A non-Lévy random walk in chacma baboons: what does it mean? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The Lévy walk is found from amoebas to humans and has been described as the optimal strategy for food research. Recent results, however, have generated controversy about this conclusion since animals also display alternatives to the Lévy walk such as the

Iterated stochastic integrals and random velocity fluctuations
International Journal of Mathematics for Industry, 2023 Iterated stochastic integrals of nonrandom integrands are constructed in the two-dimensional case. They are applied to the velocity fluctuations in a two-dimensional flow and mean kinetic energy of the velocity fluctuations is discussed.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Growing demand for healthier beverages is driving innovation in the wine sector, with dealcoholized wine emerging as a promising alternative. However, little is known about the contextual conditions under which consumers would choose dealcoholized wine, particularly in countries with strong wine traditions. To fill this gap, this work examines

Cliquet option pricing in a jump-diffusion Lévy model
Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications, 2018 We investigate the pricing of cliquet options in a jump-diffusion model. The considered option is of monthly sum cap style while the underlying stock price model is driven by a drifted Lévy process entailing a Brownian diffusion component as well as ...

U.S. Agriculture, Biofuel Markets, and Trade: Challenges and Opportunities
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using an enhanced Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model (GTAP‐BIO), this study assesses how the expansion in demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and the reduction in exports of agricultural products induced by trade disputes negatively affect US agriculture.

On extended stochastic integrals with respect to Lévy processes
Karpatsʹkì Matematičnì Publìkacìï, 2013 Let $L$ be a Levy process on $[0,+\infty)$. In particular cases, when $L$ is a Wiener or Poisson process, any square integrable random variable can be decomposed in a series of repeated stochastic integrals from nonrandom functions with respect to $L ...

Food Tastes in the United States: Convergence or Divergence?
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how food consumption tastes have changed in recent decades across the United States. Using NielsenIQ data for over 77 million transactions, there is evidence of divergence in food tastes across regions from 2007 to 2016 and across households of different income, education, and race/ethnicity groups.

Adaptive Lévy processes and area-restricted search in human foraging. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 A considerable amount of research has claimed that animals' foraging behaviors display movement lengths with power-law distributed tails, characteristic of Lévy flights and Lévy walks.

Lévy processes conditioned to stay in a half-space with applications to directional extremes
Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications, 2022 This paper provides a multivariate extension of Bertoin’s pathwise construction of a Lévy process conditioned to stay positive or negative. Thus obtained processes conditioned to stay in half-spaces are closely related to the original process on a ...

Testing the Marketing Performance of German Wheat Farmers
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper analyses the marketing performance of wheat farmers in Germany. Wheat sales data from 465 individual farms over a 12‐year period are used to test against different market benchmarks. Market benchmarks are constructed by simulating passive trading agents using regional wheat prices.
