FORWARD CONTRACTS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS

Journal of Financial Economics, 1981
Abstract This paper provides a detailed discussion of the similarities and differences between forward contracts and futures contracts. Under frictionless markets and continuous trading, simple arbitrage arguments are invoked to value forward contracts, to relate forward prices and spot prices, and to relate forward prices and futures prices. We also

Contraction and the control of contraction

World Journal of Surgery, 1980
AbstractWound contraction is a basic mechanism for wound closure that can be lifesaving. Yet, wound contraction can also produce considerable deformity and misery in conditions as diverse as burn scar contracture, cirrhosis, Dupuytren's contracture, and contracture around silicone tissue implants.

Contracts and contracting

Clinical Social Work Journal, 1980
The concept of the contract has been invoked with increasing frequency in the literature on social work practice in recent years. Since the process of negotiation that is present in all relationships takes many different forms, the idea of contracts is complex, and can be confusing.

On Observing Contracts: Deontic Contracts Meet Smart Contracts

2018
Smart contracts have been proposed as executable implementations enforcing real-life contracts. Unfortunately, the semantic gap between these allows for the smart contract to diverge from its intended deontic behaviour. In this paper we show how a deontic contract can be used for real-time monitoring of smart contracts specifically and request-based ...

Blockage Contraction

Journal of Philosophical Logic, 2012
In the AGM theory of partial meet belief change, as also in several modellings for qualitative uncertain inference, each output is constructed as the intersection of preferred maximal (or otherwise distinguished) items satisfying desired conditions. In his paper [``On why the best should always meet'', Econ. Philos.

Bootstrap Contraction

Studia Logica, 2012
This paper introduces the notion of ``bootstrap contraction'', a new kind of contraction functions, which the author argues to be more cognitively realistic than most of the other kinds of contractions so far proposed in the literature. Given a belief set \(K\) and a set \(\mathbb{C}\) of operators on \(K\) which take elements of \(\mathcal{I}\) as ...

Theory contraction and base contraction unified

Journal of Symbolic Logic, 1993
AbstractOne way to construct a contraction operator for a theory (belief set) is to assign to it a base (belief base) and an operator of partial meet contraction for that base. Axiomatic characterizations are given of the theory contractions that are generated in this way by (various types of) partial meet base contractions.
