Stochastic Monotonicity and Realizable Monotonicity [PDF]
The Annals of Probability, 2001 We explore and relate two notions of monotonicity, stochastic and realizable, for a system of probability measures on a common finite partially ordered set (poset) S when the measures are indexed by another poset A. We give counterexamples to show that the two notions are not always equivalent, but for various large classes of S we also present ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017 This paper defines and analyzes a new monotonicity condition for the identification of counterfactuals and treatment effects in unordered discrete choice models with multiple treatments, heterogenous agents and discrete-valued instruments. Unordered monotonicity implies and is implied by additive separability of choice of treatment equations in terms ...

Theoretical Economics, 2022 We develop a framework for deriving dynamic monotonicity results in long‐term stochastic contracting problems with symmetric information. Specifically, we construct a notion of concave separable activity that encompasses many prevalent contractual components (e.g., wage, effort, level of production, etc.). We then provide a tight condition

Monotone Confounding, Monotone Treatment Selection and Monotone Treatment Response [PDF]
Journal of Causal Inference, 2014 AbstractManski (Monotone treatment response. Econometrica 1997;65:1311–34) and Manski and Pepper (Monotone instrumental variables: with an application to the returns to schooling. Econometrica 2000;68:997–1010) gave sharp bounds on causal effects under the assumptions of monotone treatment response (MTR) and monotone treatment selection (MTS ...

Journal of Differential Equations, 1979 This is a study of systems which possess several steady states and whose solutions approach the set of the steady states as time tends to infinity. One is especially interested in the property of mutability, which implies the ability of the system to execute transitions from one steady state to another.

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2016 In this paper, we present the monotonicity and absolute monotonicity properties for the two-parameter hyperbolic and trigonometric functions. As applications, we find several complete monotonicity properties for the functions involving the gamma function

Second Law-Like Inequalities with Quantum Relative Entropy: An Introduction [PDF]
, 2012 We review the fundamental properties of the quantum relative entropy for finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. In particular, we focus on several inequalities that are related to the second law of thermodynamics, where the positivity and the monotonicity of

A Class of Fuzzy Variational Inequality Based on Monotonicity of Fuzzy Mappings
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2013 Invex monotonicity and pseudoinvex monotonicity of fuzzy mappings are introduced in this paper, and relations are discussed between invex monotonicity (pseudoinvex monotonicity) and invexity (pseudoinvexity) of fuzzy mappings. The existence of a solution
