Risk Dominance Selects the Leader: An Experimental Analysis [PDF]
, 2000 We perform an experimental analysis to test whether the risk dominance prediction is supported by the behavior of laboratory agents, in a 2X 2 coordination game whose equilibria are not Pareto ranked.

Optimal heavy tail estimation – Part 1: Order selection [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2017 The tail probability, P, of the distribution of a variable is important for risk analysis of extremes. Many variables in complex geophysical systems show heavy tails, where P decreases with the value, x, of a variable as a power law with a ...
