On an unified framework for approachability in games with or without signals [PDF]
, 2013 We unify standard frameworks for approachability both in full or partial monitoring by defining a new abstract game, called the "purely informative game", where the outcome at each stage is the maximal information players can obtain, represented as some ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active

Blackwell-Nash Equilibrium for Discrete and Continuous Time Stochastic Games
, 2016 We consider both discrete and continuous time finite state-action stochastic games. In discrete time stochastic games, it is known that a stationary Blackwell-Nash equilibrium (BNE) exists for a single controller additive reward (SC-AR) stochastic game which is a special case of a general stochastic game.

Financial Statement Readability and Firm Debt Choice
Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Examining more than 16,000 firm‐year observations in the United States, we provide novel evidence showing that higher financial statement readability leads to a decrease in information asymmetry and the need for external monitoring, thereby reducing the reliance on bank debt relative to public debt.
