Since amortization plans are generally settled according to the compound interest law, some questions arise about the supposed presence of anatocism and the consequent legal matters. In this paper, we derive the traditional amortization plans by means of an alternative approach, based on the concept of fair amortization and without assuming a financial law. We find that the traditional amortization plan with constant installments can be derived in this way and the supposed presence of anatocism is excluded. An investigation on the possible anatocism, in case of delayed payment of interest, completes the discussion.</p>","PeriodicalId":43711,"journal":{"name":"Decisions in Economics and Finance","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139462572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Real-world systems are typically non-stationary, leading to entropy values fluctuating over time. This paper proposes a hypothesis testing procedure to test the null hypothesis of constant Shannon entropy in time series data. The alternative hypothesis is a significant variation in entropy between successive periods. To this end, we derive an unbiased sample entropy variance, accurate up to the order <span>(O(n^{-4}))</span> with <i>n</i> the sample size. To characterize the variance of the sample entropy, we first provide explicit formulas for the central moments of both binomial and multinomial distributions describing the distribution of the sample entropy. Second, we identify the optimal rolling window length to estimate time-varying Shannon entropy. We optimize this choice using a novel self-consistent criterion based on counting significant entropy variations over time. We corroborate our findings using the novel methodology to assess time-varying regimes of entropy for stock price dynamics by presenting a comparative analysis between meme and IT stocks in 2020 and 2021. We show that low entropy values correspond to periods when profitable trading strategies can be devised starting from the symbolic dynamics used for entropy computation, namely periods of market inefficiency.</p>","PeriodicalId":43711,"journal":{"name":"Decisions in Economics and Finance","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139376286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The multi-state modelling of these risks underlies projections of the population by functional disability status, the estimation of healthy life expectancy, the sustainable financing of public aged care and innovations in private long-term care insurance. Developing a model for the Australian population is challenging because of the lack of longitudinal health and mortality data for older Australians. We use the cross-sectional data in the Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers for years 1998, 2003, 2009, 2012, 2015 and 2018, providing prevalence of functional disability and illness across 20 years, to estimate a multi-state transitions model that best explain the observed changes of prevalence in Australia. We develop and estimate for the first time an Australian model for transitions between five states (healthy, disabled but not ill, ill but not disabled, disabled and ill, and dead) using age, sex and trend factors for those aged 60 or greater. Functional disability is defined by autonomy of activities of daily living. Illness is defined by chronic illness conditions including heart problems, diabetes, lung disease, and stroke. Model estimation is done numerically. Using the fitted model, we estimate yearly transition probabilities, life expectancy of retirees and projected population distributions by functional disability and health states. We also provide a comparison of the results with previous studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":43711,"journal":{"name":"Decisions in Economics and Finance","volume":"112 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138561809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the theory side, simple analytical models, involving intertemporal optimization, typically characterize agents’ investment decisions about ways to upgrade technology and enhance productivity. The prototypical model endogenously splits the productivity distribution in two: the right-hand side of the distribution is populated by innovators; the left-hand side is occupied by agents who follow a strategy of adoption or imitation. Given the assumptions of the model, the productivity of innovators grows at a constant rate (which directly depends on a constant probability of innovation). The evolution of the productivity of adopters may, in turn, implicate complex dynamics. Because the pace of productivity growth for adopters depends on the shape of the productivity distribution, different distributions might induce distinct growth paths, some of them potentially leading to the emergence of nonlinearities, such as limit cycles and chaos. This study investigates the presence of nonlinearities in technology adoption, for different configurations of the productivity distribution. Under reasonable parameterizations, endogenous fluctuations emerge as a plausible long-term equilibrium.</p>","PeriodicalId":43711,"journal":{"name":"Decisions in Economics and Finance","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138534228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
