Discounting Nordhaus [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper evaluates Nordhaus’s neoclassical complaints about the Stern Review from the vantage point of classical growth theory. Nordhaus argues that the Stern Review exaggerates the effects of global warming because it uses a discount rate that is well

Design for flexibility: An adjustable robust optimization approach with decision‐dependent uncertainty

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flexibility is a crucial characteristic of industrial systems that face increasing volatilities and is therefore essential to ensure feasible operation under uncertainty. Flexibility is often closely tied to the design of a system, and careful consideration must be taken to understand the trade‐off between design cost and operational ...

THE NEOCLASSICAL GROWTH MODEL WITH HETEROGENOUS QUASI-GEOMETRIC CONSUMERS [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper studies how the assumption of quasi-geometric (quasi-hyperbolic) discounting affects the individual consumption-savings behavior in the context of the standard one-sector neoclassical growth model with heterogeneous agents.

The Challenge of Handling Structured Missingness in Integrated Data Sources

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
As data integration becomes ever more prevalent, a new research question that emerges is how to handle missing values that will inevitably arise in these large‐scale integrated databases? This missingness can be described as structured missingness, encompassing scenarios involving multivariate missingness mechanisms and deterministic, nonrandom ...

Robust Reinforcement Learning Control Framework for a Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Using Critic Neural Network

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle control is critical to maintain flight safety and efficiency, especially when facing external disturbances and model uncertainties. This article presents a robust reinforcement learning control scheme to deal with these challenges.

Multiobjective Environmental Cleanup with Autonomous Surface Vehicle Fleets Using Multitask Multiagent Deep Reinforcement Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a multitask strategy for plastic cleanup with autonomous surface vehicles, combining exploration and cleaning phases. A two‐headed Deep Q‐Network shared by all agents is traineded via multiobjective reinforcement learning, producing a Pareto front of trade‐offs.

Bounding Rationality by Discounting Time [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Consider a game where Alice generates an integer and Bob wins if he can factor that integer. Traditional game theory tells us that Bob will always win this game even though in practice Alice will win given our usual assumptions about the hardness of ...

Adaptive Autonomy in Microrobot Motion Control via Deep Reinforcement Learning and Path Planning Synergy

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a data‐driven framework that combines deep reinforcement learning with classical path planning to achieve adaptive microrobot navigation. By training a surrogate neural network to emulate microrobot dynamics, the approach improves learning efficiency, reduces training time, and enables robust real‐time obstacle avoidance in ...

Collaborative Multiagent Closed‐Loop Motion Planning for Multimanipulator Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a hierarchical multi‐manipulator planner, emphasizing highly overlapping space. The proposed method leverages an enhanced Dynamic Movement Primitive based planner along with an improvised Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning approach to ensure regulatory and mediatory control while ensuring low‐level autonomy. Experiments across varied

DISCOUNTING AND CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY [PDF]

open access: yes
A constant social discount rate cannot reflect both a reasonable opportunity cost of public funds and an ethically defensible concern for generations in the distant future. We use a model of hyperbolic discounting that achieves both goals.
