Continuous Stochastic Processes -- B. Optional Stopping Theorem -- References -- IndexIn economic situations where action entails a fixed cost, inaction is the norm. Action is taken infrequently, and adjustments are large when they occur. Interest in economic models that exhibit ''lumpy'' behavior of this kind has exploded in recent years, spurred by growing evidence that it is typical in many important economic decisions, including price setting, investment, hiring, durable goods purchases, and portfolio management. In The Economics of Inaction, leading economist Nancy Stokey shows how the tools of stochastic control can be applied to dynamic problems of decision making under uncertainty when fixed costs are present. Stokey provides a self-contained, rigorous, and clear treatment of two types of models, impulse and instantaneous control. She presents the relevant results about Brownian motion and other diffusion processes, develops methods for analyzing each type of problem, and discusses applications to price setting, investment, and durable goods purchases. This authoritative book will be essential reading for graduate students and researchers in macroeconomics.Econometric modelsBrownian movementsElectronic books.Econometric models.Brownian movements.330.01/51923383.03bclStokey Nancy L103524MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454984803321The economics of inaction2449304UNINA02872nam 2200601 450 991046369830332120200520144314.00-19-020071-50-19-020073-1(CKB)2670000000570637(EBL)1814952(SSID)ssj0001347164(PQKBManifestationID)12612814(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001347164(PQKBWorkID)11364337(PQKB)10573597(MiAaPQ)EBC1814952(Au-PeEL)EBL1814952(CaPaEBR)ebr10952668(CaONFJC)MIL650468(OCoLC)893333190(EXLCZ)99267000000057063720141024h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe Chan whip anthology a companion to Zen practice /Translated by Jeffrey L.

Broughton offers an annotated translation of the Whip for Spurring Students Onward Through the Chan Barrier Checkpoints (Changuan cejin), which he abbreviates to Chan Whip. This anthology, compiled by Yunqi Zhuhong (1535-1615), has served as a Chan handbook in both China and Japan since its publication in 1600. To characterize the Chan Whip as ""late Ming Chan"" is inaccurate-in fact, it is a survey of virtually the entirety of Chan literature, running from the late 800s (Tang dynasty) to about 1600 (late Ming). The Chan extracts, the bulk of the book, are followed by a short sectioSpiritual lifeZen BuddhismElectronic books.Spiritual lifeZen Buddhism.294.3/444 Zhuhong1535-1615,Zhuhong1535-1615.953346Zhuhong1535-1615.953346Broughton Jeffrey L.1944-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463698303321The Chan whip anthology2155237UNINA
