This experimental study investigates insurance decisions in low-probability, high-loss risk situations. Results indicate that subjects consider the probability of loss (loss size) when they make buying decisions (paying decisions). Most individuals are risk averse with no specific threshold probability.

A model to evaluate inventory costs in a remanufacturing environment Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Gullu, R (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-11) In this study we investigate possible benefits of remanufacturing in inventory-related costs. In order to examine the conditions on different system parameters that make the remanufacturing option cost attractive, the return ratio is considered as a decision variable. The production environment, where the manufacturing and remanufacturing require both common and separate operations, together with the supplier's operations for the new parts and useful lifetime of the product is modeled as a queuing network. ...
Corporate sector liability dollarization and exchange rate balance sheet effect in Turkey Kesriyeli, Mehtap; Özmen, Erdal; Yigit, Serkan (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) In this study, we investigate the causes and balance sheet effect consequences of Liability Dollarization (LD) of nonfinancial sectors in Turkey. The dynamic panel data Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) results suggest that both sector specific and macroeconomic variables are significant in explaining the corporate sector LD. Industries appear to partially match the currency composition of their debt with their income streams. Devaluations are found to be contractionary, in terms of investments and profit...
A quantitative analysis of cost-push shocks and optimal inflation volatility Senay, Ozge; Sutherland, Alan (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) This article presents a quantitative analysis of optimal inflation volatility in a simple sticky-price general equilibrium model subject to both supply and cost-push shocks. It is found that optimal policy implies a relatively small degree of inflation volatility even when cost-push shocks are the dominant source of economic disturbance. In addition, it is found that optimal policy generates only a very small welfare gain when compared to strict inflation targeting.
Macroeconomic and institutional determinants of current account deficits Ozmen, E (Informa UK Limited, 2005-07-15) This study empirically investigates the effects of institutional and macroeconomic policy variables on current account deficits (CAD). Based on cross-section data for a broad number of countries, the results suggest that better governance increases whilst 'original sin' decreases the ability of an economy to sustain CAD. Exchange rate flexibility and openness appear to put a discipline on CAD. Consistent with the equity home bias and Feldstein-Horioka puzzle, CAD decrease with country size. The net impacts ...
Stochastic optimization applied to self-financing portfolio: does bequest matter? Gazioglu, Saziye; Bastiyali-Hayfavi, Azize (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) The article studies stochastic optimization of an intertemporal consumption model to allocate financial assets between risky and risk-free assets. We use a stochastic optimization technique, in which utility is maximized subject to a self-financing portfolio constraint. The papers in literature have estimated the errors of Euler equations using data from financial markets. It has been shown that it is sufficient to test the first order Euler equation implied by the model. However, they all assume a constant...
