, 2011 This chapter examines how the notion of indeterminacy challenges the equivalence principle (“Saying something is true is equivalent to just saying it”). Indeterminacy involves cases where we have a question “Are things thus?” to which neither the affirmative nor the negative answer seems appropriate.

The Relativity of Indeterminacy
Entropy, 2021 A long-standing tradition, largely present in both the physical and the philosophical literature, regards the advent of (special) relativity—with its block-universe picture—as the failure of any indeterministic program in physics. On the contrary, in this paper, we note that upholding reasonable principles of finiteness of information hints at a ...

Intergenerationality in the Light of Indeterminacy [PDF]
Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science, 2022 This Special Issue aims to shed light on the undetermined nature of intergenerational trajectories. Indeterminacy has been suggested to the author as an avenue to tackle the dynamic aspect -which entails looking at tensions in an unfolding process- of intergenerationality.

On the Indeterminacy of Determinacy and Indeterminacy [PDF]
, 2004 A number of authors have attempted to test whether the U.S. economy is in a determinate or an indeterminate equilibrium. We argue that to answer this question, one must impose a priori restrictions on lag length that cannot be tested. We provide examples of two economic models. Model 1 displays an indeterminate equilibrium, driven by sunspots.

Indeterminacy and Forecastability [PDF]
Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, 2011 Recent studies document the deteriorating performance of forecasting models during the Great Moderation, which conversely implies that forecastability was higher in the preceding era when the economy was unexpectedly volatile. We explain this phenomenon in the context of equilibrium indeterminacy in dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models.

Synthese, 2022 Recent work in applied ethics has advanced a raft of arguments regarding individual responsibilities to address collective challenges like climate change or the welfare and environmental impacts of meat production. Frequently, such arguments suggest that individual actors have a responsibility to be more conscientious with their consumption decisions ...

Unemployment and Indeterminacy [PDF]
Journal of Economic Theory, 2005 Using an efficiency-wage model, we examine the relationship between indeterminacy and unemployment insurance. It is shown that the less unemployment insurance is, the more likely equilibrium is to be indeterminate. Equilibrium can be indeterminate even without externalities or increasing returns, which makes a sharp contrast to the recent literature on

Indeterminacy and Imperfect information [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019 We study equilibrium determination in an environment where two kinds of agents have different information sets: The fully informed agents know the structure of the model and observe histories of all exogenous and endogenous variables. The less in-formed agents observe only a strict subset of the full information set.

IEEE Access, 2020 In this article a new $np$ control chart for the multiple dependent state sampling using the neutrosophic statistics has been introduced for the efficient monitoring of the number of defective items in any production process or the customer services ...

On the indeterminacy of the meter [PDF]
Synthese, 2017 In the International System of Units (SI), ‘meter’ is defined in terms of seconds and the speed of light, and ‘second’ is defined in terms of properties of cesium 133 atoms. I show that one consequence of these definitions is that: if there is a minimal length (e.g., Planck length), then the chances that ‘meter’ is completely determinate are only 1 in ...
