This paper proposes several time preference specifications that generalise quasi-hyperbolic discounting, while retaining its analytical tractability. We define their discount functions and provide a recursive formulation ...
Generalizing the Algebra of Throws to Rank-3 Matroids

Hall, Jasmine (Victoria University of Wellington, 2016)

The algebra of throws is a geometric construction which reveals the underlying algebraic operations of addition and multiplication in a projective plane. In Desarguesian projective planes, the algebra of throws is a ...
