Genetically Proxied GIP‐GIPR Pathway Perturbation and Fracture Risk
Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims To determine whether genetic proxies for incretin pathway perturbation are associated with fracture risk and bone mineral density, providing human genetic evidence relevant to the skeletal safety of incretin‐based therapies. Materials and Methods We conducted drug‐target Mendelian randomisation using cis genetic variants near GIP, GIPR ...

When Allais meets Ulysses: Dynamic Consistency and the Certainty Effect [PDF]
We report experimental findings about subjects’ behavior in dynamic decision problems involving multistage lotteries with different timings of resolution of uncertainty. Our within subject design allows us to study violations of the independence axiom in

Economica, EarlyView.Abstract I argue that economists' distinction between ‘pure’ and ‘applied’ economic theory is often based on papers' stylistic markers rather than their methodology or scope. I illustrate this point with a model of price competition for boundedly rational consumers, due to Piccione and Spiegler. I first present its original, ‘pure style’ version.

Evidence Gathering Under Competitive and Noncompetitive Rewards
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reward schemes may affect not only agents' effort but also their incentives to gather information in order to reduce the riskiness of the productive activity. In a laboratory experiment using a novel task, we find that the relationship between incentives and evidence gathering depends critically on the availability of information about peers ...

On the existence of the true value of a probability. Part I: Determinism versus aleatorism [PDF]
Objetivist models are based on the deterministic hypothesis that postulates the existence of probability, which is cognoscible only in an asymptotic manner.

Basic elements and problems of probability theory [PDF]
, 1999 After a brief review of ontic and epistemic descriptions, and of subjective, logical and statistical interpretations of probability, we summarize the traditional axiomatization of calculus of probability in terms of Boolean algebras and its set ...
