Entrepreneurs’ start-up versus persistence decisions: A critical evaluation of expectancy and value

Creator:: Holland, Daniel V. and Garrett, Robert P.
Abstract:: Research suggests that entrepreneurs tend to seek to maximize utility when considering whether to pursue a new venture opportunity. However, when choosing whether to persist with their current venture or not, utility maximization may not be of primary importance. Using a conjoint experiment, we examine the difference between policies in...

Decision-making competence predicts domain-specific risk attitudes

Creator:: Weller, Joshua A., Ceschi, Andrea, and Randolph, Caleb
Abstract:: Decision-making competence (DMC) reflects individual differences in rational responding across several classic behavioral decision-making tasks. Although it has been associated with real-world risk behavior, less is known about the degree to which DMC contributes to specific components of risk attitudes. Utilizing a psychological risk-return framework, we examined the associations between...

Professional Decisions: Responsibilities

Creator:: Elms, David G. and Brown, Colin B.
Abstract:: The responsibilities which civil engineers, and particularly the engineer of record, accept are considered. The interaction with other decision makers such as the owner, stakeholders, the law and contractors results in complexity that can be partially resolved by the introduction of protocols in the form of regulations and codes of...

The Optimal Time Path for Carbon Abatement and Carbon Sequestration under Uncertainty: The Case of Stochastic Targeted Stock

Creator:: Haim, David, Plantinga, Andrew J., and Thomann, Enrique
Abstract:: We explore the optimal time path of carbon sequestration and carbon abatement in stabilizing CO₂ levels under uncertainty of climate impacts. Using a two-period sequential decision making model, we analytically derive optimal rates for the two control variables, abatement and sequestration rates. Uncertainty is assumed to affect the desired future...

Integrating Sustainable Manufacturing Assessment into Decision Making for a Production Work Cell

Creator:: Zhang, Hao and Haapala, Karl R.
Abstract:: Sustainability has been the focus of intense discussions over the past two decades, with topics surrounding the entire product life cycle. In the manufacturing phase, research has often focused solely on environmental impact assessment or environmental impact and cost analysis in its assessment of sustainability. Few efforts have investigated sustainable...

A Systems Approach to Civil Engineering Decisions

Creator:: Rodriguez-Nikl, Tonatiuh and Brown, Colin B.
Abstract:: While contemporary civil engineering projects are increasingly complex, the cognitive abilities of the decision maker remain limited. There is a conflict between the complexity that is required to describe a scenario with all its relevant properties and the limited number of ideas that can be included in rational considerations and...

Completing the Link between Exposure Science and Toxicology for Improved Environmental Health Decision Making: The Aggregate Exposure Pathway Framework

Creator:: Teeguarden, Justin G., Tan, Yu-Mei, Edwards, Stephen W., Leonard, Jeremy A., Anderson, Kim A., Corley, Richard A., Kile, Molly L., Simonich, Staci M., Stone, David, Tanguay, Robert L., Waters, Katrina M., Harper, Stacey L., and Williams, David E.
Abstract:: Driven by major scientific advances in analytical methods, biomonitoring, computation, and a newly articulated vision for a greater impact in public health, the field of exposure science is undergoing a rapid transition from a field of observation to a field of prediction. Deployment of an organizational and predictive framework for...

Decision-Theoretic Planning with Generalized First Order Decision Diagrams

Creator:: Joshi, Saket, Kersting, Kristian, and Khardon, Roni
Abstract:: Many tasks in AI require representation and manipulation of complex functions. First-Order Decision Diagrams (FODD) are a compact knowledge representation expressing functions over relational structures. They represent numerical functions that, when constrained to the Boolean range, use only existential quantification. Previous work has developed a set of operations for composition...

Uncertainty and Precautionary Management of Marine Fisheries: Can the Old Methods Fit the New Mandates?

Creator:: Weeks, Hal and Berkeley, Steve
Abstract:: Continued stock declines in marine fisheries have resulted in a search for more risk-averse management approaches. In response, the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996 mandates habitat protection, bs catch reduction, and stock rebuilding. These changes emphasize precaution, and imply a shift in focus from maximizing yields to minimizing ecological impacts...

Professional Decisions: The Central Role of Models

Creator:: Elms, David G. and Brown, Colin B.
Abstract:: Engineering is largely concerned with models and modelling. Models provide a context in which decisions are made. Here the modelling process is considered in a general sense and then the relationship with engineering models is developed. For understanding, a first step is to differentiate and categorize. Thus ten types of...
