Goodness‐of‐Fit Tests for Positive Quadrant Dependence
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary When two random variables are positive quadrant dependent (PQD), they are more likely to assume small (or large) values simultaneously compared with when the random variables are independent. This dependence structure is of interest in many areas, including finance, actuarial science and engineering.

Driven by risk: Understanding reference‐dependent preferences using simulated auto racing
Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.Abstract Using data from over 56,000 simulated auto races worldwide, we analyze risk‐taking at the margins, consistent with reference‐dependent preferences. We show that participants' risk‐taking changes when a desired intermittent outcome is presented, sometimes at the expense of a more favorable expected end state.

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2016 We consider a ‘contracting boundary’ of a proper geodesic metric space consisting of equivalence classes of geodesic rays that behave like geodesics in a hyperbolic space.We topologize this set via the Gromov product, in analogy to the topology of the ...

Welfare implications of fair and accountable insurance pricing
Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.Abstract This paper introduces an empirical framework to evaluate the welfare implications of fair and accountable insurance pricing by modeling the complete pricing process, including demand and price optimization. Moving beyond traditional cost modeling, we analyze both discrimination‐related fairness criteria and broader regulatory constraints, such

A Formal Theory of Robert Nozick's Framework for Utopia
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper offers the very first formal model of Robert Nozick's model of possible worlds and his vision of a utopian society, as outlined in Part III of Anarchy, State, and Utopia. Nozick envisioned utopia as a meta‐utopia—a collection of self‐organized, voluntary sub‐communities—arguing that such an institutional framework is equivalent to ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Grapevine powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Erysiphe necator, is one of the most prevalent obligate biotrophic pathogens in vineyards, posing a significant threat to grape production. Despite its impact, research on E. necator pathogenicity and grapevine responses remains limited.
