In addition to updating the traditional material from that text, this book includes the statistical foundations of decision making under risk and uncertainty. Adding to the material covered in Anderson, Dillon, and Hardaker, the text includes material on dynamic decision rules, the arbitrage pricing model, real options theory, and state-contingent production relationships.

To illuminate the drastic changes many European navies have undergone over the last twenty-five years, the author analyzes in several case studies the defense policies and naval strategies of eleven European states as well as the evolution,deployment, and capabilities of their respective naval forces. The author looks at the development of Europe's most important naval forces is assessed per the respective strategic framework in which they have operated over the past two decades. This book describes not only the general composition of each force but also the range of their capabilities and their important technical features."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$a21st Century Foundations 606 $aAeronautics in police work$zUnited States 615 0$aAeronautics in police work 676 $a363.284 700 $aSto?hs$b Jeremy$01673718 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822075703321 996 $aThe decline of European naval forces$94038034 997 $aUNINA
