations on stereotypy
(Springer Verlag, 2014)
We repeatedly paired preferred stimuli with known establishing properties and poster boards (i.e., neutral stimuli) to examine whether these poster boards would acquire the effects of a conditioned establishing operation ...
Assessment and treatment of stereotypy in an individual with Cornelia de Lange syndrome and deafblindness
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Background Several researchers have reduced engagement in stereotypy in individuals with intellectual disability and deafblindness using interventions containing a punishment component. The purpose of our study was to ...
Effects of multiple interventions for reducing vocal stereotypy: Developing a sequential intervention model
(Elsevier, 2014)
Despite the availability of several interventions designed to reduce engagement in vocal
stereotypy, few studies have compared two or more interventions together. Consequently,
practitioners have limited amount of data ...
On the individual optimality of economic integration
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2014-08)
Which countries find it optimal to form an economic union? We emphasize the risk-sharing benefits of economic integration. Consider an endowment world economy model, where international financial markets are incomplete and ...
