One of the main problems in pension policy is to develop an institutional framework that guarantees that public and private pensions promises are kept. This paper discusses how the governance of public and private pensions is key to making such promises credible.

European Economic Review, 2001
The literature has shown both that vertical delegation of decision-making authority to agents through observable contracts can serve as a commitment device and that such commitments are not credible when contracts are unobservable, since the delegator and the agent have an incentive to renegotiate any contract implementing strategies other than the ...

To be or not to be… credible that is: a model of reputation and credibility among competing firms
Corporate Communications: An International Journal, 1995Previous studies of corporate reputation have either confirmed its existence as an influence agent or described in general terms its effects on other attributes (quality, price, advertising, etc.). The competitive credibility model of reputation building is formulated and tested through simulation. Reports and discusses results.

Credibility in Information Retrieval
Foundations and Trends® in Information Retrieval, 2015Credibility, as the general concept covering trustworthiness and expertise, but also quality and reliability, is strongly debated in philosophy, psychology, and sociology, and its adoption in computer science is therefore fraught with difficulties. Yet its importance has grown in the information access community because of two complementing factors: on

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) relies upon adverse event data collected during pharmaceutical trials to evaluate the safety of medications, but these trials often fail to permit an adequate assessment of safety. The FDA usually recommends that at least 1500 patients be exposed to a new drug.

The Review of Economic Studies, 1985
This paper presents models in which one agent must decide whether to trust another, whose motives are uncertain. Reliability can only be communicated through actions. In this context, it pays for people to build a reputation based on reliable behaviour, someone becomes credible by consistently providing accurate and valuable information or by ...

EVOLUTIONARY HIERARCHICAL CREDIBILITY
ASTIN Bulletin, 2016AbstractThe hierarchical credibility model was introduced, and extended, in the 70s and early 80s. It deals with the estimation of parameters that characterize the nodes of a tree structure. That model is limited, however, by the fact that its parameters are assumed fixed over time.

Effects of explicit credibility statements by more credible and less credible sources
Southern Speech Communication Journal, 1973This study investigated the relationship of prior credibility (more; less) and credibility statements in a message (explicit self‐and prestige‐reference; no explicit self‐ and prestige‐reference) to overt behavior, post attitude, and terminal credibility of the source.

In this article we discuss set estimation in a Bayesian framework. In particular, we give a formal definition for a credible set in the general multivariate parameter setting and we will detail the unidimensional case when the set estimator is restricted to be an interval.

The American Economic Review, 1995
Privatization shifts residual income and control to private investors, restricting redistribution and improving incentives; thus rapid privatization should be desirable. Empirically, however, the transfer of ownership, as opposed to control, is very gradual. I offer an explanation based on investors' concern about future interference.
