Multiobjective decision-making, de Finetti prevision and fuzzy prevision

, 2013
We introduce an approach to multiobjective decision-making in the context of finite de Finetti random numbers. The objectives are events, the action of an alternative A with respect to an objective O is seen as a finite de Finetti conditional random ...

The fundamental theorem of prevision

, 2013
We study de Finetti's "fundamental theorem of probability", reformulated in the finite case as a computable linear programming problem. The theorem is substantially extended, and shown to have important implications for the subjective theory of ...

Deregulation, government failure, and tragedy: The Report of Phase 2 of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry

Economic Affairs, EarlyView.
Abstract The Inquiry into the fire at Grenfell Tower, London, in 2017 has exposed the failures that led to the tragedy in a commendably exhaustive manner. But the explanation of those failures is seriously inadequate. First, they are attributed to deregulation, when the Inquiry itself details the ways in which the cladding of the building was subject ...

Conjunction and disjunction among conditional events

, 2017
We generalize, in the setting of coherence, the notions of conjunction and disjunction of two conditional events to the case of n conditional events. Given a prevision assessment on the conjunction of two conditional events, we study the set of coherent ...

Leadership and Accountability in Faith‐Based Institutions: Evidence From UK Mosques

Financial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates accountability in religious institutions on the basis of evidence obtained from interviews with relevant parties in UK mosques. We mobilize prior theoretical contention regarding servant leadership and constraints on personal accountability to expose perceptions of seriously deficient discharge outcomes.

Domesticating robots, domesticating language: The hylomorphic paradox of “openness” in large language models

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract This article examines how openness is interpreted in human–LLM interaction through an ethnographic study of a robotics experiment. Focusing on an episode in which a robot produced an unexpected utterance, I analyze how engineers classify the output as inconsequential noise.

Convergence results for conditional expectations [PDF]

, 2005
Let E,F be two Polish spaces and [Xn,Yn],[X,Y] random variables with values in E×F (not necessarily defined on the same probability space). We show some conditions which are sufficient in order to assure that, for each bounded continuous function f on E ...

The House Appropriations Committee Surveys & Investigations Staff and the Arc of Congressional Competence

Legislative Studies Quarterly, Volume 51, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This article follows the arc of congressional competence through the development and decline of the House Appropriations Committee (HAC) Surveys & Investigations (S&I) staff, an enduring oversight unit whose investigations were unobserved by design. S&I was quietly reorganized out of existence in December 2024. Why? What, if anything, is lost?

Some results on imprecise conditional prevision assessments

, 2020
In this paper we consider conditional prevision assessments on random quantities with finite set of possible values. After some preliminaries, we give the notions of generalized coherence and total coherence for imprecise conditional prevision ...
