Statistical decision theory and trade-offs in the control of motor response
Spatial Vision, 2003We present a novel approach to the modeling of motor responses based on statistical decision theory. We begin with the hypothesis that subjects are ideal motion planners who choose movement trajectories to minimize expected loss. We derive predictions of the hypothesis for movement in environments where contact with specified regions carries rewards or

Testing the Pecking Order Theory and Trade-Off Theory of Capital Structure
2009 International Conference on Management and Service Science, 2009This paper tests traditional capital structure models against the alternative of a pecking order model of corporate finance in Chinese stock market. We show that, the basic pecking order model, which predicts external debt financing driven by the internal financial deficit, has much greater explanatory power over the capital structure of Chinese listed

Testing Models of Dynamic Trade Off Theory
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007Dynamic trade off theory suggests that firms let their leverage ratios vary within an optimal range. I develop an empirical model that estimates how the determinants of capital structure affect the two boundaries that define firms' optimal leverage ranges. Empirical evidence supports the predictions of dynamic trade off theory. Volatility increases the

The Employment–Hours Trade‐off: Theory and an Application to the Portuguese Case
LABOUR, 2004Abstract. Using traditional production theory, it is possible to estimate production functions in which hours per worker and number of workers hired are treated as endogenous and chosen by the firm, priced respectively by the variable hourly wage and the so‐called quasi‐fixed unit cost.

Theory and Practice of Time-Space Trade-Offs in Memory Limited Search
2001Having to cope with memory limitations is an ubiquitous issue in heuristic search. We present theoretical and practical results on new variants for exploring state-space with respect to memory limitations.We establish O(log n) minimum-space algorithms that omit both the open and the closed list to determine the shortest path between every two nodes and

Modigliani-Miller Proposition and Trade-off Theory
2016This chapter considers the three basic ideas of capital structure. The capital structure irrelevance idea, the debt tax shield, and the link between expected bankruptcy costs and optimal capital structure. All of these ideas attempt to provide an answer to the following question: can the firm increase its value by changing its capital structure?

Use of trade‐off theory to advance understanding of herbivore–parasite interactions
Mammal Review, 2006ABSTRACTTrade‐off theory has been extensively used to further our understanding of animal behaviour. In mammalian herbivores, it has been used to advance our understanding of their reproductive, parental care and foraging strategies. Here, we detail how trade‐off theory can be applied to herbivore–parasite interactions, especially in foraging ...

The Kraus-Litzenberger Zero-Sum Trade-Off Theory
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015This paper proves that the objective function by Kraus and Litzenberger (1973) is always zero. Hence, any traded off must be zero-sum. Their inclusion of the bankruptcy variable belongs to the creditor, not the firm. This paper then works out another version of trade off: one between debt and equity, and shows that such trade off is rarely one-sided ...
